Nostr Web Client

i love nostr and i remain incredibly bullish on nostr, however these are the apps that i use daily that cause me frustrations. when i said this morning that i go from bullish to frustrated and back, these are the reasons:

nostrudel - i have to refresh or reload the app often to get profile names and photos to display. sometimes new notes don't load and i have to refresh or reload to display them.

chachi - chats just don't load most of the time. i have to nuke local storage and reload and refresh constantly to get new chat messages to display. this is tedious.

olas - i haven't used olas since the last update. i can't upload images. the images upload blank or never finish publishing. even the feed is inconsistent showing me mostly my images instead of images from people i follow.

pokey - mute thread is not consistent. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

citrine - no new events get published. i've been at 207,513 events for months. i think this happened whenever i tried to import all of my events from all of my relays. whenever i open citrine there's a notification that it's exporting events, but that never finishes. i think i need to cut my losses and my local data and nuke and start from scratch, but then ill lose all of my local data :(

wavlake - a popup window for amber is displayed every single song that i listen, because it's trying to set a status for the song im listening to. this continues even if you attempt to remember or save the setting.

primal - my NWC somehow stops working. i can generate a new string and apply it and have zaps work for a few days, but eventually it will stop working and ill have to disconnect and regenerate new NWC strings.

fountain - i just don't boost as often as i'd like, because having a separate wallet balance makes boosting harder. NWC is coming to fountain though. that will resolve this.

---

honestly the most stable and consistent apps that i use daily are #0xchat, #Amethyst and #Notedeck (jumble.social is great too, i just don't use it that often.)

---

looking at the larger picture, these are not showstopping issues, but mere annoyances along a bumpy path forward. and that's where we are moving. forward.

keep building.

Yakihonne is actually one of the best Nostr apps that we have across the ecosystem.

Better than Amy? 🤔

Amy will always be my favorite girl.

It really is a very well designed client with a ton of awesome features. Their long-form article editor and presentation is particularly excellent. I think it's the best long-form app in the whole ecosystem, even better than Habla. It essentially markets your articles to users based on their preferences, so you get really good exposure and discoverability.

On top of all that it's just a beautiful client app. They put a lot of thought into the UX, and it shows. In terms of usage, I believe they're a secondary player compared to Amethyst and Primal. But I think that's going to change as more and more people give it a shot and see for themselves just how good Nostr can be. I wish the YakiHonne team all the best. I'm rooting for them!

Yakihonne is great for onboarding too, with their built in wallet.

And tons of wallet options, too! You can use their built-in wallet, or connect your external wallet via NWC.
