Replying to Avatar fiatjaf

Today I am releasing "narr", a lightweight RSS and Nostr longform reader for the desktop: https://github.com/fiatjaf/narr

It supports all sorts of RSS feed discovery from HTTP URLs and renders them beautifully in a simple straightforward interface, you can also paste nostr:... URIs, including nip05, npub and nprofile codes (they should also work without the nostr: prefix).

If you install narr and use it in the next 2 hours you'll be entitled to our special bonus offer: you'll get one free complaint and one free feature request, which you can write as a reply to this note -- but only if you include a screenshot of your setup.

Awesome! I have no complaints, just a bug report: Footnotes don't seem to render for NIP-23 posts. But it's also possible that you hate footnotes and you'll never implement support for them in that case that's cool too.

Another proof that Markdown is a mess.

"Just use a Markdown library", they said.

I have many of these type of links 😅

Markdown is the shitcoin of markups.

Or "the shitcoins", actually, since there are like 50 million forks.

And I hate that I can't resize images dynamically, in Markdown. Too lazy to do it before uploading.

And the wrongly-numbered ordered lists! 😭

And it's soooo nice because the footnote data is written right next to the anchor. Much easier to write and proof.

Fixed this in the latest release, but there is no migration, you'll have to delete the feed and add it again.
