 For the new Nostr Nests, which experience do you believe should be prioritized? Mobile or desktop?   
 Mobile 
 Do you think text chat should be prioritized over seeing people in the audience on mobile? 
 yes 
 My 2sats, audience visualization is a crucial part of the experience.  Feeling like you're "in a room" with someone you follow and respect makes the experience much more special intimate feeling. Chat rooms that are too large can have the opposite effect.  
 Jinx 
 How about a toggle button or card to switch between audience view and text view? 
 YES! That would be HUGE. 
 Yea if both views are an option, I like that idea  
 Hmmm noh, I think the ability to “see” who you’re connecting with is a huge part of the experience. 

But when you say text chat.. are you saying group chats (like legends) or the ability to text/chat live in space? 

I may change my mind.. 
 Think of it as a group chat for that audio space so people in the audience can talk and ask questions, so they can still participate even though they're not on stage. 
 I like both features but I know that’s going to be more work 
 Like clubhouse used to be? 
 Dunno, never used that 🥹 
 Is amazing - this way better 🔥 
 Mobile gets my vote. What are your high-level plans for the redesign? 
 Making it an actual Nostr client and supporting as many NIPs that make sense to incorporate. 
 Mobile friend. 😸📱 
 Mobile for user.
Desktop for creators. 
 +1 
 Oh yeah +1 on that one 
 Mobile 
 Mobile🫂 
 thats tough. i want desktop but mobile would probably be better for the majority 
 Agree. Trying to come up with design methods to do both. @Karnage is on the case. 
 It’s been a long enough process. If it’s just a matter of a little more time, both. But if it’s more than that a choice must be made I suppose. 😅 
 For recording sake desktop. 

Microphones, recordings, etc… 
 Got it. When you click the record button you're taken down a content creator rabbit hole with tools to help you create, drinks to help you stay hydrated, and snacks to keep you energized. Beer and beer jerky or should we have a water option too? 
 Record button has a bidet option. 
 I like it. Helps you stay on task no matter the situation. 
 mobile please 
 Desktop for podcasters and guests; mobile  for listeners 
 This is how I view it too. It will be hard to optimize for both, but Karnage is on the case. 
 For me it would be desktop 💜 
 Sames. Desktop users unite! But we also need a solid mobile solution. I feel it's a mix of desktop users for creators and mobile users for random talkers. 
 Agreed! 
 Both 
 Probably mobile... from a listeners perspective.

but

Probably desktop... if I was speaking.

Mobile seems more accessible to the masses imo. Main thing is having iOS and Android release at around the same time I think. 
 This seems to be the common answer. Thanks. 
 After the lunch of AI's feature in mobile phone with OneUI that is created by Samsung, I have had less AndroidOS phone's choices in Thailand, so I am prefer to use desktop than the past.    
 Mobile.
