 Yeah, it isn't a perfect comparison, but some of the things corps do are done for a reason and work better. They don't necessarily focus on what the perfect answer is, but what AN answer is that gets the job done. I can tell you for sure that telling people like me to fuck off won't be good in the long run.

Average people aren't going to install a specific keyboard from a GitHub repo to 'fix' editor bugs that have existed the entire time I've used Nostr (it's still there, on multiple devices and keyboards). This is a real interaction I had with a Dev. There are a lot of very basic issues that have taken the backseat to additional features and no one seems to care. I'm not installing a specific keyboard just to use a Nostr client and neither will most normies. It's like building a house on a half-finished foundation. I don't get it, especially when people are testing and telling them about issues for free. I just stop funding and using those apps and move on at this point. There isn't much else I can or will do for those projects.
