Great desktop client. Easy rust cargo build and install, clean interface. Interesting relay model! Still playing.

QR codes as well. def will help people follow fast if more clients implement.
Oh wow. I actually said I hoped that we had QR codes in clients for Nostrica so that we could easily follow one another there.
maybe the mobile clients can implement by then?
I want to be able to import npubs in batch and follow all of them.
The Dutch community is making such a list and for newcomers that would be a great wat to get some followers
Opened issue as https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/issues/171
Would all the npubs be living on the same relay? If not, might want to import nprofile in batch (nprofile associates relays with the npub). If so, however, the import function should let you specify a relay for them all while importing.
QR is the move. At least the early stages
The QR code thing basically renders the entire note as a QR code. I put it in so I could pay LN invoices with my phone. I still need to add it to other places, like for following people or for metadata lud addresses.
I'm still playing with it to. All feedback much appreciated.
can't seem to enter emoji :(
i am totally fine with going back to the 90's >:)
👌
Yeah, definitely a major shortcoming at the moment. I cut-and-paste (with CTRL-v, not unix middle click) from another app: 🤙.
Eventually I'll stop and think about how to build an emoji picker... but my dream is if someone else who had the aptitude for UI helped out on the UI parts of gossip.
The other thing is all the emojis are black-and-white rather ugly ones. I really want to use NotoColorEmoji.ttf, but ab_glyph (used by egui) doesn't support fonts with color tables: https://github.com/alexheretic/ab-glyph so either (1) we inspire Alex Heretic to add support for color tables, (2) we work around it by drawing color emojis onto a GPU texture and hack into the text rendering stream, or (3) we switch egui to use a different backend renderer like swash (if that is even ready I dunno), or (4) we ditch egui and rebuild gossip's gui (which is not too tightly integrated).
