Nostr Web Client

I'm just now figuring out how to us Gossip because both Damus and Primal have failed me. I downloaded a brief tutorial from Rumble that I believe you made.

I'm trying to figure out 1/4 of the options and settings it has. Bare with me, I'm retarded.

Gossip will fail you as well I'm sure!

It works well enough for me most of the time but something about the libraries it depends on interacting badly with Debian testing Xfce sometimes freezes my desktop as I'm typing into it. And it frustrates me. I don't think it is my bad code, but somehow I'm triggering a deeper bug.

The lower left "lights" indicate if something needs to be handled.

The circle buttons on the right of a post go into that post's thread view.

Relays is it's own complex set of pages.

It's more complexed than any mobile client I've used. Is there an option for spell checking? I only want to appear half retaded.

I have relays set, nPubs I follow, fonts bigger in the UI, and enough that I can function pretty well though. It took me almost a year to take the plunge into Gossip because of the complexity and not knowing all the technical lingo.

Spell checking! Brilliant idea. No.

Desktops having more screen real-estate lend themselves to having more complex UIs. A tool that you use a lot and know well should have a complex UI. A tool that you are new to should have a simple UI. The Ideal UI would get more complex as you used the tool. But I'm not a UI developer, I actually abhor UI development, so I had other people work on the UI as much as I could: nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk and nostr:npub1hlq93jdtkfg29a8s7fqzzzh82q3pkc20rxucwt4geh6e56wk3y2qxdz5wg . Now and then I meddled and messed up their plans so I take all the blame for UI problems, and they get all the praise for UI brilliance.

This maybe another dumb idea but I cannot highlight and select a given not text copy/paste it into a reply within the app. All in all Gossip is pretty cool and I'm glad I have another solution (probably more secure than mobile) rather than a mobile client.

You want to cut-and-paste images? I started on that but didn't complete it: https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/issues/995

Say I'm looking at your reply right in front of me as I am and I think you have some great information and was wondering if I could just select the specific text that I highlight and copy it. As of right now (I'm using an AppImage) I can highlight your text text but I have no option to copy or paste it. I even tried contol C/V with no wookie.

As an example: If I write a bang up post and want to save it to my offline notes I am unable to select my text and copy it. I can write something offline and control V it and it works.

As for pics, I have a totally different idea that I proposed to the code slinger of Damus and I found out that Primal was able to pull it off. If I can find my old note describing what my idea was I'll post it to you.

Are you using version 0.14? I think cut-and-paste works in 0.14. Maybe I'm wrong and it only started working later.... and if so I should release again.

Yes, currently on .14. Again it is the AppImage, not sure if that matters.
