Feature Request: optionally alerting users from any app when they've been followed #2576

Open thecurtic opened 2 hours ago

thecurtic commented 2 hours ago

Have a go at filling out the User Story template below

As a Damus user who is , I would like to ____, so that I achieve ___.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem is that when following another user of whom I'm in the physical presence, we are both stuck with scanning each other's QR codes to find each other on nostr.

When does this problem happen? Any time I try exchanging npubs in person

Describe the solution you'd like When I tap "follow" on a nostr profile using Damus, I'd like to see an option (tick box or otherwise) to send that user a DM from my user profile which tells them that I have followed them.

This gives them the option to follow back in the moment or at another time, which means they won't have to scan my QR code right then and there.

Describe alternatives you've considered No alternatives, but perhaps you have other ideas that may be even more efficient.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

After you have followed someone, have you considered sending them a DM from profile view?

Yes, but the problem is moreso that the app doesn't prompt the user to do this. I think it would smooth out the experience.

Perhaps 'notify me if someone follows me' https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/991 would be a better solution to your problem statement?

is it possible for damus to detect that reliably?
