How is trust indicated?

In more-speech you explicitly trust a user by right clicking on a note and choosing "Trust this author". This allows you to create a pet-name for the author and adds the author to the "trusted" tab.

The more-speech client treats trusting and "following" differently. You can follow anybody by simply adding them to a tab. Other clients make trusting and following synonymous. This is problematic because trusting is _public_. Everyone can know who you trust. Using more-speech, nobody knows who you follow.

Devs could learn a lot from studying this concept in more-speech. I have said for a long time, TRUST is not the same thing as FOLLOW. In more-speech I have a tab called WATCH... There I can read pub's notes for a while before adding them to my trust. Awesome work Bob.

Another thing that is outstanding is the control over relays that more-speech has. Very easy to turn them off and on, and immediately obvious that the switch works becuase every post includes the relay it was retrieved from. I do suggest that you make it so that one can copy the pub ID on a post without reading the whole json string. I know that truncating the npub was intentional , but for me I want to be able to copy it for other purposes.

I hope more people will join you in development of more-speech because there is incredible value in your client. It could use some UX help if there are devs that can take it up! Just yesterday I was reading the issues on git-hub and there was questions about the font size, a problem I have with it due to large monitor. I assume there is a way to complie it with larger fonts, but the issues replys look as though it is not consistent across all the different headers/tools/text/etc.

I am studying up on clojure but have little time on my hands, being a pleb living in a fiat world where my wages do not go so far.

Thanks Bob!

More control is coming. Managing and scheduling relays is a huge opportunity for really interesting features. Think about relay exploration for example, or user tracking over many relays, or relays that host specific event kinds.

You can copy the full npub of a user by right clicking the username in the note window. You can also copy the note id by right clicking the event id in the note window.

I've had a bit of help so far. I'd welcome more but I don't expect it because the code base has gotten large and I am very active in it.

Some of the fonts can be controlled by editing the private/user-configuration file. This file is read in at startup, not compiled; so you don't have to do a rebuild. More user configurations will be added to this file as time goes by, including more font and widget controls.

Clojure! It's worth the time and effort.
