💎💎💎 New release

Coracle 0.4.5 is out! This release was over two months in the making, and includes a whole lot of small quality-of-life updates, as well as a complete re-write of relay selection and feed loading.

The flagship feature for this update though is CUSTOM FEEDS. One of the biggest promises of nostr has always been to "give control to the user". This is a huge idea, and while being theoretically possible, the tools haven't really been available to make that happen until now.

https://v.nostr.build/8GERG.mp4

With Coracle's custom feed builder, you can not only choose what people or topics you want to hear from, you can also incorporate lists and DVMs into the mix as well. And because feeds can be saved and shared, it's now trivial to view other people's lists and feeds. The "marketplace of algorithms" is now a reality!

Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj76r0v3kxymmy9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3camnwvaz7tmrdphhyatn9ekkj6m9v35kcem9wghxxmmd9uq3camnwvaz7tmrda6kuarjd9jhxtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszymhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4ej7qg6waehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqypaaaaa7ytwcuk05vq8qgj498gw0jadfm37j0h6cxw780kmcffvq26fjcly for his help making this release both pretty and functional.

Amazing

👀

Gonna have some fun with the new Coracle.

nostr:note1s2wk044wtv4rc45kx7x2y23fp8zq5cf7jy8sr3qey3pqk569gqpqr5rljc

someone share me their feed

LFG 🔥🔥🔥

🍻🫂

you have totally broken the relay connection code though

i got very waylaid pointing the current production coracle today at my relay, it doesn't seem to make connections and when i found some changes to make so i could see what was actually coming in from coracle, the queries were ridiculously long filters that flew past a screenful

i was able to get it to behave a little bit by changing my query concurrency handling but it works already perfect on nostrudel.ninja and touching my relay to these unstable, ever changing versions of other clients has just distracted the hell out of me

i'll fix all that stuff later, in my own time, when i'm not under the gun

i'm pretty sure you client devs wolud be in hell if you had constantly upgrading relays to plug into on the other end also

just don't do it, is my advice, make a fixed target, and hit it hard, and when it's good, then maybe change the target slowly

Thanks for the heads up. It makes sense, a trade-off with the new design is that filters get preprocessed in order to reduce how much duplicate data gets downloaded, and that results in more filters being sent. I'll see what I can do to reduce how many get sent.

probably not a big deal but they are extraordinarily long filters, just cut em in half and fire them off at twice the speed i think

in the meantime i want to take a "holiday" from my current job to totally rewrite this codebase clean... the interfaces need redesigning and the concurrency is a mess

Aint that just the way

talk is cheap

🔥🔥🔥

I've been waiting for you. It seems to be working well. 🫂

I want you to be able to change the order of feeds. Since most clients have a fixed follow-up list, I want them to be able to change the order, including the follow-up list.

Amazing. Can’t wait to try it.

the dvms aren't working for me. i tried Currently Popular Notes DVM and Popular from npubs you follow and they don't show anything in the feed.

They're not working for me either. They don't seem to be working on nostrudel either, so my assumption is that they're currently not running.

I'm having trouble adding people to the lists.

They poop up is they seem to be using coracle as well. But when I input npubs into my feed filters they just blank out

Just released an update that should fix this. You can also just search for people and add them that way

Thank you!

Stupid sexy Flanders

😂

Congrats! Look like a massive list of improvements!

Thanks, it was a really big lift. Now I have to make sure they all work 😅

That sounds great. I’ll try ‘er out again… it’s been a minute.

I don't seem to be able to reply on CORACLE. OE?

I would expect bugs. Can you send me a screenshot of the dev tools, or describe in more detail what you're seeing?

Coracle real slow right now. But I'm logged in with extension.

Trying to reply, I can type in the text. But there isn't a button displayed to send the reply. Alby was confused at one-time and was looping asking me to accept signage.

Not sure a screen capture would add much help.

Interesting, can you try logging out and back in?

Okay seeing the paper plane button now.

Okay seeing the paper plane button now.

Sounds like something got lost in translation and youbwere only halfway logged in. Lemme know if it happens again

Wow, what a great job. Now I have to have NoStrudel and Coracle on side by side.

huge . very

nice features! where does the search feed come from? API?

Any relay that supports nip 50 (mostly nostr.band)

Amazing job!!!

But, oops, everything in market shows as Deleted.

and, is not there the option to select between relays or global in market anymore?

I think it is not showing even all my relays feed.

I've created a custom Feed for kind 30402, On 0 relays (all my default relays) and it shows many many things even than before... global market is wild...

It does a little bit faster than market section, but everything still marked as deleted.

Thanks, I'll look into it

Ok, just released a fix for this, thanks

🔥

We need reposts, not highly customizable feeds. There is not enough content on nostr to have a need to customize feeds

By the same logic, there is not enough content on nostr for reposts to matter. Both are mechanisms for content discovery. Reposts push, custom feeds pull. If the user is to be in control, that means pull is preferable.

This might 10x my nostr user experience. Was already having a good time…

Very cool!

lol Engineer led development fails almost every time.

What exactly is a failure here?

It's a self-serve feed. Build an algo.

Nostr doesn't need more self-serve garbage. Going from a legacy social feed to a Nostr feed is like going from an 8k HD LED TV to a Black and White TV sound.

Users don't want to do work. They want an algo do to the work for them.

This update allows other people to build algorithms that you can then use (I'm working on bookmarking feeds next). That's not (only) self-serve, that's an algorithm marketplace.

Ok apologies. An Algorithm Marketplace is excellent.

I'm probably confused by the Beta stature of it now. Tuning it is super confusing.

People, topics, relays.

Then follows, followers, network.

Then mentions, kinds, relays.

I'm confused what is being tuned here. I can maybe simplify the language if you explain it more. There seems like lots of duplication within it.

A UX idea for you nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn. Most important stuff first, minimal clicking, minimal hidden behind menus, no calendar selectors.

Advanced selections hidden. No double redundant logic confusion issues. Sequential logic. Add conflict notes and tool tips as needed.

they want a corporation to control their minds you mean

After reading this,

Let’s not do anything you say.

As a general rule 😆

I did single relay feeds to check what is going on in my relays' globals. Sometimes nostr.mom does not fetch.

nos.lol seems to be ok.

It's possible nostr.mom has rate limiting or something, I'm working on improving connection management now.

congrats and great work!
