I'm ok with that, I decided to work on foundational tech like a new database and a new relay model which should drastically improve damus ios performance. notedeck is a bit of a testbed. it may look like I have shifted focus but all of this tech is meant to be integrated into iOS.
In fact, I have a 116 commit PR that does just that!
https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/2121
then all of the cool notedeck tech will be available on iOS. the idea that damus ios has been abandoned just because I'm not incrementally adding to it every week is kind of silly. that's just not how engineering works.
That’s fine ! It’s open source environment and you work on whatever you want too and you aren’t obligated to anyone ! Just want you to be a little bit honest to the normies who don’t see it and maybe should start trying other mobile clients that outperform damus
which clients out perform it?
I switched to nostur, amethyst !
For sure both great. I feel like the idea that one is “the best” is antithetical to nostrs true super power;
There is one that’s best, for you.
x each individual user.
I’m not saying that damus should be the best! I’m saying that it shouldn’t be behind!
I’m saying I don’t think it is..
I think you will be surprised to try damus notedeck/android and future ios versions. no client currently compares to its performance.
I have no doubts but I been using damus almost since the beginning. Just don’t want to see it dies
