 Do you use "profile" to mean "account"? Weird. 
 I don't ever mean "account".  
 very interesting...

 how do we design a Nostr client that allows multiple accounts BUT doesn't need an "Account Switcher"? 

We can definitely allow the author to switch on the new post screen, but how would the user know that the feed is for a given account? Or do we just merge all feeds from the multiple accounts? 🤔

I hate account switching in almost all apps.

 
 Colour coding. Posts destined for account X's feed are red, account y's feed green. I have similar ideas for distinguishing from which relay a given post is from too. 
 I like the UX of switching when performing an action too (post, reply, zap, you name it...)

Besides that Community relays are worth looking into. Don't have time to write out why now 
but they have interesting properties, feeds that are detached from the reader being just one of them. 
 
 Nice idea, I will try it for Lume. 
 I've a update for you. All accounts will be show in a single screen, you can config which column will be show too. You can create a group (follow set) for account X and interest set for account Y, both can be use at the same time. I will show more demo video later.

 Lume merged the feeds! 🚀

 Do you use an event kind to specify the feed like that?  
 Ah, I'm not use event kind for that. Each newsfeed define by user's contact list (default) or their follow/interest sets (NIP51). Lume just show its all into a single screen, and save the state when user close app into the local database, maybe save it into relay too with NIP78. 
 So, I am going to start defining some type of Custom Feed event type.

This is complicated by definition, but it would be nice to have a feed defined in Lume showing up on Amethyst.

 as good a time as any to learn how to implement set operations

in Go i do them with for/range iterations and maps (which require mutexes because of concurrency)...

to be honest, a lot of C++ and other OOP programmers (java, rust) overemphasise the use of map/reduce operations, which are essentially set operations, but in my experience i need maybe one or two in a whole application and often this allows very specific implementations 
 Oh I will check it 
 We should find a good way to do it.  
 So which one of my followers is on of your sock puppets.
