New Discover tab and Follow Packs on Amethyst Desktop. Thanks
for the UI inspiration https://npub12cfje6nl2nuxplcqfvhg7ljt89fmpj0n0fd24zxsukja5qm9wmtqd7y76c.blossom.band/84e2faec8ed3ff74e0143c4bf6580fb695c60c6067cabd4c0bf503e299388c6b.png

I don't think Nostr needs to be like Facebook at all. I think UX needs to reflect Nostr specific infra - like broadcasting to multiple relays, etc.. But that's the beauty of Nostr - you can use whichever client works for you.

One challenge with Nostr clients is set of features & navigation. How do you support multiple use-cases (browsing, researching, writing, etc...)

I feel like Amethyst should take a bolder stance on redefining UX standards. For ex. making all broadcast events more transparent, for ex: reaction broadcasts to show a "note like broadcast to x/n relays" snackbar with an expandable popup with the relays and broadcast status. Benefits IMO:
What do you think?

I don't know how I didn't know about
. It's my favorite way of interacting with the internet: sync, go offline, read and interact. And sync next time when I go online
PR with Threads and Notifications for Desktop: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/1663.
I've moved files around without the type alias reference hack. One q I'm having is how to share ViewModels properly. Feels like there's a lot to be shared, but part of it is platform specific. What do you think of introducing UseCases in the Domain layer? ViewModel becomes more dumb and just UI logic related. Maybe the Actions can already be considered domain layer components 🤔
The new LLMs are great, seems like Nov/Dec was an inflection point. My key takeaways:
Devil is in the details, but focus on spec, not code creation:
Think spec first. If you don't like the implementation you haven't defined requirements well enough. AI is now amazing at getting you from A to B. But B needs to be clearly defined

Fantastic read
. Although I'm convinced a lot of kids figure out the holes in the education system. The question remains what they do about it.
I've vibed together an MVP Amethyst desktop app. Tried to limit Android impact. PR is still large, but most is just reusing Android into a now KMP shared commons module - this is what I love about KMP, you can share UI components too, but still keep navigation or other platform specifics separate.

a quick FOSS win IMO is to make sure projects have a standardized doc + contribution guide for LLMs. Something that any platforms can feed on - for ex. Claude can easily convert to agents and skills. Maybe an llms.txt adjacent to README.md (latter should be concise but the first detailed with contribution guides, project goals, standards, etc..)

another house trade-off q for you - gas stove vs electric? Hate induction, but how does electric compare to burnt gas when it comes to health?

"In 1966 the US government (DARPA) tested the impact of radio frequency EMFs on the cognition of monkeys in a secret project called "Pandora"
The results were startling & covered up for decades.
They used the same frequency EMF your Wi-Fi and 5G phone use.
After 10hrs of exposure for 12 days..the monkey had a "slowdown in the ability to time work functions"
on the 13th day the monkey "further degraded, stopped working completely and appeared to be in a deep sleep"
they then gave the monkey 5 days of rest before irradiating it again and this time it took 8 days for slowdown to appear, 10 days for the animal to return to a deep sleep condition
they gave the monkey 5 days of rest once again, but then ended the study and at that point "the monkey had not returned to normal" according to the study report logs.
The intensity of the RF signal (2.4-4GHz) was 5mW/cm2, perfectly safe based on former and current safety thresholds."

HAVING A ZERO SUM MINDSET IS VERY LIMITING. WE SEE THIS WITH CLOSED SYSTEMS, BUT ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL AS WELL.
DON'T BE A SHEEP, BUT DO ADOPT AN ABUNDANCE MINDSET
would be interesting to try to backport NDK to Kotlin Multiplatform leveraging the Kotlin/JS IR compiler
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-ir-compiler.html
we need more Kotlin Multiplatform libs here
Kotlin Multiplatform solves all of the above:

life is just a vehicle to become your best self
"don't do" lists are very powerful. For ex. if your resolution is more focus "new me undivided focus" needs to be paired with "new me doesn't let himself get distracted by social media".
Why? Your mind will always look for a couple examples and jump to conclusions. While both can be through in a given day - you had undivided focus for 1h, but then was lost for 2h scrolling
The average person should not drive either
