 Why doesn’t @0xchat have a lot of users? It already has this functionality plus a built in ecash wallet and nostr following feed. 
 The name reminds me of Erithreriueum. 
 I downloaded to phone. But haven’t tested.  Wasn’t 💯 on how it works.  The way it has been marketed hasn’t been clear.  

Is it also a desktop client? 
 nah i don't think there's a desktop client 
 idk, answering from 0xchat, but it took me some time, bcs normally I saw you in my Damus feed, but in 0xchat I needed to add you to my contact list, but as I said before, this app looks sick 🥹 When I downloaded it first time I thought that is app only for messages, but it seems like fine client, hope that one they it will be maybe fast like  Damus. 
  
 Maybe that’s why, it need to be more stable 🫡  
 There’s different feed options on the top right. I don’t use the feed much, but it’s nice that it’s there. Liked and zapped feed is cool. I wish there was an option to display only top level notes in the feed though. cc: @water783 
 I don't know tbh. It's a bit odd that it doesn't.  
 It sucks on my phone. Like, surprisingly awful on a phone with top end hardware.  
 Are you using the latest v1.3.3? 
 Yes. 

Just reinstalled it. Slow. Clunky. 

I get it is initializing, but... Other clients don't take this long to populate something.  
 No clue how this ended up here. 🤷‍♂️ 
 Which phone are you using? 
 fwiw performance is not an issue at all for me 
 Currently a OnePlus 12. 

It's working now, but... It only started working after I logged out. So... WTF? But it's still... Awkward? Not doing things as I'd expect?  
 Try closing the app and restarting it?  
 I've restarted my phone several times for other things. So yes, I've done that.  
 I’m using the latest version on a Pixel 6 and it works fine 
 I can post from it, but cannot see anything from it. At all.  
 I’ve just signed in and it’s Dope as F 🔥 now I need to figure it all out 
 My guess, no public dev to put a face to, so lack of trust. 
 All the code is open source

https://github.com/0xchat-app 
 Which is good. But who are the devs? 🥷

The most popular clients have public devs who build relationships (and therefore trust) with their users. 
 Skin in the game. 
 @water783 is the main dev 
 Creating bots on nostr isn't as easy as botfather. Also I think UI similarity is key. Also telegram runs on web, desktop and mobile. 0xchat is only on mobile to my knowledge.
