jb55 on Nostr: This idea that the ios app is abandoned is ridiculous and insulting to our iOS devs ...
This idea that the ios app is abandoned is ridiculous and insulting to our iOS devs (eric, swift, daniel). Just because I don't post about it here anymore doesn't mean work is not getting done there.
Priorities are not off, we have a very specific plan that we are trying to execute before we can begin to market Damus to a wider audience. If we don't have android/desktop we're not going to be able to compete with anything. Our marketing strategy is not going to be "use primal". That is rediculous.
Users wanting one off features is not going to make damus succeed, there is a larger plan and goals. We want to onboard hundreds of millions of people into a proper, decentralized client that works on all platforms. It's imperative we do this before the bluesky of nostr takes over marketshare and onboards everyone first. This new client is a part of the plan, so your comment about competing with primal is weird. It's the entire point of notedeck, it have a primal-quality client without a centralized relay. I just had to do a shitton of upfront work to make it possible.
doing things the hard but right way takes a lot of time, and I am a single person. I could have easily gone the primal route and just made a centralized relay that does all the hard work, but it's completely against the core pillars of damus: "The social network you control".
