Excellent feedback, thanks! Now here are some questions regarding the following feed:

To do the outbox model properly, Nostria needs to connect to each of your contacts relays and grab their latest notes. When you follow 200 people, this will take a lot of time and resources, and it wouldn't make sense to grab 5 notes from 200 users, you won't be able to read through that.

What type of algorithms would you prefer to have? Here are some that we suggest we should implement:

Most Visited: Profiles are automatically ranked based upon how often you've opened them.

Most Recent: Profiles are ranked on the date last opened theme.

So one algorithms would be to combine these two in a ranking, grab the top 10 or 20, and get the latest events from them.

The feed could be sorted in both directions, so "show me latest events from my least opened profiles".

A more advanced optimization algorithm would look at idle or active accounts and then use that to figure out which user to grab notes from.

Got more ideas?

I think that the most intuitive way is to sort all events from my following account in the chronological order and to show these events from the newest to the oldest, some events at one page with the option of pagination, or in the infinite feed. May be it is a good idea to visually highlight unread events.

Of course the following notes and articles should be shown in the single feed, if the user has no intention to separate these types of content (I think of the "note" format as a castrated "article" and would gladly eliminate the difference as far as possible).

Thanks for the feedback! Based upon your feedback, we started adding support for following and the first preview of the "algorithm", which runs locally and helps improve the experience of looking at your personal following feed.

To get new default feeds, just delete all existing feeds and reload Nostria. Or edit and change the second tab settings from "Public" to "Following".

The rendering of notes in feeds are not finished yet, there are no "load more" functionality either yet. Nostria plan to be feature complete at the end of August 👍
