Testing a new interface.

It's truly weird that I'm reading about builders having a mid-life crisis in a vibe-coded app that summarizes their sentiment better than they can.

It's funny how we all have this AI power to build things and everybody is just recreating the same screens over and over again.

Zero UX, UI creativity these days.

Every time I think I control Claude

Amethyst arriving in your desktop https://nostr.download/2ba65f0af7276552aecb78c7cdf3a7068fbf6cf73ea362a3902cf42512bdc5a0.mp4

There was 35 Amethyst installs from Orchard's FlatPak Store alone in 2 days? Who are you? This is awesome. ZapStore for Linux is coming hot!

You can't plant passion fruit in the north east, they say... It's too cold, they say.. shut up.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why AI valuations are through the roof. Once you are in, you can't go back.

I now trust my agent more than any other dev out there.

And it's not even close.

I question if we still need software to be distributed at all. Most people are remaking things form scratch anyway. The idea that I would use a piece of software that my agent didn't make is weird now.

Folks testing Amethyst Desktop, please send me anything that looks or feels ugly in your system as a screenshot. It's likely that I am not seeing what you are seeing, so screenshots really help.

Live on ZapStore and Flatpak on Orchard.

Claude says it finished everything.

We spent 20 years developing social networks, and we overcorrected into ads. We are going to spend the next 20 years developing digital isolationism (e.g., talk only to your agents all day long).

Finally got around to building a little thank-you page for all of our 5,012 public supporters. Every sat counts. Thank you all! https://amethyst.social/thanks

Updated our website to get rid of all the BS: https://amethyst.social/

Is this the minimal phone everyone was asking for? 😅

I need some cool screenshots of Amethyst Desktop running on Gnome and Kde for flathub.

MacOS, Linux and Windows versions available. ZapStore updated, Google Play in 5 days, F-droid in up to 2 weeks.

I made the mistake of buying $5 dollars worth of AI credits just to finish a task today, since my limits were up.

The $5 wasn't even enough to ONE prompt.

I feel like I got scammed.

I should have done this desktop version a long time ago. Agents have so much trouble testing on Android emulators. It's so much easier to test on the JVM.

It's finally getting ready. Full Amethyst running on the Desktop.

relay.damus.io is the least predictable relay we tested. It enforces a per-IP read budget: after a few quick requests its pages shrink to a handful of events, and a walk that runs right after another on the same connection can come back short (91 events, then 38, for the same filter). Paced, it still completes; a 5,000-event walk finished in 19 requests. Sometimes it says so (CLOSED "read bandwidth budget exhausted … (retry in 30ms)", or HTTP 503 at connect), but the shrinking pages and its tag searches give no signal. A #p search with no kinds returned only the newest 27 events over 60 days. Over an older slice, the same search with kinds 1 and 7 returned 253, and with limit: 500 (its own published max_limit) it returned nothing. A walk can’t tell that apart from a genuinely small result. Its NIP-11 publishes max_limit 500 and max_subscriptions 200, but not the read budget or the tag-scan behaviour, so those are limits we can’t plan around.
