Rolled out new https://iris.to version:
* Zero-configuration zaps for new users: comes with a [npub]@npub.cash lightning address and an integrated Cashu wallet (cashu.me)
* ReplyGuy-free experience: automatically hides content by users not in your social graph
* "Unseen" feed. Click "home" or switch tabs to refresh.
* "Adventure" feed. Shows content from everyone in your social graph.
* Social graph based fast user search
* Better scroll position retention on back navigation
"Add to home screen" for better mobile use experience & push notifications.
This new version is based on NDK. I think it's a good idea for web devs to work together on shared core libraries.
Not perfect, but I'll keep working on it! If you preferred the previous Iris version, you should use https://snort.social which is basically it.
Amazing! But isn't one of the main powers of social media that your post goes viral and lots of people who are NOT in your social graph will reply to you and thus you can tap into the wisdom of the crowd?
Most people that I follow don't follow me back, so that would mean when I post something I would barely ever see any replies to my posts.
Social graph is not just the people you follow (1st degree), but also people they follow (2nd degree) and so on.
Currently Iris loads up to 2nd degree by default. There's also a tool for crawling up to 3rd degree, but it consumes a lot of bandwidth and cpu. 2nd degree was 20K users and 3rd degree 160K users in my graph, so there's plenty of diverse voices.
Optionally we could show posts from unknown users who have a nip05 (e.g. username@iris.to) from a bot-resistant provider. In a permissionless system like Nostr, we will always need to limit write access somehow or it will be filled with spam.
