#9 🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases
==================================
1. Coracle - 0.6.18
Coracle is a web-based Nostr client that explores what makes Nostr unique, offering advanced relay selection, web-of-trust moderation, privacy protection, and content recommendations. In this version, Coracle improves UX with a tooltip on the Bunker login QR code, fixes initial note creation bugs, improves NIP-05 validation, and allows viewing of raw profile JSON. These updates refine the experience for privacy-conscious users who value fine-grained control over their Nostr interactions.

2. Yana - v0.17.0
Yana (Yet Another Nostr Application) is a multi-platform, community-driven Nostr client designed for better performance on older devices and built around a true FOSS spirit. In this version, Yana introduces a new Wallet app flavor, Blossom media server management, and a modern video player with autoplay settings. It also brings a new drawer design, faster QR scanner performance, and improved handling of pending/failed payments. These updates make Yana more media-friendly, wallet-aware, and smooth across devices, while staying lightweight and open for contributors.

3. Flotilla - 1.2.0
Flotilla is a Discord-like Nostr client built around the concept of “relays as groups,” making decentralized group chat intuitive and structured. In v1.2.0, Flotilla adds push notifications on all platforms, a “mark all as read” feature for desktop, and a redesigned space dashboard for better navigation. It also fixes issues with thread comment sorting, link display, and profile protection, while improving notifier authentication by switching from Bunker URLs to relay claims. These updates enhance usability and real-time communication in group-centric Nostr spaces.

4. Runstr - v0.5.2
Runstr is a fitness tracking app built on Nostr, blending workouts with social features and decentralized identity. In this version, Runstr adds major upgrades for cyclists: real-time 1-second update frequency, intelligent stationary detection, and smoothed speed tracking for more accurate feedback. The League system now supports activity-specific leaderboards, and a new auto-posting feature lets users automatically share workouts as kind 1301 events, with full user control. This update refines the experience for runners, cyclists, and walkers alike in the open Nostr fitness world.

5. Pokey - v0.2.4-beta
Pokey is a Nostr notification tool that displays live alerts for your events and allows other apps to receive and interact with them, bringing real-time awareness to the Nostr ecosystem. In this release, Pokey introduces a new Mute List view, giving users better control over which profiles trigger notifications. This update enhances user control and personalization, making Pokey even more effective as a decentralized notification hub. This is the latest release, and there was the release of v0.2.3-beta also last week.

#10 🎁 Developer Tools, Updates and Releases
===========================================
1. Dart Nostr Development Kit (NDK) - v0.4.1
NDK (Nostr Development Kit) is a Dart library that streamlines the development of Nostr apps by providing robust tools for relay communication and protocol handling. In this release, NDK adds support for new NIP-51 event kinds, introduces a timeout parameter for Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), and includes missing delete functions. It also improves connection logic by preventing JIT engines from overconnecting to low-value relays and fixing relay reconnection issues. These updates enhance reliability, control, and developer flexibility when building Nostr apps in Dart.
