Quit publishing drafts to nostr #848

Open TonyGiorgio opened 6 months ago

TonyGiorgio commented 6 months ago

It's annoying, I don't consent to it, I don't wish for these to be broadcasted. How can I turn it off?

vitorpamplona commented 6 months ago

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

TonyGiorgio commented 6 months ago

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

vitorpamplona commented 6 months ago

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

vitorpamplona commented 6 months ago

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:

Just my 2¢

Stay awesome Vitor. Thanks for the response.

The problem here is a lot broader than this specific issue. My concern is that you seem to think that the issue is fixed merely by planning to offer options in the future. The deeper issue is that you just released this with no recourse for those who would feel violated by it (because I was never told this was happening nor could I stop it if I was informed).

The actual fix is a change in the Amethyst culture, ethics, and update model. The draft feature as it was released should have either been pushed to a development/nightly/testing/etc app, pushed only once all settings were available, or at a minimum shipped in a disabled state so users like me weren't just having notes broadcasted that we didn't know were being broadcasted.

My biggest problem is that I have lost all trust for the software because I will always wonder if you've done something like this again when I click update. It's not enough that you release things like this with the intention of respecting users at some future point. You violated us with this and don't seem to understand that. THAT is the issue here.

You indeed didn't bother me with a popup, but that's only true because you didn't bother to tell me at all that what I thought were private thoughts (that I chose not to share) were actually being broadcasted to relays without my explicit consent. A 'Save as Draft' button would have at least alerted me indirectly, but you instead tied it secretly to the exit button without me having any way of knowing that a draft was being saved in the background. I only discovered this by accident when digging in the settings for something completely unrelated. Not seeing the issue with this is what concerns me the most.

An actual fix is acknowledging the broader issue and committing to a development policy that prevents similar issues from happening again. Obviously, you can take that advise or not. But I was a deeply committed user and supporter who now isn't, for whatever that's worth. I hope changes are made so I can go back to Amethyst.
