GM everyone!
I heard that this was a scam. I have shame for reposting this, as I didn't know that was a scam. I have to say sorry to all of you for reposting this. I apologize a lot. It is so bad to cheat the people with kind hearts.
I feel very bad about reposting this. I didn't know that it is a scam. Shame about those people who did this scam. I need to say sorry to this community.

#9 🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases
==================================
1. Coracle - 0.6.19
Coracle is an experimental Nostr client designed to harness the full potential of multiple relays, enabling users to browse, filter, zap, and build custom feeds for a curated Nostr experience. This release enhances relay hint reliability, enables DMs via conversation links, improves feed parent fetching, removes profile banners, and introduces better mute functionality with private muting by default. It now broadcasts user relays when publishing, aggressively refreshes user data to avoid race conditions, adds NWC wallet management, and reworks the zaps feature.

2. Amber - v.3.4.5-pre1
Amber is a Nostr event signer for Android, designed to keep users’ private keys (nsec) securely stored in a dedicated app. This pre-release adds a button in notifications and the AppBar to restart relay connections, retries subscriptions when reconnecting, and attempts relay restarts when message sending fails. It also rechecks encryption type compatibility, reverts multi-window QR code reader support, generates new events on errors to prevent duplicates, sends error notifications when events can’t be delivered, and changes the process to close the app before retrying event sends.

👋 Stay in Touch & Zap
===================
Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me, Nomishka, with a zap.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this thirty-sixth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.

Recap by nostr:npub19hs0lg9vyd0lghayeju5fnflx0melawjrl8etuqln9gkhd4mwtxq2t5jcn
IMO colleges and campuses are the places where students live that are overseen by a centralized system. So they like centralization. I think there is a high risk of them not being interested in Nostr because they like if someone oversees and controls them. It's according to Sri Lanka. But the effort is always good. :-)
I'd check out the weekly updates from nostr:nprofile1qqszmc8l5zkzxhl5t7jvew2ye5ln8aul7hfplnu47q0ej5ttk6ah9nqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgnwaehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0w3hhx6rf9emkjmsdmev6n which have a bit of everything nostr related
Thank you! Stay with my recaps! The next one will be published within 20 hours. :-)
GM Nostr world!
I woke up! 5.33am here in Sri Lanka.
Starting to spread Nostr and let's Zap for the plebs!

Recap by nostr:npub19hs0lg9vyd0lghayeju5fnflx0melawjrl8etuqln9gkhd4mwtxq2t5jcn
I am so sad to say that we found a new leaking part from a non-fixed part of my roof with the heavy rains yesterday. I feel bad for asking for help continuously here, but it should be fixed soon, and I am helpless at the moment. With this situation it got disrupted for my #Nostr and #Bitcoin adoption and spreading work, as we have to remove water when it rains while being there. Your every small zap is very precious for me at the moment. Also your repost. If you think I deserve it, please help me with a zap to help me proceed with my work on Nostr. Thank you everyone!

#9 🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases
==================================
1. Coracle - 0.6.18
Coracle is a web-based Nostr client that explores what makes Nostr unique, offering advanced relay selection, web-of-trust moderation, privacy protection, and content recommendations. In this version, Coracle improves UX with a tooltip on the Bunker login QR code, fixes initial note creation bugs, improves NIP-05 validation, and allows viewing of raw profile JSON. These updates refine the experience for privacy-conscious users who value fine-grained control over their Nostr interactions.
Developed by: nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, Lucas Klasa
Source: https://github.com/coracle-social/coracle/releases/tag/0.6.18
2. Yana - v0.17.0
Yana (Yet Another Nostr Application) is a multi-platform, community-driven Nostr client designed for better performance on older devices and built around a true FOSS spirit. In this version, Yana introduces a new Wallet app flavor, Blossom media server management, and a modern video player with autoplay settings. It also brings a new drawer design, faster QR scanner performance, and improved handling of pending/failed payments. These updates make Yana more media-friendly, wallet-aware, and smooth across devices, while staying lightweight and open for contributors.

3. Flotilla - 1.2.0
Flotilla is a Discord-like Nostr client built around the concept of “relays as groups,” making decentralized group chat intuitive and structured. In v1.2.0, Flotilla adds push notifications on all platforms, a “mark all as read” feature for desktop, and a redesigned space dashboard for better navigation. It also fixes issues with thread comment sorting, link display, and profile protection, while improving notifier authentication by switching from Bunker URLs to relay claims. These updates enhance usability and real-time communication in group-centric Nostr spaces.

4. Runstr - v0.5.2
Runstr is a fitness tracking app built on Nostr, blending workouts with social features and decentralized identity. In this version, Runstr adds major upgrades for cyclists: real-time 1-second update frequency, intelligent stationary detection, and smoothed speed tracking for more accurate feedback. The League system now supports activity-specific leaderboards, and a new auto-posting feature lets users automatically share workouts as kind 1301 events, with full user control. This update refines the experience for runners, cyclists, and walkers alike in the open Nostr fitness world.

5. Pokey - v0.2.4-beta
Pokey is a Nostr notification tool that displays live alerts for your events and allows other apps to receive and interact with them, bringing real-time awareness to the Nostr ecosystem. In this release, Pokey introduces a new Mute List view, giving users better control over which profiles trigger notifications. This update enhances user control and personalization, making Pokey even more effective as a decentralized notification hub. This is the latest release, and there was the release of v0.2.3-beta also last week.

#10 🎁 Developer Tools, Updates and Releases
===========================================
1. Dart Nostr Development Kit (NDK) - v0.4.1
NDK (Nostr Development Kit) is a Dart library that streamlines the development of Nostr apps by providing robust tools for relay communication and protocol handling. In this release, NDK adds support for new NIP-51 event kinds, introduces a timeout parameter for Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), and includes missing delete functions. It also improves connection logic by preventing JIT engines from overconnecting to low-value relays and fixing relay reconnection issues. These updates enhance reliability, control, and developer flexibility when building Nostr apps in Dart.

Under the hood, it improves bookmark deduplication, better utilizes OpenGraph metadata, and boosts tag cloud performance by narrowing the timeframe to the last 7 days. With this release, Yumyume becomes more than a bookmarking tool, it becomes a communal experience. The concept is from nostr:npub1l77twp5l02jadkcjn6eeulv2j7y5vmf9tf3hhtq7h7rp0vzhgpzqz0swft.
To support its growth, contributions to the nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 campaign are encouraged, with rewards available for even less than the cost of a yearly Pinboard subscription.

Introducing ZapWall! Sell your digital products through zaps. Powered by nostr!
1. “Connect” to nostr
2. List your digital product - photo, art, whatever as long as you can download it, it’ll work. You’ll need to actually host it somewhere (I could implement hosting later too).
3. Set price
4. Get zapped - user gets content
Very very alpha stage, probably not super secure in terms of guarding your URLs.
DOES NOT generate new unique urls yet (would be ideal)
Use at your own risk, but do try it out if you have a chance ;) Thoughts, feedback and ideas welcome! https://zapwall.vercel.app/
Do you have open source git repo for this?
