New to Nostr on Android. Do you use Amber, Citrine and Morganite for Nostr?

I just downloaded Amethyst to start using Nostr. While looking into setup guides and recommendations, I also came across Amber, Citrine, and Morganite.

Right now I’m wondering how people actually use these together in practice.

Do most of you just use Amethyst by itself and call it a day, or is it worth setting up the “full gem stack”?

Curious what setup you’re using and whether you think the extra apps are worth it.

yeah i use two (Amber & Citrine) morganite makes me curious, right now i use a specific blossom server

i think using amber is best practice (especially if you use other clients) and citrine is just so my data is a little backed up


i also have samiz installed (bluetooth nostr mesh) but i don't typically run it

I use all three. I figure why not. They're really quite easy to set up. Some apps also have a dedicated local relay section you can take a look at in settings.
