Nostr Web Client

It's more complexed than any mobile client I've used. Is there an option for spell checking? I only want to appear half retaded.

I have relays set, nPubs I follow, fonts bigger in the UI, and enough that I can function pretty well though. It took me almost a year to take the plunge into Gossip because of the complexity and not knowing all the technical lingo.

Spell checking! Brilliant idea. No.

Desktops having more screen real-estate lend themselves to having more complex UIs. A tool that you use a lot and know well should have a complex UI. A tool that you are new to should have a simple UI. The Ideal UI would get more complex as you used the tool. But I'm not a UI developer, I actually abhor UI development, so I had other people work on the UI as much as I could: nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk and nostr:npub1hlq93jdtkfg29a8s7fqzzzh82q3pkc20rxucwt4geh6e56wk3y2qxdz5wg . Now and then I meddled and messed up their plans so I take all the blame for UI problems, and they get all the praise for UI brilliance.

This maybe another dumb idea but I cannot highlight and select a given not text copy/paste it into a reply within the app. All in all Gossip is pretty cool and I'm glad I have another solution (probably more secure than mobile) rather than a mobile client.

You want to cut-and-paste images? I started on that but didn't complete it: https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/issues/995

Say I'm looking at your reply right in front of me as I am and I think you have some great information and was wondering if I could just select the specific text that I highlight and copy it. As of right now (I'm using an AppImage) I can highlight your text text but I have no option to copy or paste it. I even tried contol C/V with no wookie.

As an example: If I write a bang up post and want to save it to my offline notes I am unable to select my text and copy it. I can write something offline and control V it and it works.

As for pics, I have a totally different idea that I proposed to the code slinger of Damus and I found out that Primal was able to pull it off. If I can find my old note describing what my idea was I'll post it to you.

Are you using version 0.14? I think cut-and-paste works in 0.14. Maybe I'm wrong and it only started working later.... and if so I should release again.

Yes, currently on .14. Again it is the AppImage, not sure if that matters.
