 @idsera What are the biggest issues you think would hold Ditto/Cobrafuma back from being adopted by thousands of users in Brazil?

Let's say tomorrow they announce it on Brazilian TV and thousands of people go to use it. What do we need to fix first? 
 To be popular in Brazil you must have an app on Google and Apple stores. 
 We can possibly do it on the Google Store, but it would just be a wrapper around the website. Do you think that's still worth doing? 
 That's the only way to actually reach real big number of users in Brazil.

Even for Twitter, Instagram and Facebook that are perfectly accessible via site, the vast majority uses apps.

But that's not an assurance of success. You still will have to have a good strategy to make people choose NOSTR at first, and then to choose your client/app. 
 @elsat  
 Would a Portuguese language relay help? 

Do yall have a “send feedback” button on Ditto ready for new users to hear their feedback on the app? 
 We are working in translations and all of it's branches, so I think we are handling that well in medium term.

About sending feedback, we don't have it, usually people send us issues or feedback's in gitlab, which is not ideal for non technical people, thanks for the suggestion! 
 @bellatrix   
 Brazilians like to participate in Spaces on X, for example. It would be a really cool feature to have.

Most of them don't speak English. A feed with more accurate options in the local language would make things much easier, and it would also be more welcoming. 

The more intuitive it’s to use, the easier it will be to join. 

Thank you for all the efforts you’re making. 🫶 
 Obrigado! 
 Por nada, querido! 
No que precisar e estiver ao meu alcance estarei aqui para colaborar 🚀 💜 
 1- I would say that Ditto is in the right direction, you translated the app and it's fast. I really think that the onboard is very important and I think it should give the users to create account using email/password too. 
Two kind of accounts: Standard and Sovereign. So users could choose to create standard account and an option to be sovereign with nsec.

2- Other thing very important is have custom feeds created automatically, users could choose the topics, language that they are interested and not interested, so Ditto create the custom feeds based on these topics. Needs to be very easy to switch between the feeds or delete and add new ones.
When we onboard users, we really need to show some feed with the language the user understand.

3- Ditto needs to fix basic bugs.

4- A real PWA app is important. They way works now on mobile I don't think is as good as a PWA.



 
 about 3, what do you think is the most annoying bug currently? 
 Vou responder em português: O que mais me irrita é o feed parar de atualizar ou não mostrar as notificações quando elas ocorrem. O feed não mostrar posts que deveriam. Essas coisas. 
 Eu também. Está acontecendo consistentemente em gleasonator.dev 
 Ok, I'll inspect it and try to reproduce it in my machine 
 Look at the InternalRelay class. This thing is supposed to be distributing events to the streaming API. We should first add Prometheus metrics to it. Let's add a metric to track the number of active subscriptions and add a graph for it. 
 Provavelmente se você fechar a tampa do notebook e deixar a página do cobrafuma aberta, ao abrir novamente o Notebook, a página do Cobrafuma deveria automaticamente atualizar, sem nenhuma ação do usuário. Assim funciona no nostter.app e no X por exemplo.
 
 I don't use notebook, but what you just mentioned is different from before, right?

- The first problem is that it doesn't send new updates
- The second problem is that it doesn't refresh the page automatically when you suspend your notebook

? 
 Yes, different problems.

 We need a custom feed created automatically with major brazilians influencers too. 
 Next week I want to write a story on Nostr with  @fiatjaf as an interviewee. I'm happy to interview people involved with Cobra Fuma as well.

 Obrigado! 
 Eu estou pensando no seguinte:

Especificamente sobre as etapas para entrar e usar o Nostr deve ser algo que eu possa, em poucas etapas, levar um dono de mercearia ou uma senhora que vende quitutes de casa a ter sua carteira, fazer transferências e usar o Nostr.

English:

I have the following ideas about a quick use Nostr guide:

Regarding specifically the steps to join in and use Nostr it must be something that I will be able to, in few steps, lead a bodega owner or a homemade petit four businesswoman have their wallet, make their first transference and set the first relays to use Nostr.

 I agree. Brazilians love this nostrnests audio thing. If we have this integrated and working perfectly on Ditto, really helps.
