Nostr Web Client

Odd, that shows a crash from 279 to 1 earlier this month. Restored it.

But, why would that happen?

I'm honestly not sure. It seems to only ever happen to people who use multiple clients, so clearly one is overwriting the record of the other. Though why it would go from 100s of followings down to 1 is still puzzling to me.

I would think, for instance, that if one client was aware of 200 followings and you followed a new person in a 2nd client that the 1st client would just overwrite the record with the 200 it was aware of and you'd lose the 1 new following.

Why do all the followings get removed for some people? I don't know.

Damn. Because I mainly use Nostrgram, but sometimes it throws wobblies (like right now I'm on Snort because NG keeps dropping) and, well, Snort seems better at staying connected.

Oh well, it's still all Alpha...

Can you be more specific about what you mean when you say it "throws wobblies" (love that phrase btw lol). What kinds of things are you experiencing? If I can understand it I might be able to fix it.

First sign is that a note gets stuck sending, then "connecting" and we're back to logging in again.

Also, often I'll see something about not happening within 5 seconds and it's an error.

To be fair this is usually (but not always) when I'm stress testing Nostr on a sub 1MB mobile connection from my boat out in the sticks.

Nostrgram is the best client for properly sized screens

Posted from my boat, with Snort because I've just been dumped out of Nostrgram :-)

Ah gotcha. Yeah if you're out in the wild NostrGram isn't your best client for sure. I'm working on improving the reconnection code so it picks up where it left off without you having to press a button again, but it's mostly been designed for desktop and big screens so some significant refactoring is involved. Thanks for the feedback!

FYI I use a laptop on the boat. Dongle internet.

Mobiles are far talking on, and maps, obvs :-) Screens are too small for anything else. But clearly, thats just me :-(

Thank you! 💯 I hate doing anything on the phone. I've made NostrGram mobile-friendly for the times I'm away, but doing any serious interaction on a phone makes me ill. But then I'm 46 so old enough to remember the days without any device at all, let alone a handheld supercomputer.
