tagging. typing a note out and trying to tag someone, then realizing you cannot, copying all of the entire note to an external app, visiting nostr.band to copy the npub, then going back to the note, pasting the npub in, and then finally completing the note in app to post it. sometimes you can get away with just copying the note text, visiting the in-app search, typing their name, visiting their profile, then going back to the note creation screen and tagging them correctly without having to visit nostr.band. tagging is still the hugest pain in the asshole 12 months later. we can't be social if we can't even mention the people we want to be social with.
Good one! Hunting out and using the npub is such a drag
Thanks for saying this. I truly felt it was something my mind could not figure out.
You're welcome. It's a major pain point for many people.
😂 I got used to it but now, reading it, sounds fucking crazy
Damus solved this so long ago I can’t even remember this experience.
You can tag everyone? Even someone you haven't seen active in a while?
As long as I follow them it’s mad easy, type @ then I start typing their displayed name “Derek” and all the Derek’s pop up, you’ve got a purple person icon with a check mark, click you, bam tagged. Keep writing note.
You are asking for a hellthread aren’t you 😆
In service to making Nostr better? Absolutely!
Yeah it looks for profiles in nostrdb, so it always has everything your client has ever seen
Haha definatley done this
