Subnostr

Astral is a wickedly inefficient web-based Nostr client that has lots of great functionality but implements it very poorly. Go to astral.ninja to use it. I'm using it myself until I get enough functionality in my own alternative web-client to use that instead.

any particular areas I should focus on improving implementation? always appreciate feedback

IndexDB was 1gb in 3 days. Not sure what it's caching, but it starts to drag on the browser fast. If I delete the app data it goes back to operating smoothly for a while, but doesn't take long before 100s of mbs are back in the db. It also has my CPU fan running hard. Thanks.

haha i'm releasing an update rn that trashes indexeddb

jleger2023 3y ago

Cool. Looking forward to it! I really like the app it's just a drag on the browser due to resource usage.

wow. what does it use now?

monlovesmango 3y ago

non persistent browser memory. so loads all your stuff every time. really wanted to make persistent indexeddb work but its too slow.

someone 3y ago

good idea!

jleger2023 3y ago

That's what I'm doing. Minimal localStorage use but mostly just non-persistent structures and letting the relays do most of the work. It's makes things run much faster.

someone 3y ago

can you print version somewhere so we can understand an update happened?

monlovesmango 3y ago

hmm sure, not a bad idea.

can't wait for this. it should improve so much.

monlovesmango 3y ago

its live. but you need to clear your cache storage for images to get served correctly.
