Been trying a few different browser based nostr clients for direct message handling
satellite.earth - direct messages are slow, and dont support rendering line feeds
coracle.social - very very very slow on my development laptop (8gb ram, amd phenom 2 triple core) from loading the universe.
primal.net - decent, but only renders first image in a DM, doesnt recognize lightning invoice payment request strings
How does Snort compare to the field here?
i cant even load snort.social on my laptop right now.
finally got it to come up after a few hard refreshes.
Direct messages are good in it
- responsive
- shows multiple images per message
- understands lightning invoices
Something it doesnt recognize is npubs in a message to link to that account.
Always working to improve performance on Coracle, what kind of slowness? UI jank, slow note loading, etc? Also, what browser are you using?
Using Firefox. Took nearly a minute for first load and seems to then start loading events in chronological order as it took some time before newer DM senders and messages appeared.
Thanks, I'll take a look at firefox! I could probably improve DM loading with windowing. Coracle is unfortunately getting heavier as I add more features. I have been thinking about adding a low data mode, could be interesting.
i would be super stoked to see a zero javascript view.
Not going to happen in Coracle, that's for sure, but so would I. Also a highly accessible one. With nostr you can build different clients for different audiences!
there was a time when some of the silos had open apis but then they all clammed up and man does it ever get boring the faddish ways they do things one week to the next.
About dms, maybe only load dms from the last 10 days by default? Then press "older" for more. I frequently wait for reloads of old dms from 2022, on all clients. Maybe that shouldn't be default :)
Coracle looks really great other then the performance issues i run into with my setup. it does make me wonder if there are low bandwidth / low resource focused clients out there
I'd be interested in snort metrics. they have seemingly been doing performance work recently because it is way faster for me than it used to be
