Always bullish to see proof of work! Can't wait to test out Damus on my android phone

quoting nevent1q…gn75

bought a budget android tablet to test out a pre-alpha version of Damus Notedeck on it. Works quite well! Most other apps on this thing are sluggish.

The difference between this app and most other nostr clients is that it only ever talks to the local relay. This reduces the overall experience of latency and lag when using the app. Once the note arrives, it will always load instantly at any point in the future. We will be moving iOS to this model not long after we iron out the bugs on the android side.

Another distinguishing feature is that Damus Android is purely native, it's running directly on the CPU and drawing directly to the GPU. This makes it insanely responsive on all devices, since there is no javascript, web or java overhead.

Excited to release this sometime this year! Building multiple apps in parallel with such a small team is time consuming, but we're getting there. Thank you for your patience!
