 I don't fancy Coracle's interface but indeed it is relatively solid. Previously would just be using Primal but now is too unreliable.

Using amethyst is OK for me. Just wish I could select one default emoticon for "likes". Still have to double click to like something. 
 
 It took me 8 tries, including stopping and starting the app, and clearing the cache, before I could get my relay settings to stick. And then it started crashing, about a week later, for no apparent reason. Some performance issue, I suspect, otherwise it wouldn't be effected by time. I suspect Amethyst is just too resource-heavy for my phone, even in low-data mode.

Also, anything using the Amber signer is going to be iffy. I have so many different npubs in use, and my phone is so slow, that it goes nuts on me.

Adding local relays is a non-starter in most clients, as well. They usually insist on wss:// prefix. 
 Coracle doesn't seem to like the Firefox+Nos2x-fox combination. Something about the way they do permissions causes the permission requests to repeat over and over. I have the same issue with Yakihonne, that's why I've never been able to login.

It runs relatively smoothly in Chrome with Nostr Connect extension, but is refusing my local relay. 
 One thing, that I find confusing, on Coracle, is the way the profile view isn't a timeline. That's the only page that really needs a chronological feed, IMO. 
 Seems to be this, but I don't know enough about the language to remove it. Can apparently only use "shareable relays", no private relays.

import {isShareableRelayUrl} from "@welshman/util" 
 Okay, it's already an open issue.
