Damus really needs the ability to mute threads. The app is becoming useless with all these huge stupid notes with hundreds of tags. I’m missing lots of important notifications. (and before anyone says, ‘but app xxxx has this feature’, yes, I know, I’m talking specifically about Damus here, thank you for your concern)

Hopefully it’s on the next update 🤞🏾
I’m hoping for that too!

#[2] is taking a well deserved vacation with his family so i’m sure we’ll see lots of good Damus progress when he’s back.

luckily that stupid mega thread is already quiet.. but I'm surprised with all people replying to all when they know that message will bump notifications to thousands of people
Eternal @Eternal - 2y
Damn I wish o had that issue
There’s a new mega thread now, maybe you’re lucky and don’t have your name tagged there. It’s like the previous one, but even bigger. I think trolls keep replying or reacting to it just to cause problems…
then I'm lucky I didn't get tagged to that one :).. but don't tell.. I don't want anybody to know haha

The entirety of my mentions every time I open the app is people complaining about damus. Finding myself not wanting to open the app as much these days. I have been working 24/7 since December and even pushed an update in the air on the way to CR. Reminder I’m not making any money on this app and its still a passion project is slowly bankrupting me. Sorry if I’m not working hard enough 😕

That's not fair, not at all. Delegate some of the work to friends or users who do care. The vast majority of us are developers at this point, and I think there are plenty of things you could ask for help with. I've worked alone on a massive, almost legacy, project before... it was the longest and fastest year of my life. I did so because of loyalty to the Founder who'd lost his way. The best thing I did was ask for help. Really.

You’ve been doing incredible things, working way more than I’ve seen most people. I hope my bug reports didn’t contribute to this feeling but I suspect they did, sorry :( you deserve everything and more.

The progress on #[5] has been amazing. We are really grateful. Don’t worry about the critics, enjoy yourself, have fun and recharge your soul. 😁👍🏻☀️🏖️

The app is awesome, there is always a million more features to add. It will take time. Users will always be impatient. Take a well deserved vacation, and don’t burn out. Monetization will come, but leave it to think about after some rest. Pretty people would be happy to pay a basic subscription to start, until some more interesting model idea comes.

Will as a fellow dev I have to say you are an inspiration. Your dedication and conviction to pursuit a passion project of this magnitude is admirable. Please know that the quiet majority truly appreciate all you do. 🫂

Can we all take a moment and zap @jb55? Dude is a legend, and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. Will, you’re amazing. Keep up the great work. 🤙⚡️🧡 #[0]
Will, you’re appreciated more than you know. Thank you so much for all you do. 🙏🏻

Like walking into a restaurant with your family, eating a 5-courses dinner with wine for free, and then complaining to the managers that you wanted a cherry on your ice cream instead of a strawberry.

Don't get burned out. I'm on Android so I don't use Damus, but from what I've seen it is one of the best Nostr clients out there regardless of platform. There will always be complainers. Focus on the people with nice things to say and keep building the features that you feel are important and worthwhile. You clearly have an amazing head on your shoulders, but even the best heads need some rest. There is plenty of time for building, so always make sure to take time for yourself too.

I probably can’t imagine your notifications. A few Hellthreads cut my nostr usage, you’ve had worse for months! I’ve been here since you went all in December. Damus is 90% of my nostr and that’s largely because how well you’ve built it. You’re doing great 🤙
Anyone posting positive vibes to #[1] gets zaps from me. He deserves a world of credit for what he's built so far. I've watched his coding streams and he's extremely talented. This community can't be burning out its best and brightest. #[0]
#[0] It’s true, nostr is powered entirely by passion. Developers are often pouring their hearts and souls into coding practically every day AFTER a full day at work. It’s incredibly taxing and often at the expense of other things like family time or work performance. A good reminder to be grateful for what we have already. Perhaps a more formal feature request and bug reporting channels for non-devs would also help in not voicing issues with clients.

Even though I'm majorily using another client, yours was one of the first to introduce me to nostr... For that, I'll forever be indebted, and it'll always have a special place in my heart... Never feel like you're obligated to provide something (for free nonetheless)... Keep doing you, and THANK YOU

Bro, I'm a coder and I know how hard it is to ship stuff. You're a beast, you made a top app in no time. Enjoy your time with your family, ignore the hate, huge amounts of ppl are using your app and are greatful.
e81ca - 2y
Don't pay attention to people like that. They don't have a technical background and don't realize how much hard efforts go into app creation. I do troubleshooting for an app that is used by huge businesses, and even it has trouble. No app will ever be perfect. But I think you are doing a great job #[5] , just ignore them and be confident in your skills and knowledge.

sorry will. mental health is so important. i don't even use damus but i don't have to to know how important you are to this community. good on you. enjoy your well deserved vacation. hope to see you back here again when the time is right, rockstar. 🤙🏻💜

Louferlou @Louferlou - 2y
I don’t think bug reports are a problem, they certainly are useful for Will and any devs in general. It’s rather how you report them I suspect. People complaining of a free service developed by people who don’t make any money on it are not helping anything.

I don't use damus, I'm on Amethyst, but from what I can tell, a lot more effort has gone into Damus as a whole, and it runs better than what I'm experiencing So I really don't get what people are complaining about? Idk, fuckem, thank you for your hard work, and I'm sorry people are assholes I'm currently learning how to work on things myself, so I don't have to complain about Amethyst, but can contribute instead 🫶🫂
