i'm curious what isn't if the list is short...i use nostr daily and never have issues. if something is broken, we should fix it.
I don't have anything to give you. I've been here for years and still haven't found a client that works well with Amber and does the basic tasks well. I'm not saying they don't exist somewhere, I'm saying I'm sick of looking. I still have to fuck around with threads not loading, relay issues, general bugs that never get fixed because piling more code into the apps is more important, battery drain like crazy, the list could go on. I've tried the big names, I've tried smaller ones. I think most of us have just been trained to deal with stuff so "everything works fine for me" culture persists. Either I'm using extremely esoteric tooling and these tools aren't built for me, I'm retarded, or people are gaslighting me and themselves. Nostr feels a lot like riding a rocket built out of foam and hot glue most days. For years. I'm just exhausted by it and don't want to try another client. I'm sick of hopping around hoping one will do the basic shit. I built my own and it was asinine to keep up with. I don't want to do that either and it really shows the state of things if that's the best option I have.
I wish I could figure out how people never have issues, but I've been here probably almost 4 years and still struggle to get notes to load and have to jump around. I've fucked with client settings. I'm tired of that. I've tried web clients. They're buggy as hell. My final attempt was a desktop client. Wouldn't connect to Amber.
I just don't have the energy to find the elusive "works for me" so many have found.
The closest I've seen requires me to paste my nsec or use Google, Apple, or some app that's so centralized it's hardly Nostr anyway. Pass.
If it isnt built for Graphene, external signers, and basic privacy tools, it just isnt for me. Cool.
