Nostr Web Client

💎💎💎 New release

Coracle 0.4.5 is out! This release was over two months in the making, and includes a whole lot of small quality-of-life updates, as well as a complete re-write of relay selection and feed loading.

The flagship feature for this update though is CUSTOM FEEDS. One of the biggest promises of nostr has always been to "give control to the user". This is a huge idea, and while being theoretically possible, the tools haven't really been available to make that happen until now.

With Coracle's custom feed builder, you can not only choose what people or topics you want to hear from, you can also incorporate lists and DVMs into the mix as well. And because feeds can be saved and shared, it's now trivial to view other people's lists and feeds. The "marketplace of algorithms" is now a reality!

you have totally broken the relay connection code though

i got very waylaid pointing the current production coracle today at my relay, it doesn't seem to make connections and when i found some changes to make so i could see what was actually coming in from coracle, the queries were ridiculously long filters that flew past a screenful

i was able to get it to behave a little bit by changing my query concurrency handling but it works already perfect on nostrudel.ninja and touching my relay to these unstable, ever changing versions of other clients has just distracted the hell out of me

i'll fix all that stuff later, in my own time, when i'm not under the gun

i'm pretty sure you client devs wolud be in hell if you had constantly upgrading relays to plug into on the other end also

just don't do it, is my advice, make a fixed target, and hit it hard, and when it's good, then maybe change the target slowly

Thanks for the heads up. It makes sense, a trade-off with the new design is that filters get preprocessed in order to reduce how much duplicate data gets downloaded, and that results in more filters being sent. I'll see what I can do to reduce how many get sent.

probably not a big deal but they are extraordinarily long filters, just cut em in half and fire them off at twice the speed i think

in the meantime i want to take a "holiday" from my current job to totally rewrite this codebase clean... the interfaces need redesigning and the concurrency is a mess

Aint that just the way
