Why is it designed for iPad? Surely that's always going to be secondary to iPhone use

It works on iPad afaik but isn’t natively built for it. Also works on macOS.

Did you open the link on a Mac (or maybe desktop overall)?

If so I think it just prefers to show you if it is also optimized for iPad usage, because the usage on a mac would be closer to that.

Also, if you are interested in trying the many web clients, you could try Nostore: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ouPWAQAV

It’s a Safari extension that will store your keys and sign events for you, so you don’t need to enter them into every web page.

Disclaimer: I wrote it.

Agreed. Damus is great. Iris.to is probably the easiest to use web client.

> what Nostr can become.

A timeline of a single person (Damus) shouting into the void?

The search function can help you find accounts. Your timeline is generated from who you are following. Follow some people and it gets more interesting.

I missed the global function. After blocking a bunch of spammers it seems better.

Still seems like they generate new PK’s once in a while though, so it’s impossible to keep up.

I use global to find some posts of real people, then go through their profile and decide whether to follow or not.

Also https://nostr.directory helps me find people on Twitter in nostr.

Took a bit I’m happy with my normal feed now and use Global less and less.
