Now that outbox is (mostly) out of the way, here are the next major tasks we have ahead of us: - New text parser/renderer - Add Pokey, kill our push notification server - Add local DB for long term storage - Add support for NostrNests with join - Add support for bitchat, MLS and pollerama - Add full NWC wallet - Add support for Nostr Cashu wallets - Add post scheduling - Add Contact Cards with private follows - Add Follow List management - Add Algo relay support - Add local WoT support - Rebuild the profile screen - Rebuild the thread screen - Migrate Quartz to Multiplatform KMP with a separate project per NIP Did I miss anything?

Yes, but mainstream clients need to adopt it to for nostr to be able to be any kind of fun, right now we only have jumble.social

Yes and are heavily utilized by Nostriches.
nostr nests on amethyst would be cool. I like voice rooms. I used to spend all day chatting on the app clubhouse and made many friends. Add country, state, cities, gender etc in our profiles so we can search for other users this way. I don't have a way to find friends.
Yes, you would have to enable relay browsing for that to work, which would be really cool... Or maybe just a slider on the post editor that enables publishing to a specific address that is manually typed in, that overrides the relay list for that post. Then Amethyst user could create Zapbox notes and whatnot, if they want.
this is what it looks like in jumble (since jumble knows what relay(s) you were browsing from.) the toggle sets the nip70 flag. image
I love the work you do, but the translations are just terrible. It often doesn't know what language the content is and guesses, then the translations themselves are very low quality
Yeah, we have no fix for that yet. The AI we use must run on the phone and the current model is quite outdated. To my knowledge, there are no replacements yet.
What if you give the option to use jumble's translation service for users that are OK with the privacy implications and with the cost?
Or have a way to disable translations altogether? Because I'd rather not have the feature than have it in this state personally
You can disable by language. Because even if they are not as good, a translation from say.. Arabic.. is always better than no translations.
In that case I would just plop it into kagi translate and have a really good translation
Since Amethyst is now exposing the IP address/location of users' mobile devices to potentially hundreds of relays - which will inevitability include malicious relays - I think that 'internal TOR connections' needs be 'on' by default. Once upon a time, I'd have been in a whole world of strife if my device started passing traffic to an end-point in Iran, N. Korea etc.
Offline or online? Paid or free? Do they keep all the translated messages safe or can they sell them to AI operators and ad businesses? Lots of these services only exist to sell the data. Translating private DMs would be an issue.
Paid, online. Don't sell data, in fact that's a core part of their business model. As for DMs I'm not going to receive DMs in languages I don't speak, so personally it doesn't matter for me
Eu nΓ£o falo uma palavra de portuguΓͺs, mas o que vocΓͺ estΓ‘ lendo agora Γ© uma traduΓ§Γ£o feita com o Kagi translate. Pelos meus testes limitados com as lΓ­nguas que eu falo, esta traduΓ§Γ£o deve ser muito boa. O que vocΓͺ acha? image
I don't doubt the translation is good. Many of these services offer amazing translations. Even Google themselves do. The question is always on the price and privacy of the request. After all, it's uncommon to see details on nostr that need to be protected
A lot of stuff on the table! One question, is it possible to disable text translations? Lately every note is translated in my system language and I prefer the original in English.
Media permissions so we can choose other folders & why does one specific npub that I made not have the option to backup the secret key? Every other npub the setting shows but when I switch to that one it's not there like it never existed.
There might be some bug on the way you logged in with that key. Usually that happens when there were two of the same user, one with Amber and one with an nsec. Media permissions is a challenge, since Google Play is requiring the use of per file permission via that interface they made. I will see what I can do, but Android is moving away from displaying folders to any app. They see as a massive security problem.
Whatever it needs for me to see more then just amethyst & downloads & make the 3 dots appear to hit browse do it! Every other app can no reason amethyst shouldn't. As for this secret key what you mean? Ur saying it happened because I made the npub before I downloaded amber? Why didn't it happen for the others then?
We don't control that screen. We can't just add buttons to it unfortunately. On the other one, yes. I don't know why it didn't happen with the others. The bug is not repeatable. It might have happen many versions in the past and stayed like this since then. The fix is unfortunately to clear storage and re-login with all accounts.
You don't add buttons to it you give the app the permissions it needs & then the extra folder & button will appear automatically.
I hope people abuse this so it's shown that this method of centralizing relays like this not only contradicts that it's suppose to be a decentralized network but it's harmful to people & the app like jesus everything still loads slow & clunky. Someone fork the old version & add the new stuff to it without this relay changes.
Yes, but they are now forcing apps to not use those things anymore. They want apps to ask for specific permissions for each file they want to access. That's what the new permission system does. There is no broad file access anymore.
I still see apps using them & haven't seen one that does stop all of a sudden.
There are very good arguments both ways. The outbox model lends to better UX, and means that replies to notes aren't missing if you're not reading from a relay that somebody else is using. And there's also the argument that relays are not a practical solution to the censorship problem I.e. PKARR used by #Pubky.

I appreciate the accuracy of your point. I believe many don't understand the difference between an apps Notifications setting and a a confident sense of Location privacy settings. I may be wrong here. Thank you so much for Amethyst. πŸ’œ
only because you asked... what about the "show less" button at the bottom of a looonnng note. we have the "show more" button, but i want a show less one too. thx in advance. #smij #zapd #grownostr
