Nostr

Build 57 of Nos is out with support for push notifications! Now you can get a notification instantly when you are mentioned, even when the app is closed. This build has been in the oven for a while, there a quite a few more goodies in it as well:

- Added beta integration with the Universal Name System. Edit your profile to link your Universal Name to your Nostr profile.

- Added the number of connected relays in the top right corner of the Home Feed.

- Updated design of the relay selector

- Added a confirmation dialog when deleting a note.

- Fixed several bugs around muting users

- Fixed high cpu usage when the app is idle

- Fixed a bug where expired messages could be published to relays that doesn't support them

- Fixed an issue where Nos sometimes couldn't find the user's key on startup.

- Fixed an issue where you could have duplicate relays: one with a trailing slash and one without.

Also, as we do with most of our work, we open-sourced the server we are using to send these notifications. It accepts registration requests over web sockets like a relay and then listens to registered user’s relays for posts mentioning them. When it sees one it sends a silent background notification to the iOS app which can then download the events for itself and display the appropriate notifications. It’s a slick piece of engineering by nostr:npub1uucu5snurqze6enrdh06am432qftctdnehf8h8jv4hjs27nwstkshxatty. https://github.com/planetary-social/nos-notification-service-go

nostr:npub1rq9x6sk86e8ccw2cm8gsm4dyz9l24t823elespupaxjnzdk026fsca2r93 also recently translated Nos into Dutch. Unfortunately we are having some problems with our Crowdin integration and didn’t get the translations into this release, but they’ll be in the next one!

I haven’t been spending enough time on nos, but I am starting to now! Is there a way to get the feed in chronological order?

Not yet! Choosing your home feed algorithm will definitely be a feature we bring at some point, but we haven't brought it over from Planetary yet. I'm a fan of chronological order as well (and feed offset syncing between devices).
