 Damus Notedeck Alpha is out now for Damus purple subscribers!

What sets notedeck apart?

1. Lightning fast

Built from the ground up with an ultra-fast database made exclusively for nostr, leveraging several state-of-the-art performance techniques not available on web clients

2. Custom feeds

Add timeline, hashtag, and notification columns of any nostr public key. Which means you can see the nostr landscape through other peoples' eyes

3. Account switching!

And this is just the beginning.

Want to learn more? Check out this quick video that explains why we're building this and what to expect in the future.

 protip: If you are seeing spam in your notifications, you can enable this option which hides notifications from those who are not friends or friend-of-friends. Its a bit subtle so you might have missed it 😅 https://image.nostr.build/c27cbdbcec5ca6680b796e53fef0c02ef94ae76c36616c4e2728488ec537afc8.jpg  
 this is entirely @jb55 ‘s fault with his terrible design skills. @rob will save the day i’m sure

 hello there

 Good Day new and seasoned Nostriches! We are excited to see new people  here trying to navigate a strange new world. Question from our head of market research #damoose….#introductions are great: they get folks onboarded by meeting new people through making their first “note”…but what do we do after that? What should we do with the #introductions hashtag to encourage retention of these awesome new freedom fighters? #asknostr https://image.nostr.build/e75375dd032e7dc616377ab6ea97df520e7c57a2e4d64ff1d63504e07714686a.png  
 When platforms start to fall, protocols will remain. you can’t arrest email, http, or nostr.

X, telegram, rumble, *can’t* have free speech in a world where governments can compel to censor by threat of imprisonment.

The world may realize they need nostr sooner than they thought. https://image.nostr.build/1a5d6409a896956801ef8bee6720600b91bf92d7893b9ae844eb88e5d2c0f495.jpg

 For anyone who hasn’t tried our new App Store release yet, check it out! 1.9 is here and we’ve already received some much appreciated feedback. One of our incredible devs @danieldaquino will show you a whole new way of interacting, with improved threads and emojis. Can’t wait to hear what you think! * Slight update to the video: Emoji search only works in English for now. https://cdn.jb55.com/s/1.9-release-announcement.mp4. 
 Damoose is doing some more market research. What would ya’ll want to see with search on #nostr? 

We’ve reviewed the traditional platforms and they’ve all got different was of doing it. 

Currently on Damus you can search via the home tab by keywords and on the universe feed by hashtags. 

We want to improve/streamline the design and welcome your feedback! #asknostr https://image.nostr.build/e75375dd032e7dc616377ab6ea97df520e7c57a2e4d64ff1d63504e07714686a.png  
 Thank you! 
 Noted! Thanks for the feedback! 
 You can currently hide notes with #nsfw tags in settings, but are you thinking even more detailed filters on this? 
 Thank you great feedback!

 We're pushing a new appstore version to fix a crash affecting some users. Sorry about that! I guess if you're experiencing the crash you won't see this message ;_;

 sounds like it might have been a crash? :( let us know if it happens every time 
 Damus does not have a build-in wallet, we rely on third party wallets that you can connect to. This gives users the flexibility to use a preferred wallet or even their own that they run at home.

Alby is the most common wallet to connect to!

If you are outside the US, you can even use Wallet of Satoshi by putting your wallet of satoshi lightning address in your profile without even attaching a wallet. 

This will allow you to receive bitcoin directly into wallet of satoshi. Any lightning wallet that supports lightning addresses are compatible with Damus.

If this is too complicated, there are some nostr clients that have a built-in wallet if this feature is important to you and you don't want the hassle.

 damus still struggles tagging people with spaces in the name, since we use space to get out of tagging. Profile search is a workaround until we have a fix, but you have to copy and paste the npub from there which is annoying. 
 To celebrate the start of summer, our Damus tank tops are 15% off! Support freedom tech and look cool at the same time! Show off those 100 push up gains! 💪 https://store.damus.io. https://image.nostr.build/06210781a7e1a5d0a71ba02c51ce46a417df9b3b8183141ffa0e19d3f2ffcf21.png https://image.nostr.build/120c5508ec9beeb812ced51221c77da449138219017e2658f536bb1e1c644a42.png 
 Today we’re trying something new to make threads suck less. We’ve just released a new experiment on the Damus Purple Testflight, here’s a quick video on the new chat threads feature and how it works!

If you aren’t on the purple TestFlight yet, you can get the link here after becoming a purple member: https://damus.io/purple/login

Let us know what you think!

 Give it a second, we’re pushing it now 
 Assistant market researcher Damoose is checking in on this experiment. Did you try replacing reposts with quote-reposts? How did it change your experience? Would you be interested in having the option to remove reposts entirely? #onlyquotes? 🤔 https://image.nostr.build/13cad3e390ed315022e99e404a8496a0e904533509cccfa504ed0b717a9671a5.jpg  nostr:note1j2wfxmttm69khnvtadzzzpu0zynavw0valqxwd7934n4mtrwy62qdxuhgd

 You can search for keywords on the main feed currently. Let us know if that helps! 
 Damus Labs has been running a wild experiment for Purple TestFlight and we want to hear what you think! What if threads were more like chats? It’s wild, it’s crazy, it might be a horrible idea, but you know you want to try it!

Experience it soon with http://damus.io/purple 👀 https://image.nostr.build/a762d27fcedd825bb5a14c3de2d97c4d0d5d139cd406bd430354a1fa4495b187.jpg  
 freedom isn’t free 
 Our head of market research Damoose has a challenge for you. What if you try quote re-posting instead of just re-posting this weekend? Let us know how this affects your experience! https://image.nostr.build/87d1206b12ab6c67ddd358e1292577cef8bee78c82e7d683d171d84479d1e411.jpg  
 We summarized the “how do you use #nostr notes” and here is the rundown! Steak pics, podcasts, music, scheduling, social, testing, nests, free speech, posting, pictures, dogs, community, content creation, streaming, no censorship, freedom tech, damoose, memes, zapping, catstr, news, weird things, cyberpunk, shitposting…and here is what AI came up with. #asknostr

Which one do you like best? Or can someone can do better? https://image.nostr.build/74611dd4d9f3a5a5a2b05b135ad8e530ea949ce63b39f314a73f6e2bc63de951.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3131497d98206329973aa24343edef6f74fd838af6b965ba9aeead949850e074.jpg https://image.nostr.build/93179744b4f30a72bf580dfc2b871cbaedd59256389f6589239e8cd3b07dfaad.jpg https://image.nostr.build/21d2e861e5536f1c381b91ede368670bd6f654aa916ce2f589c38745e798b9bd.jpg
