Months? A year! Pretty sure!
I joined Nostr last year around my birthday and that was the first feature that made me go YES! And I was hooked ever since.
Even when amethyst was mutiny people and people had onyx. I still went back to amethyst to talk to peeps with the translation feature and whatever other features weren't on onyx at the time.
You can even edit a post:)
*I believe only other amethyst users see the edit.
You can even edit other people's posts lol
Fucking True.. use #Amethyst since day one basically. vitor implemented ad built so many things in the first 2/3 months that all devs where almost pissed by him..
Probably that was thw beginning when Influencors putted him in the corner.. also because I admit, he always wanted to do thw shit his own ways, without listening to others.. but man, he was GFY since the beginning. He was and is the spirit of #Nostr itself, also because like for Onyx, you can fork #Amethyst and do what you please. I used Onyx.
There's so many shit you can do on Amethyst and only that I could spend a day.. but Vitor is not paying me for those notes, so I prefer others to put all the goods I forgot ahahahh
..also, I am lazy.
And he embraced onyx!
I remember I downloaded obtanium because he posted about it like "with obtanium it's anti Google and you can see when amethyst and onyx update and see which is better🤷🏽" and I was like OK I WILL DAMNIT
Indeed, he often remember people to use Obtanium, and you are completely right he embraced onyx and hoped more fork of amethyst would come.. pioneer.
I think it's the right mentality.
Challenge my thinking🤷🏽
Make me see that You're right and have to implement it myself if I want to keep up🤷🏽
Or just make it how you want it. I'm not hiding anything🤷🏽

@Vitor Pamplona I love you nohomo
I do appreciate so much your work, until now
@Vitor Pamplona , sorry if my zaps didn't show it as much as I would like to. 🫂💜🔥🫡🤙
@Vitor Pamplona you're killing it. And i can't wait to see what comes from your integration of nost into the medical field.
🫂💪🧑🎤
I use this as my daily driver, almost never use anything else.
He is also implementing creation lists and feed lists on Amethyst.. can't wait for it.
Now that I follow 1700+ users, many notes got buried from people that don't post much, but the quality of their note is so high.. but I don't want to unfollow #plebs to see them..
I am 95% on #Amethyst, liking #Freerse recently, but still many things to do.
When Amethyst iOS?
tried other clients also. #amethyst till now the best for me
That’s a great idea!
Yeah my #1
Too restricted?
#Nostrudel PWA is better
I do wish there was a native app tho
Amethyst is better as native app but overall #Nostrudel is dope
Apple is a rotten fruit..company.
Stay humble, stack nips.

@Vitor Pamplona probably
Victor is my Nostr Crush. 🤗 Amethyst since day one too.
The idea of interacting with a lot different nostr stuff but not supporting full functionality is pretty brilliant, encouraging exploration of the whole ecosystem. I think that's my favorite thing about amethyst.
Yes, I like this 💜🫂
👀
Absolutely love #Amethyst, the most stable client I've tried on my #pixel.
My fav #Amethyst influencer is
@Derek Ross the OG
Amethyst 🤗💜💜💜
Indeed, Derek is the only one I remember saying always good words about it, since the #skullofsatoshi.. we had it before anyone else 😂💜
@Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 made if I remember correctly 💜🫂🔥🫡
The Best android one 100%, I think it is opensats and maybe jack funding it, also zaps from users.
Hard to know, they have no website or anything.
He did 🫂
That guy is tired AF right now. He spent all day cleaning his boat and using his boat.
Who is funding Amethyst? Vitor and OpenSats.
Who shills Amethyst? Many people do. It's been my number one client for a year now. I use it daily.
I also complain about Amethyst daily because it has stability issues and I want it to be the best as it as the most features out of all Nostr clients.
There's a reason I call Vitor the Master of NIPs.
Yeah Derek, mine were more provocative question, and is absolutely true that you "shilled" and appreciated it since the beginning 💜🫂
My note was more to enlight how is not enough pushed and mentioned even if it implements more "stuff" than any other client.. like DVM (I don't know what I am talking about, but a bird told me is cool stuff).
The boat where you'll lost your key.. 😁🤙
@Vitor Pamplona makes me proud to support and engage with developers.
When I receive zaps I make it easy on myself and forward them to him. 💰
Simple math. No tax basis. 😨💯
Never even met the dude. 🤣
#Amethyst
All I read is you have a boat, which means you're top tier #bloomstr 🫂
It's a 22 foot Bennington pontoon boat. It's alright. Not my dream, but it does the job.
brat.
Good times!
Your boat party invite will get lost in the DMs.
wow, i am writing you a bad yelp review
Sunday innit!

I'm switching to
@npub1wyr6...zxsh for my business when it launches at Prague.
i was gonna say something clever but you threw a new product at me, damn you are good, derek
That’s what I asked
@Vitor Pamplona but he doesn’t want to 🕊️I feel like nostr would take off if we had Amethyst iOS
Primal is nice looking, generally well, and is cross platform, but rollout of new features is been pretty slow. Especially compared to the insane pace Vitor seems to develop at.
*generally works well
Yeah Vitor can be like that, his own way 😂😅
Anyway IMHO apple is a rotten fruit, and all the problem with Damus and zaps was just the top of the iceberg..
With a gentleman's agreement that we all must NEVER ask midjourney to make a JPEG with that prompting.
iOS 🙃
Agreed 😂
Vitor: "i(No)OS "
Amethyst is the reason I find it hard to switch to primal
I agree. Even with Amethyst's crashes and lag issues, all of the features make it my go to 98% of the time.
I like amethyst the best so far.
Not 👏 on 👏 iOS 👏
Kinda hard for it to be recognized if half the user base can’t run it.
For real
What about Damus being only iOS and being recognized?
What about apple being a rotten fruit all against decentralization and all the things nostr is built for?
Honestly, this is the best of all clients for me.
What's the point of running freedom tech app on a slave device?
Love The Good Vibes and fun on #Amethyst, The best client on my #Phone . People on ios missing out all the fun . Other clients keep nuking all the follows and relays.
@Vitor Pamplona Thanks ✨️🫂 99% Amethyst can't wait for the next update 🔮 Nice work Team! 🔥
#YESTR
My go to 🫡
yes other clients Nukeapalooza fest 24x7.
is it better than primal?
I have both and find primal better in many ways...
I do prefer it on Primal yes, and I put down some of the reasons, but everyone is different and likes different features. What is that you like and have on Primal that is missing on Amethyst? Other than algos..
So glad it was my first client right away, since it's on fdroid. Tried 2 others and immediatly uninstalled them, having the mad max "mediocre" meme in mind.
mainly the algos (sorting by trending and most zapped posts) but also the immediate zap in the app rather than having to open an external wallet.
#Amethyst was the first to introduce one tap zap and wallet nostr connect, you can do it with alby and Mutiny and Zeus, also in non custodial version.
Same path as you.. 1+ year loving it 🤙
Primal for desktop, Amethyst for my Pixel 8 Pro - the best of two worlds...
Amethyst is my daily driver on mobile. It is really great.
- Follow tag (So far only Amethyst do that for Android)
Amazing features indeed, none talking about 🤙🔥
Hard for Damus to br recognized by anyone on Android too as its not in the app stores. Even still, there are people running Damus on Android today, the dev is working on it.
Nostr as a client runs fine on Apple. Its probably even more importnat it does so for ensuring that decentralized software stays usable on any mainstream platform.
You remember the issue with zaps and apple and the store, and the first release day in china.. apple is a rotten fruit company. IMHO.
Why is it not on iOS? So easy to create apps for both platforms.

It's not on iOS because Vitor doesn't care about building for iOS. Anyone else is free to though, it is open source.
Vitor Pamplona
Likely never, but If somebody wants to use our code and turn it into a Kotlin Multiplatform app and generate an iOS version, I can help the process to reformat it.
View quoted note →
1. I am an Android dev, not iOS or other PWA stack. So, any time on iOS will take away from our Android users.
2. iOS is extremely centralizing, which goes against Nostr's core values. I just don't want to help that centralization to continue.
3. I don't believe in the corporate idea of developing the same app to many platforms. You either don't specialize enough in each platform to make it cohesive with its OS or you do it at the expense of the app's features and completness. Meaning, you can ship a basic app in 3 platforms, or a massive app to platform, but you can't do massive apps in all platforms.
iOS has a limited lifetime by design
Screw iOS
Does anyone know whats the best way to access #amethyst on bluestacks or other emulator?
#asknostr
Apple is a surveillance device, makes no sense to use it with nostr. Congratulations Vitor 😉🤙
Few.. 🤙🔥✊
planned obsolescence
I mean, its an architecture that is dependent on the existence of a company as its authoritative source. This is not a self sustaining system.
<3 ^5
if you dev in java, all plataforms with jvm will work bro.
multiplataform + speciality is already possible. but I'm with you. IOJAIL users pay for their data stolen, so they should pay for a programmer to dev to their plataform hahahahahaha
I remember asking when Damus for Android would come. I was told something similar.
A couple of months later, you dropped a clunky version of Amethyst, but it was usable. For a while Amethyst & Nostros were both pretty reasonable Nostr clients.
At some point Amethyst started becoming smooth & stable. Then you just went all out dropping features that would take some clients months/years to add.
I always admired the way you worked! You just took what you thought was the right path & adjusted as you went.
Thank you 🧡
Always makes me laugh when devs are just this one thing. Nothing more annoying. Learn it then, it’s all the same.
The main point is IMO:
APPLE IS A FUCKED APP DYSTOPIAN AND SUPER CENTRALIZED COMPANY.
Oh, I know how to code it. I just don't want to waste my time doing it.
