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 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.

Yeah, I had DMed him a minor quality of life issue that I wanted to see if he was aware of or could potentially change. I feel bad to contribute to is apathy towards his app. I’m in TestFlight, is there a way to formally report an issue? At least that way his dms and mentions won’t be spammed with negative things.

Make a screenshot, open it, make any adjustments or edits, then press “done” and “share beta feedback”
Something like feedback.fish might be even easier for anyone to use. Plus, he’d have to log in to check so it’s not always popping up in the face.
Can you do that with videos? I had to use video instead of a screenshot
