I will continue to support damus iOS for the forseeable future, but to do things such as zapraisers and zap-to-unlock, i will need a different platform to build on. This is why I started an alternative, cross-platform client back in december that works on linux+mac desktop, android and web. This should also be the fastest client, it uses rust and low level graphics apis.

Building a client like like this is much more difficult, but will be worth it in the long run. Damus iOS will continue to be where I spend most of my time, and we plan on making it the best iOS onboarding experience for nostr, but if we’re going to build a new circular economy for bitcoin in cyberspace, the apple appstore isn’t the place for this.

Apple is shooting themselves in the foot with these restrictions.

GitHub link?

Disgusting what's happening in the world and how big tech are dictating what can and cannot be done. I hope market will make them pay for this. One more reason apple won't see a penny from me.

Yo will, I did a course on Front end development, have no experience other than that. Any chance you have a place for someone like me in this new endeavor?

I miss when having a Huawei wasn’t practically illegal. If you guys create a nostr phone I would be interested. This isn’t the first time they’ve pulled some shit like this

Thank you for your work!

The irony of how Apple claims to be all about privacy.

So is Damus a one & done?

If you build a web client and link it nicely with Damus, then for things like zapraisings you could link to that web client, while the experience could stay quite smooth. Maybe you could consider some secure scheme to pass the right URL params from iOS app to that Web Client...

Zap. Fuck Apple.

#[2]​ has brought much joy to many. Thank you 🙏🏻

How can we help?
nostranger · 164w
Thanks #[1]​ looking forward to using the cross-platform app. Apple’s ban because of zaps makes no sense. I have iOS banking apps that allow me to send money to other people and I’m pretty sure that’s not using the in-app purchase system.

You need any help writing iOS code?

Will this eventually be a solution to bring zaps backbto Damus one day? https://9to5mac.com/2022/12/13/apple-alternative-app-stores-iphone/

Apple is going full Streisand effect. Just wait and see.

What I don't get is how Apple allows Twitter to have the send people Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto as Tips, and allow wallets and exchanges where you can send crypto back and forth, yet refuse apps like yours.

Apple appstore is not the place for everything ;-)

Do you have a team of developers? Do you need any help? How do you want to monetise this app?
