Nostr Web Client

Ok if you were wondering what all those metadata image tests were about:

In the next build, Damus image uploads will save blurhash and image dimensions in the post, allowing clients to use this information to put a blurry placeholder that fades into the real image when it loads. How neat is that!? This is done in a backwards compatible way so clients can ignore this if they don’t need it, and urls won’t break! Check it out:

Now do the same for NIP-94 quoted posts. Super easy.

I don’t want to display images via quoted posts

Also having the blurhash in the event allows me to start building the blurhash image immediately after I get the note over the wire.

Nice. Looking forward to a less jump feed as the posts will be sized correctly and don’t expand mid scroll.

exactly! That’s the idea

This is the big win here. UX elements that move under your finger as a function of loading is my #1 pet peeve.

Great work #[4] #zapped

Well done with this backwards compatible update.

Can blurhash be also used to check if the image has been changed or modified?

But don't your users deserve to see it?

It's not about you.

PS: it would work for NIP 95 as well.

The gaslighting here is impressive.

I am implementing your stuff to please my users. It's funny that you think this is gaslighting.

Do they even get notifications?

Each app could have a page where users can upvote feature requests? 🙂
