Update on Nostr.Band:

- you can now login w/ extension and there is a menu at the top with quick access to your profile, posts, following list (technically login was already there, but it wasn't obvious)

- you can now choose which object types to search through (all/posts/profiles are supported atm)

- on the profile search results page there are new 'group action' buttons, that allow you to quickly follow/unfollow the listed profiles

Group actions might be interesting:

- you want to clean up your own following list - in top menu select 'Following' and get your contact list listed, then can unfollow some quicker

- you can copy someone else's following - go to a profile, click on 'Following' under it, get their contact list, follow some people quicker

- you can quickly follow/unfollow profiles matching a keyword or a hashtag

And you know what, contact list kind:3 is just a special case of NIP-51 lists. Quick profile-list editing comes next.

And you know what, your home feed from contact list is just a special case of following any list. If clients let you follow a list, then you could have many topical feeds.

And lists can be liked, zapped etc, and some will get popular. The best ones might even be used by clients for onboarding. And this way we might finally start solving the discovery/grownostr problem, without relying on algos.

WDYT?

Wow, this is mind-blowing. You are taking Nostr to the edge. Wait until people realize what you have built here!

Thanks! Although Twitter has lists too, you can follow them, they have a feed, but not sure many people use this feature. I wonder if it could be any different on Nostr.

I will try it for a few days and provide as useful feedback as possible.

I think how a UI is built in encouraging user to customise their own feed is a winner

I'm curious, has there been any discussion about the relevance of having public/private/anon follows (similar to zaps)? Or does NIP-51 and kind 30000 make it unnecessary to consider this feature?

NIP-51 allows you to store encrypted list in the content, so it will only be readable to you.

Is nostr.band indexing Lightning polls (NIP-69) #[2]

Not yet! I'm a bit overwhelmed by new NIPs and kinds, but it will all come "soon".

Real men don’t complain about too many new NIPs Artur.

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Overwhelmed != complain, I will handle it, just give me a minute!

My NIPs need your attention the most!

NIPs are all precious!

Incredible work! Love seeing the evolution of your site. Thank you for all you do! πŸ«‚πŸ€™

Thank you!

love this: empowering discovery instead of deciding on an algorithm πŸ’‘

I have tried using but just get an error message. Using safari and Nostore on iOS.

Yes, some people are reporting that on it doesn't work on some connections, looking into that. Try switching from wifi to mobile or vpn, might start working.

Ok thank you 😊

Nostr.band is great, but it doesn't work in Firefox (win) nor in Tor browser. Typically turning on javascript un-breaks web pages, but it didn't help in this case. Is it just me?

It works well in chrome.

It doesn't work without javascript. And it does work on FF and Tor browser.

But I do get reports that some people on some connections can't get it to work (i.e. if you switch from wifi to mobile it might start working). Looking for the cause.

Interesting. I'll investigate if any other browser "hardening" settings are breaking it. But enabling javascript should be sufficient.

FF displays a very broken site (probably not typical). Tor browser (default config, javascript enabled) looks ok, but returns an error when trying to search.

This is on windows desktop, conected via ethernet.

Ok, an extension was blocking the javascript (on top of noscript). Now it's working. My bad.

Just found out about nostr.band - Very cool tool! Thanks for building.
