Which apps support the new image kind?
Olas
Amethyst
Nostur
Nostrudel
Ditto
Jumble
Chachi
These apps will either let you post the new image kind, view them in the main feed, have a dedicated images feed, or profile galleries to display them.
#olas365 is a Nostr phenomenon!
There’s a lot of compression on the images from what I noticed
That would be client dependent.
Gotcha so Olas is doing quite a bit of that
Pablo is running imgproxy for Olas. It makes sense to compress images though. Otherwise, you end up going through 10GB of mobile data in 5 days and using up your entire month of January 2023's data plan because nothing on Nostr was compressed.

Ooo…I didn’t know that. Makes sense.
But I say let them eat cake. Or at least give people a compressed/original toggle with original as the default. Don’t we want people to experience Nostr image feeds for the first time and say “holy macaroni, this is way higher quality than $legacyplatform!”?
It's a nice option to have. Amethyst allows you to choose from several different compression levels when you upload an image. But we also get into UX issues too. Should users as be presented with an option to buy a storage package? High quality image storage isn't free.
I see what you’re saying. I’m a fan of presenting the user with that info and options during initial setup, but that might be too much friction for the average Instagram normie. Would probably also run into “hey, I thought this Nostr thing was supposed to be FrEeEeE?!”
That's exactly the response they'd have. This is probably best in an advanced setting.
I am planning on writing some user guides for Olas for non-technical people and have a section already for Blossom servers, running your own, paid ,etc. but I did not think about mentioning a benefit to running your own would be to dictate the image quality that you'd like to use.
I was pondering making a short video on Nostr for Instagram-ers, but I think I might wait for Olas to hit the iOS app store first.
I’d wait. I have a bunch of things planned too, but it’s not ready yet. Olas needs to be essentially bug free first and then the marketing campaigns will start. I don’t want people getting a bad first experience. I look forward to your video when things are a bit more polished. We all need to push this if we want it to succeed.
Ackchyually…
That is usually media server dependent. (Most of) the clients just yeet the media at them (Blossom, NIP-96, etc) and the media server decides whether to compress or resize. That’s why some hosts offer paid plans that include larger / uncompressed uploading.
Actually. It's both. Some clients run everything through their own image proxy service.
noogle
At least in the discover feed, because you know, the olas DVM.
I gotcha. Makes sense.
Step 1) build Olas DVM
Step 2) Check Olas feed on Amethyst. Nice.
Step 3) Check Olas feed on noogle. FML
Step 4) Add support for olas events on noogle. It's actually not that hard. Why don't they all add support for it?
Let the 🌊take me out.

I verified myself. Perhaps you need to be on a TestFlight build? I don't know if it hit main App Store yet.
We love the imagery 🖼️💜
What is the link to test Olas? It didn't show up in the Apple Store.
Olas is looking great. I just posted my first photo. Many more to come. Game on 📸
I have not try the amethyst , it's for android right ? and Nostrudel , ditto, jumble and cachi..so many things I haven't try. let me check that out
