What didn't work on habla? I just posted and it seems fine.
tried it just now. doesn't seem to work.
Coracle is maybe the least broken of what i tried but unacceptable to me as it wants to make its own rules, such as no reposts etc.
noStrudel the best overall but i think nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr is spending more time on just fixing the bugs i report than you claim is enough time to build the whole client.
i want a client to be good with Fediverse and also with Communities
but the killer feature of noStrudel is the way it previews the posts as you compose them ... Twitter does something similar but i think noStrudel actually does it better.
discourse forum hosting software i use on my site also previews posts but the preview pane is collapsible there if you don't want it. i actually have it collapsed because when it's on it moves the text box away from the center and i hate that. with discourse if the post ends up not looking right i can just edit it later - but with NOSTR you want to get it right the first time so preview is essential to have.

first of all when i wanted to log in with Alby it just sent me to Alby site instead of using Alby extension that i already have working with all other clients
then i had to log in with my NPUB ...
and it did log in me, in the sense that my avatar showed up on the upper right corner etc ...
but instead of my timeline it was just a bunch of posts by FiatJaf ...
Didn't you click in the Alby link instead of the Login Button?
you're right. i logged out and logged back in using login button and it did use Alby extension correctly.
so that part is not broken, just cluttered interface where they assume i will read the whole page and i simply clicked on the first thing i recognized.
I'm on primal and noticed popular users posts load but smaller user's pages are just stuck in time
like WTF is this ? where is my feed ? it has my avatar showing and it even has all my relays right. but my feed is nowhere to be found ?
Your feed is not supposed to show there man... this is a blogging tool, not a twitter client.
so what makes it better for "blogging" than noStrudel let's say ?
does it offer ability to edit posts ?
It is really nice that nostr enables developers to get stuff out the door fast. the disconnect is that it is hard for the audience to appreciate that because some clients are so barebones they don't even say on the site what it does.
Without someone pointing out that Habla is a blogging platform and not a social media feed, I don't think I would have known that was what it was. The Get Started button doesn't tell you what you're getting started and clicking on the adorable pac-man makes him animate (which is VERY CUTE)
The funny thing about this whole encounter though is that by me reading this random comment thread, I've found a tool that I've been looking for 😄
