Hey guys, I'm spending some time today preparing v1.6 for the app store, it's been a long time coming with many new features. Here's a breakdown of everything new in this version!
## Notable new features in 1.6
* Custom built, embedded C WASM interpreter (nostrscript), which will be used for custom algos, filters and lists
* Longform note support
* Hashtag following
* Configurable reactions
* New Live user status NIP (music, general)
* Adjustable font sizes
* A very long list of bug fixes and performance improvements
* Fast and persistent profile searching using nostrdb
### Top priorities for 1.7
* Lists
* Custom algos and filters using nostrscript
* Stories
* Multi account
* Tor integration
* Better NWC integration (wallet balances, transaction history)
* Advanced note search via nostrdb
* Fully switch to nostrdb for all notes
* Discord-like relays (click a relay to view all the notes on it)
So much more but maybe I will not try to be too ambitious ...
