Everyone is a product tester on nostr, knowingly or not. Nostr is testing in production, all the time. Providing feedback to devs helps fix a broken thing for you, and improve the app for all. Providing feedback between two nostr apps, or a nostr app and a relay helps improve interoperability. I encourage you to submit your feedback, and make nostr better for everyone. https://image.nostr.build/9aeb24dd7aecdfb994ffaafa622830e87e231e92c36df260c64f6607657752ef.png If you dont know how to do it: 1) screen recordings, and screenshots really help 2) see an example single nostr app rubric creating a new issue in damus issues (use this for any nostr app). For nostrability issues (intercation between more than one app, or an app and relay) see the nostrability issue template https://image.nostr.build/39f1e74b9a2f0056048c46328da35831d82c1722b70950acae159583e6b43414.png https://image.nostr.build/238e985e14b028f8ce9562463fe4122047d4045f1578bbe378adccc09259b06c.png https://image.nostr.build/68de02600d089c7fc08d303fe6a8636728440237bc941a25bcc25d567c19518d.png https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/new/choose https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability/issues/new/choose

Can't help but also bring up a social dynamic between our product testers and devs. I engage in a similar behavior but I'm uncomfortable with the social implications of this dynamic. Definitely a line between engagement with devs/bug reports and co-opting a thread for your own motives, but at least I haven't found where that lies. All I can do is just focus on being courteous with my feedback and suggestions, even if potentially intrusive. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqsyd3vqfek0uwtcyz8jmetucgqe0vx462qafcqgpyryx9gy488ez8cf7kf83

Some developers don't like bug reports and find testers irritating. That's not news to anyone who has worked as a tester. Testers will go where they are wanted. And they will then promote those devs to others.
