Nostr Web Client

verbiricha 1y ago

yo! I'm happy to announce the first release of chachi, a relay-based group (NIP-29) client for the web. NIP-29 allows creating groups that can be read by anyone or only authenticated users. These groups can be open to new members or require explicit approval from the group admins.

Every group gets a chat and a timeline of posts. I'll add more content types such as long-form and video in the future. Check out these videos explaining the main features of chachi.

i get an error message:

Unexpected Application Error!

Object.groupBy is not a function. (In 'Object.groupBy(e,b=>b.relay)', 'Object.groupBy' is undefined)

verbiricha 1y ago

what browser are you using? must be a really old one https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_object_groupby

🤦🏼‍♀️ 1y ago

i am using Orion on my phone (so i can use browser extensions), but same error if i open in Brave.

i have an iPhone 8 so i don't have newest iOS.

verbiricha 1y ago

I see, I'll add a polyfill so it doesn't crash those browsers, thanks for the help!

Hello. It looks cool

When I try to search groups, it shows me a random list of groups and doesn't let me type. Is that ok?

verbiricha 1y ago

Hmm might be a bug, I'll check. The list contains all NIP-29 groups and typing should filter them.

I’m trying to create a group but there’s no text field to add name ):

𝕾𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖑𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖞 1y ago

Nvm works now!

If anyone has this issue just refresh!

Congrats, excited to play with it

djmeistro✝️ 🍊💊⚡️ 1y ago

Office blocked the domain, will test when back home

Cool, congrats!

Happy to see a lot of work in the NIP-29 area.

verbiricha 1y ago

Thanks Daniele, I'm really excited about the possibilities of NIP-29

Sebastix 1y ago

Bullish on the NIP-29 stuff!

On my desktop everything works quite well 🤙🏻 but on my iOS device with Brave its giving me errors when opening the url

verbiricha 1y ago

Noted, I know what's wrong and I'll fix it asap!

Sebastix 1y ago

Let me know if I need to test it again to confirm if the fix is working 🫡

verbiricha 1y ago

should be fixed now, can you confirm? 🙏

Sebastix 1y ago

The errors are gone 👌🏻

mischiefmari 1y ago

this looks cute but I don't know how to use it from my phone!

verbiricha 1y ago

Are you on Android or iOS? I'll add more login options soon so it's easier to use on mobile.

🔥

Would be cool to auto bookmark chats i spoke in or joined

verbiricha 1y ago

💯 I will implement that shortly

Running wss://relay29.notoshi.win

verbiricha 1y ago

oh nice, I'll add it to the list so people can create and browse groups there. in the future I'll use nip-66 to get the list of relays that support it but it's a hardcoded list for now.

verbiricha 1y ago

btw can you enable the special `_` group for top-level relay groups? Thanks Notoshi 💜

Notoshi⚡ 1y ago

I can use it 🫂

Melvin Carvalho 1y ago

Do you have some short notes on how you got it working?

Notoshi⚡ 1y ago

I deployed it on Docker

https://hub.docker.com/r/notoshi/groups-relay

ChipTuner 1y ago

Nice work!

I noticed a couple of things I'm sure you are working on.

- A send button would be nice instead of just pressing enter.

- When I'm connected to a relay in "relay view" I still get auth prompts for like a dozen other relays, I have not configured (assume hard coded).

- When I deny some requests the app becomes unresponsive. This is common among some apps like primal and coracle to name some. By unresponsive, I mean, I can no longer sent messages or change profile etc. I have to refresh and then re-do the entire cycle.

- When I deny a request to sign a note, it sill appears in the right hand chat pane as if it was sent, even though I got a toast notification saying it failed.

I built a custom signer. When I deny a request it raises an exception. I've noticed some apps don't handle the exceptions well and just stop working.

If you have an issue tracker I'd be more than happy to submit a more detailed error report or multiple issues :)

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

i'm a big fan of ctrl-enter to send as a shortcut to activate the send button also (this works with coracle and nostrudel also)

verbiricha 1y ago

great UX suggestion 📝

Silberengel 1y ago

Off-topic, is accessing your profile meant to flip the reading-orientation on Nostrudel? The menu is now on the right.

ChipTuner 1y ago

lmao

verbiricha 1y ago

That's a bug, nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr pls fix sir

Silberengel 1y ago

That is a hilarious bug, tho. 🤭

verbiricha 1y ago

haha true, I suspect it happens because my name is in Arabic and the text direction is set to auto so it switches the UI to RTL mode. haven't checked tho.

Silberengel 1y ago

Yeah, figured it's a localisation error.

ChipTuner 1y ago

It even reversed my shadow DOM too, which was new to me.

I'll fix it in the next version

This should be fixed in the next version now, I removed `dir="auto"` from the whole page and moved it to just the note content. what way it does not flip the whole page 😅

Silberengel 1y ago

How do we see the fixed version? My next.nostrudel.ninja is still flipped, when I click on his profile.

Silberengel 1y ago

See?

verbiricha 1y ago

wow thanks for reporting these, was aware of some but not all. there is an issue tracker at https://git.v0l.io/verbiricha/chachi/issues I'd like to use nostr for issue tracking but haven't set up the repo yet. we can use gitea in the meantime.

Silberengel 1y ago

Okay, I added the three I've reported, so far, so that you can post updates on them, there. I'll report there, going forward.

Silberengel 1y ago

Ah, yeah, just noticed all the relay permissions, logging in. Was too excited, to pay attention, last time. 😂 Good catch.

Hey nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg ! me alegra de haberte visto en la WoB!

Estoy tratando de crear un grupo en chachi. Me lo deja crear, pero no me pone dentro de él; y cuando le doy a "Join", me pone "Failed to send join request". Hay algo que estoy haciendo mal?

verbiricha 1mo ago

ey Rafa, me puedes pasar URL del grupo? creo que es un bug en Chachi o un conocido bug del server. lo miro y te digo.

Te lo paso por DM
