I'm trying to be better about trashing Iris and the other clients, since I know it's hard to write even just a relatively static web app, but it seems to just repeat messages a lot. Thread views are broken, I get follow notifications for people who didn't actually follow me, my relay list gets reset often, the global feed seems to scroll in a loop, etc.

It's very impressive for the short amount of time it took for it to get to this point, but it's also a buggy mess, and the primary emphasis for the Nostr people seems to still be zaps instead of rock-solid clients.

What was wrong with Coracle?

I have not encountered any niggers so far in my use of Coracle.

dont read your own posts?

Not funny. Do better.

I think it also only does pubkey viewing, not posting...Or maybe I'm missing something and could paste my private key there? I already feel weird about just pasting my private key in Iris.

That would be really weird if you couldn’t use a private key. That seems like it can’t be true.

Hey friend. You might be familiar with the site, but in case you're not here's the link to https://www.nostrapps.com/. It has some clients listed on it. Hope there's something you like there.

iris supports signing via extensions, so you dont need to give it your key

I tried that, it never worked.

ok iris has lots of bugs

It gets bonus points for being the first semi-usable-ish client for desktops, but I think it won't be long before it's overtaken by another project that actually worked on design for a while before slapping code into a repo.

no clients perfect but most have some good points, devs need to collaborate on common tools
