I have taken to manually typing the "nostr:" prefix for all Nostr URIs since it is far more consistently handled by various clients. Leave it off and you may or may not get the desired result, depending on the client.
That said, I think client devs should be better about recognizing and handling URIs that are missing the prefix. Can't really count on that, though.
Let’s test it. Linking to your nprofile on primal. nostr:nprofile1qqstwf6d9r37nqalwgxmfd9p9gclt3l0yc3jp5zuyhkfqjy6extz3jcvgx9xx
Here’s a linked article nostr:naddr1qqd5jmn5wfhkgatrd9hxwt2vdahxwen0wfkj6cm80pengagpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3q5ypxpg429uyjmp0zczuza902chuvvr4pn35wfzv8rx6cej4z8clqxpqqqp65w9zu5tz
Did ypu add the "nostr:" prefix manually? If not, whatever client you used added it for you.
Yeah did type it in manually. But an app I’m working on didn’t seem to work correctly across those 3 clients when doing quote post with the “nostr:” in them. I’ll do some more testing.
Hey, thanks for sharing my article. I’m still learning what the best practices are so let me know if you know of any good resources.
For example, I noticed in Primal when I copy the note ID, I get a string that begins with “nostr:nevent”; whereas in Damus, the string begins with “note1”. Which one is more preferable?
That’s a strange one. I believe in the nip specs it says to use “nostr:” so I think maybe Damus is incorrect in this case. But I’m sure they’re doing it that way for some reason.
Seems to be working better actually on primal Damus and yakihonne 🤷♂️
