Your feedback is legit. Unfortunately the app has to initially cater to the early adopters of Ethereum, but making Ethereum and Dapps approachable is the #1 goal of this project. I will be spending a lot of time on further simplifying the UI/UX of the app and the what you see on the website. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.


Sounds good. I would actually recommend just a literal glossary/"here's what all this stuff means if you're seeing it for the first time".


It would help if you define "Dapp" and give a few examples of "Dapps" that people might get value from.


An app whose data store is block chain based, as opposed to AWS infrastructure owned by whoever.

Decentralized App.


You seem to be the author. Can you explain why I would want to use this?


Are you running the light Geth client on the device?


Thanks! It should be available on every store except China (Apple didn't allow). Search for "Cipher Ethereum".


That worked. Strange, normally links as on your FP redirect to the right app store (region).



Status is still unreleased and supports testnet only whereas Cipher is available on both iOS and Android stores and supports Ethereum Mainnet. Cipher is also primarily a Dapp Browser before anything else, and we try to be compatible with as many Web 3 Dapps as possible and implement the latest enhancements to Web 3 API as quickly as possible. (e.g. https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/712 - eth_signTypedData)

I gotta say Status is a very cool project though (and really well-funded too and I own some SNT tokens as well) and I really appreciate all the work they are doing with Whisper protocol.


Now that it is available on both iOS and Android app stores, we will be open-sourcing a lot of code in the coming weeks - this is one of them: http://github.com/petejkim/wallet.ts


In case anyone else is looking for the Android store link which isn't super easy to find, here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cipherbrow...

(Worth adding to the homepage, btw.)


A similar bug (not as serious) is happening on macOS: https://robservatory.com/month-13-is-out-of-bounds/


Battery life mostly


I thought more cores running slower was supposed to be more power efficient?


Korean alphabet, not language.


We had an Atom plugin called Nitrogen that did file sync, remote terminal, and app preview.

Most of our users preferred the in-browser experience though...


Things like this make me appreciate Hangul(한글) more and more. It isn't immediately obvious to me how I can enter basic characters like "国". (I still can't figure it out.)


because you're using the simplified version.

the traditional version of that character is: 國

type "F" for 囗, and "z" for 戈, if you were using cangjie you'd have to add the extra "口" and "一" but i'm guessing this system proposes that 國 is just 囗 + 戈 because that's good enough to identify what you're going for.

edit: the problem seems to be you need to switch to simplified. "F-q-g-e" got me the character.


but some simplified characters are encoded (like 号). I also can't type words like 回 (which is weirdly not FF)


It's Ff (capital F, lowercase F). Don't know why there's a difference between big and small 口, though.


Ah, so 国 is Fqg


Couldn't figure it out either. I went as far as 玉 with Q-G-E. I would have assumed that the box around was "F" but that didn't work.
