nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk were you able to troubleshoot the webrtc calls?

It could also include the reason why you’re calling. This ux seems way better than what we currently have

Good idea

Thats actually a pretty good idea, you could get a message like [(name) would like to talk about (reason for wanting to call), expires in (amount of time)] or something to that effect.

😂 You don’t have to answer a call. Calling someone isn’t rude and not picking up isn’t rude either this is how the world worked before the internet.

You can already send a text message first asking the other person to call you back. That's essentially what you're describing.

This seems to me like an somewhat automated solution to a problem easily solved through simple communication like text. "Are you busy or can we jump on a call?" Fixes a lot of that. You can even program it into a shortcut.

First of all, please stop with the genius ideas.

We need you to invent problems to the solutions we already have. 🥹

Love it. This might be the one and only chance to actually get me on the phone. I dont answer calls anymore.

absolutely genius 😹

plz stop incoming spam calls. wish I had a personal AI answering service to screen for spam and only allow callers thru that want to give me money and block callers trying to convince me to part with my money.

IOS26 uses ai to screen calls. The caller states name and purpose and the receiver has the choice to accept, otherwise AI replies that a message will be sent to the receiver.

The phone ringing is your call request.

that's how it should be in times of silent mode

Except for the very few who I have white-listed, I already require a text in advance. I suspect by adding this little bit of friction, most would-be lazy callers instead opt for a more succinct text conversation anyway.

Calling already has a decline function… don’t see the issue

This is the future.

Or just text - "hey call me"

bestie and I already do this. We don't call each other without permission. "are you available to talk?" and then we negotiate from there 🤣 then I know if she calls me w/o permission it's a GD, defcon-5-level emergency. everyone in my family understands this except the (adult) kids. 😂 they ...
