This is from the same people who made Tweetoshi. Unable to search for it on Google Play but able to remotely download.

kudos to their team for the quick pivot from a twitter client, i think this was the right move… but a hard one to make after tweetoshi was already live.

The multiple shill accounts promoting the app here makes me wary to try it

The multiple shill accounts? I only saw one copied comment. What are you talking about?

Yeah I thought both comments were shills, but only one was a shill

It’s already better than Damus imho.
Search is quicker and more reliable. Quite often I search on Damus a valid npub and it finds no one 😔
Zaps are more intuitive in that the Plebstr app asks how much you want to send each time by default. Loading content is faster, and that stacks up each day. Threading of conversations is awesome, since it loads the prior conversation like we all expect from Twitter.
At the very least it’s a good complement to Damus. I love what Damus has built and I’m not knocking Will’s work, it’s just Plebstr is growing quicker and faster to become something else entirely. I believe because it has a larger team working on it.

It's good, really solid for a new app. The UX feels a little more Android-y than Damus, if that's something you care about.

One thing that I don't like is that it doesn't appear to be open source, and I don't appear to be able to use a proxy to see what traffic is being sent where (Damus is both open source and I can proxy the traffic). Granted, that could be for better security (e.g. if they're using certificate pinning)
If you care about privacy that might be a reason not to use it for now. Maybe someone from the team can chime in on this.

I'm not pasting my private key into a closed source client. Who knows what they are doing with it.

unless you compiled your open source client yourself you don't know what the "open source" client is doing with your key either. the compiled version from the app/play store can be different from the publicly released code and you would never know it.

Yes, hence the need also to proxy.
With both you can keep an eye out for any unusual looking identifiers being passed around, tie that back to the code and if not, ask questions in public.

Very true, although that is a more expensive attack to pull of successfully

Seems to be only on Google play for Android. Any ideas if the team will release an .apk or be able to find on Aurora Store?

my opinion, already superior to Damus.
Search is more efficient and trustworthy. I frequently look for a legitimate npub on Damus, but it never returns any results.
In contrast to the Plebstr app, which by default asks how much you want to transfer each time, Zaps are more user-friendly. The speed of content loading keeps getting better every day. Conversation threading is fantastic since it loads the previous chat as we have come to expect from Twitter.
It's at the very least a useful addition to Damus. I admire what Damus has created, and I don't criticize Will's efforts; it's just that Plebstr is evolving into something else totally at an increasingly rapid rate. I think this because a bigger crew is working on it.

Yeah this is the same reply basically as @davidw in another reply. This already makes me not want to try this app if they are willing to use shill accounts to promote it
