In the past year we have created the fastest embedded nostr relay/db which powers our note opengraph previews, android/notedeck, ios profile and note search. This tech will enable damus to have note stats without relying on centralized services like other clients. Soon it will enable a completely offline and speedy experience on ios. We pioneered image blurhashes and image metadata so damus and other clients don’t have a janky feed when scrolling. We added the limit feature to nostr queries so that you don’t have to pull down thousands of notes when querying. We added zaps, reactions and reposts. We added command results so notes can actually be saved to relays reliably. The reason you can even load nostr notes on your phone is likely due to the optimizations we have made to the protocol and will continue to do so. But sure, knock us because we don’t have a gif keyboard.

My original post was t specifically about any specific client or person, but since Vanessa replied about Damus I decided to lean in. You and your team have done incredible things for Nostr. But where I used to exclusively use Damus, I now barely ever use it at all. Im not the only user either as I...
