 Spent the day redesigning #Amethyst as way to get accustomed with designing for android. The great thing about doing this for an "Everything app" is that I now have plenty of components ready to drop and adapt in more niche micro-apps. https://cdn.satellite.earth/593d4e5949e5f5426a68e07225a4c46a7bd5e2551f79106ec5aa9b491776d414.mov

Exploring some ideas as well: 
👉  Slide-out Dashboard with: 
- Wallet Connect
- Create button for: note, reel, article, event, ... (since there will only be more of these)
- Activity Log, ...
👉  Custom Feeds:
- A selector to switch between feeds that go way beyond selecting profile lists 
- Explore existing feeds created by others + DVMs
- Create you own based on: profile lists, relays, event kinds, .....
👉  Explore:
- Search on the navbar (since it's on every page already) 
- Make it an explore page instead of just leaving plenty of space empty

 I would pay money for this. Just saying. How many sats to make this happen? 
 Need.

 👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 
 I'd suggest the reels to be smaller tho like insta, that's the only major thing 👀 
 Imo #amethyst needs to have Communities somewhere priminent. Who even uses 'reels' ? Fro example. Even DMs have become somewhat redundant. 
 Currently designing the Communities part!  
 Reels is wishful thinking for users who aren't here and who may never turn up. 
 That's why I'd personally make them part of certain types of Feeds (opt-in) and not on the navbar. 
 Reels are where most of the Nostr content will be. It has a bigger user base than a Feed or a Chat interface.   
 Maybe, I like the optimism. It's supposing nostr will eat the Instagram and tiktok experience, or something?

Who knows ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Depends how you see things panning out in the future too. Tastes change. There feels like there might be somewhat of a resurgence in messageboards/forums for example. The pendulum could be anywhere lol.

There's not much usage now that's for sure.

 
 I agree. It's weird because I never use the reels on amethyst like ever. I don't want to see fucking pictures dude. Like I'm trying to read stuff and answer questions  
 That might actually be true. Making me rethink things here, me gusta.  
 I never use it 
 💯 
 Fuck yeah. Whats going to be different? 
 Nice! But I think search and explore should be different things. 

Search: I know what I want. 
Explore: Give me something cool I might like.  
 I always liked the apps that offer that spectrum on one page.
From "i want to see this note" to "find all users named Jack Jackson" to "What events are happening near me".  
 Can amethyst have that same layout in search 
 This is lovely. Good UI is what amethyst needs. You can make use of color gradient instead of having that static background color. 
 Please make this happen. 🙏

 I was thinking in coding your Custom Feeds idea and make  a list of those feeds the new "home". Similar to how on Chats you see a people list first and then enter in each chat room, the All Follows list would just be one item in the list. 

Switching the feed option in the top nav bar can still be there, but the app would naturally go back to your "Feeds" to reset your exploration of Nostr.  
 I remember you saying that an played around with that UI-wise but couldn't find sth that pleased me (yet). 

And then there's my own preference of landing on one particular feed that I picked as my top feed. 😉  
 Find a user that spends most of their time on What'sApp and you will see the "multiple feeds as home" idea. People create groups for everything... family, work, marketplace, fun, porn, etc.. It's all one mega list. They pin the important stuff to the top and the rest is by date.  
 That's a great benchmark! 
 Something like this...

nostr:nevent1qqs84ps7yhmjmaraqjjenzfvv3v9drgngejk075zgqk4t2purnm5xrspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsyg9fgd8wze0dqxegd0k0cfm3autst56n05z3kwrj3zycesqdtjy9hcpsgqqqqqqsnmzv3e 
 While I hate reels with a passion, this is beautiful UX.

I feel very blessed to have so many talented minds working on Nostr. 
 The ability to choose live streams or reels would be nice. I would rather see what is currently live streaming than reels. 
 That's the "custom" in custom feeds in my mind 👌  
 Overall, it's an improvement on what's there now, but gosh, I want to be able to customize stuff so I can nope out of stories/reels/whatever. I hated those things on every other platform. I don't think they are necessary on a protocol that has no algorithm. Also, without dumb filters (my opinion, I also hate that crap) or photo/video editing built in to the client, you're just going to get reposted junk from other platforms. If you want people to post original stuff, then the creative side of things needs to be implemented and then differentiated from snap/IG/TT.  
 Good point. The creation side of things is what we also will need a loooot more micro-apps for.  
 Yup. I can't see mass adoption from tiktokers without comparable editing tools. The issues that come up are music copyrights. That's going to be a pretty big sticking point if the RIAA goes after relay runners for hosting music that the rights holders aren't getting paid for. That's going to be a mess that we are all going to have to figure out at some point. Maybe with music that's and to be licensed and paid for via lightning, but that pool so be small at first until more artists step up and create music for nostr communities to use. I think that's a pretty big opportunity since I'm sure the artists would see a greater portion of revenue and also the relay host could use part of that fee to cover the costs of hosting. It could be a triple win, if structured correctly.  
 If I understand where file hosting on nostr is going more or less correctly (Hornet storage etc) then that's going to be pretty hard to enforce.  
 I don't know enough about that, yes pretty much all over my head. It'll shake out somehow.  
 Overall good design. Amethyst needs redesign. It needs the thread redesigning most. It is very difficult to know who replies whom in tne thread. 

Reel is not my issue. I hope they are not like facebook or tiktok. Put communities there on the top keeping the design intact. 
 1. Indeed. Threads is something I'm planning to in depth on for Nostrdesign.

 💛💛 
 100 percent fucking agree to all of this! 
 Can I use some ideas for @Yana ? 
 No need to ask for permission sir!

Still building it out, but feel free to look around: https://w3.do/obmXpTC_ 
 Just great 👌 
 Thank you sir! 
 Looks very good. Left sidebar and Reels above the feed are a lot better imo. 🔥 
 إعادة تصميم  #Amethyst بشكل جديد و تصميم رائع للإندرويد وقد نرى هذا التصميم الجديد في الإيام القادمة 

و نلاحظ في التصميم الجديد بعض الافكار أيضا مثل :

 لوحة تحكم قابلة للسحب مع:
 - اتصال المحفظة
 - زر إنشاء لـ: ملاحظة، بكرة، مقالة، حدث، ... (نظرًا لأنه لن يكون هناك سوى المزيد منها)
 - سجل النشاطات، ...
 - خلاصات مخصصة:
 - محدد للتبديل بين الخلاصات التي تتجاوز مجرد تحديد قوائم الملفات الشخصية
 - استكشاف الخلاصات الموجودة التي أنشأها الآخرون + DVMs
 - إنشاء الخاصة بك على أساس: قوائم الملفات الشخصية، والمرحلات، وأنواع الأحداث، .....
 👉 اكتشف:
 - البحث في شريط التنقل (نظرًا لأنه موجود في كل صفحة بالفعل)
 - اجعلها صفحة استكشاف بدلاً من ترك مساحة كبيرة فارغة 


مارإيكم في التصميم الجديد هل هو رائع ؟
