I can help if somebody wants to refactor the code and take the lead on the iOS version, but I will not do it myself.

Here's why:
1. There are many good clients for iOS already. None of them is as good as Amethyst, but they don't need us.
2. Spending my time on iOS will take time away from Android, which my users will absolutely hate. It's akin to treason.
3. I believe iOS is incompatible with the decentralization goals of Nostr and people that trully care about decentralization should move away from it.
4. Vertical integration in the Android stack is what will make Amethyst a better app. The deeper we go, the better it gets. You can't go very deep when you abstract the operating system/hardware away. Besides, we are native. Web apps are better suited for a horizontal deployment.
5. If we trully want decentralization, it doesn't make much sense for a single project to try to take over in all platforms. Let other people focus on those platforms.

Anyway, My main goal is to create the best Nostr experience on an Android. Any time spent outside this goal is a distraction.
