Quit publishing drafts to nostr about amethyst HOT 7 OPEN

It's coming. We are making a new relay screen to specify which events go where.

from amethyst.

I don't want these to go anywhere. I don't want drafts at all.

Sure, then you would just not put any relay to save them.

You can also reject the event in amber

I'll go ahead and leverage this open issue to mention a potential UI working for drafts:

I believe reddit handles them this way (but potentially just third-party reddit clients). Upon exiting a "message in progress" would be a prompt: "Save as draft?" with the options "Discard" in grey and "Save Draft" in Amethyst purple.

Might already be in the works or have other plans for it, but in any case, cheers 🍻

Love the idea of having a relay just for drafts

from amethyst.

Our first idea was to be like Gmail and save encrypted drafts for everything, all the time, and don't bother anyone with popups. Then a search can always bring those drafts back up. Then the local relay, say using Citrine on Android, can store it locally forever.

I like all of that, though in this case you are only "fighting" a pop-up if there has been text entered. It seems now I am fighting the automatically created drafts because I often type my responses halfway before changing my mind about responding at that time.

There is then the consideration of accidentally pressing discard. So I imagine this is why there is favor for always-drafts.

If it were a democratic vote, I would probably choose the popup as well as the encrypted drafts.

Imagining the two features combined probably leads to.. automatically decaying encrypted drafts..

This is summing up nicely. I think if the end result could look like this, we'd all mostly be pleased:

• Auto encrypted drafts to relay of choosing
• Auto expiry period for drafts (opt-in, default is forever? Personally would be decaying my drafts within 1 week or 1 month.)
• Opt-in option for draft publishing popup upon exiting a drafted response.

Just my 2¢

Stay awesome Vitor. Thanks for the response.
