The purple pilling package is nearly complete for those who enjoy sharing and consuming rich visual content.

After spending seven days documenting a vacation exclusively on Olas, a Nostr-powered Instagram alternative, it’s clear that Olas is on the right path. It offers a familiar experience for posting images, and its foundation on Nostr ensures it's decentralized and censorship-resistant, utilizing a user's relays and blossom servers.

This is already light years ahead of Meta's Instagram, but nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0dv4ph5 isn’t stopping there with Olas. Soon, users will have access to even more powerful and customizable feeds. Whether you prefer algorithmically curated content or feeds shaped by your communities, these options are on the horizon.

Olas is very new and very early, but the potential is there.

Disappointed, no thigh pics here

I had many opportunities. My bad.

Key West

Yep! My first time there. What a Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽπŸ«‚πŸοΈ

Glad you enjoyed brother, it’s beautiful there!

Is it available in iOS App Store yet? I’m not seeing it there.

Yes. TestFlight.

It's awesome, and I think there is something important missing: more privacy.

What if I don't want to share my photos with the whole world? Instagram allows this (even if it shares my pics to the NSA)

It’s coming in the shape of NIP-29 communities; you can just run a community that is closed and you invite only your close friends

Will the NSA still have access?

Awesome! Been waiting for something like this!

Hopefully you can recruit some decent photographers. Otherwise it’s just boomer Facebook all over again.

I'm quite surprised to see this post as I've tried using Olas many times over the past weeks but haven't managed to even log in using my key or bunker at all, let alone use it. I have given up on it for now and don't think it is ready even as an alpha release. I use a phone with more than decent specs so don't think that's the issue.

I'm excited! With today's update, Olas is usable now on my phone so I was able to make my first post today! πŸ₯‚

Didn't know it dropped... I'm off to the Zapstore! 🫑

Is it IOS only at the moment?

I'm Android, so...nope?

Ah mega. Thanks

This looks great to be fair.
