For the last year and a half I’ve been using damus​ exclusively

That was until I left iOS and joined the android world

Now I mostly use Amethyst 

BUT there are still a few things that Damus does better:

1. I like the notifications on Damus better. It paints a much clearer picture of what’s been happening
*I also love the little “zap” notification that happens while you’re in the app and receive a zap 

Sometimes it feels like I have to decode the notifications on Amethyst 

2. Damus also gives a clearer view on the feed. I find it confusing sometimes trying to figure out who the original post was from on Amethyst 

3. For some reason (probably user error) I cannot share videos easily on amethyst like I can on Damus

4. Damus also has the option to view “Posts & Replies” on the same feed. Which I much prefer instead of having to choose one or the other.

This post is not meant to shit on Amethyst. As mentioned, I’ve been using it more than Damus since getting the new phone.

I love that we have the ability to choose which client we use while everything else remains constant.

But I’d love to see some of these Damus features worked into the Amethyst client.

Until then I will continue using both clients (this is being typed from Damus).

 thanks for the feedback! 

 Of course. 

Mostly positive feedback honestly. I love Damus and it's the best ios option by far.

Is there a way to use it on Android? 

 its what I’m mainly working on now, sometime this year is the goal 

 Extremely excited for this! 

 Made this same move/transition back in the beginning of April. Great note 👏 

 what features do you miss the most from amethyst ? 

 One of my favorite features since using Amethyst is being able to save content like pictures and video.

Was trying to explain the difference between clients to my boss who barely uses social media to begin with. He wants to be able to save content in order to share it elsewhere, but cannot save content directly to his iPhone.

Damus doesn't seem to have such a feature.
At least that I can tell. Please guide me if I'm ignorant of the feature.

Damus definitely seems more friendly to a newcomer however. I think that's why when I started using Nostr via Damus it was easy for me to begin. The simplicity helps a lot there.

Damus is definitely my go-to Nostr app for iOS, but I no longer use my iOS based tech much.
