Open in Damus

I always hear these things "we are early", "things are improving" and so on, but to me everything is the same buggy as it has ever been, sometimes worse because more adoption means more bugs. This is not only about Nostr. I see so many bugs everywhere.

What has actually improved in Nostr in the past 10 months?

Damus is smooth and prostyle, (despite my internet being whack) as always, Primal has gotten much better and has a native wallet now…

nostr.build has greatly improved over the last 10months hands down..

You're not entirely wrong here. We have many new clients and many bugs on existing ones have been fixed. That's an improvement. However, we have old bugs that remain unfixed because it's not fun to address them, adding new features is fun, and we also have new bugs in new clients. Overall things are...

Spreading knowledge more widely

What are some of the bugs that bug you the most?

Tests and DevOps.

Laeserin · 136w

Software architecture, usability, quality, and sleek, intuitive workflows have always taken a back seat to just hacking things out really quick. There are users with big accounts on here who think software development is magic, so it you just change five lines chaotically and push, they erupt in ap...

Clients have improved to a point of usability that is 9/10. (I mean it's not like telnetting into a pop3 server, it's like using Twitter or WhatsApp when I show client apps to some boomers) I don't see why the protocol should improve all the time, it works. We have social media, messengers, market...

nak nak nak 💜 🤙 🫡 🙏 wonderful tool without nak nostr cannot be full.

the front ends are all so much better than they were last year. Everything is more stable, the UX as a result has improved leaps and bounds

More apps, more way to burn a nsec! Just kidding. The universe is expanding, maybe now we need a consolidation phase: less features, more stability and interoperability.

Well, from my limited PoV, formstr improved a lot, went from a barely running PoC to a usable MVP, not saying there are still not bugs, and scope for improvement but that comes with growth

so much! may not feel like it to you bc ur so deep into the tech but, for me, as a user.. a lot what was the name of the npub again with old nostr screenshots.. anyone? dergigi made it i think.. rly shows a lot imo

Many more relays where deployed

Happy₿ear🇮🇱 · 136w

number of bugs improved greatly. good job everyone

Le Chiffre · 136w

Sneaky engagement post inducing everyone to post all the cool things going on 🤭 BUT! as I've posted elsewhere, I recently returned from a 9-10 month break from nostr and have some first-hand perspective. Overall while the experience _looks_ nicer, it's certainly not _easier_. Until my grandmoth...

I could just post strfry happened and that would be enough for a 10 month period. Major relays would be dead right now otherwise.

Download an #amethyst release from 10 months ago and use it, then tell me there hasn't been massive improvement

Wallets integration, and sending and receiving seamless LN tips via zaps. Not only boosts Nostr usage but LN and Bitcoin adoption ... 🧡 💜

UX has improved a lot, astral.ninja barely used to work for me, I use Primal now, which works as well as X on the browser

I'm willing to overlook a lot for free software.

desktop apps for sure.. primal and alby have delivered a massive improvement in UX

The last 5% is as much as the previous 95%, mostly UX improvements is what I notice, also think concentrated developer tools still need to grow I think.

Uptime has improved. The longer nostr is working, the more likely it keeps working.

HERE.news (aka "Newstr") · 136w

probably not a bug issue

Llyr Noise · 135w

Phone apps improved a lot over the last 12 months. Web apps not much though.

I have a question but not sure if this is the right place to ask. But I'll try anyway... Why can't images be notes as well from the protocol point of view? One might say it's because of their size, but now that we have 'long read' content notes, the size argument does not strictly apply. What's els...
