nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a your website is down. 😱😢

This is the first public Android release, we're submitting to the Play Store, but an APK is ready for you to try: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/releases/download/v0.1.0/spring-nostr-browser-v0.1.0.apk

The app is open source: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/

We believe this category of a Nostr-specific browser is a very powerful tool for all the nostriches and bitcoiners. It takes the experience of using Nostr micro-apps to the next level, and should help accelerate the adoption of non-social Nostr use cases.

Some screenshots are here:

If you hesitate to paste your nsec into the app, we totally get it - just use your (or someone else's) npub to log in and look around. However, if you do add your real keys - those are handled by a separate library, stored in an encrypted form and protected by the Android keystore, inaccessible to any JS code, immune to XSS or app-level bugs.

What you can do today:

- add nsec keys or npubs, switch between keys

- browse various interesting events on the homepage - trending stuff, suggested profiles, big zaps, highlights, long posts, live streams, nostr web apps

- open any event in any web app that supports this event kind and has been published on nostr using NIP-89

- open/close/hide the browser tabs, grouped by app/domain

- log in inside the opened apps as if you have the 'browser extension' (nip-07 interface injected into tabs)

- pin apps/tabs to your app "drawer" for fast access

- access your contact list at the search page, profiles sorted by recently-accessed first

- search through profiles, notes and long posts

- tab menu - if there is an event-id/npub in the url of the opened tab, you can zap the event, or open with another app from the menu (more coming soon)

- context menu - if you long-tap on a link with event-id/npub in the url, you can zap/open-with from the context menu

- nostr: links clicked inside a tab are handled by showing a list of apps that support this event (NIP-89)

- long-tap on a text selection with event-id/npub to open the context menu to zap/open-with

- paste a url to the search bar to open it in a new tab

- paste an event-id/npub into the search bar to open it in a new tab

IMPORTANT: nostr apps running inside the browser tabs can sign events and decrypt private messages without a confirmation screen and your explicit permission - do not use apps you don't trust until we implement proper app permission management.

What is coming:

- key access permission management

- reordering of pins in the app drawer

- more event kinds on the homepage

- search for more event kinds

- tab switcher screen

- NWC to inject WebLN into tabs

- custom feeds on the home screen

- custom tab/context menu items

- DVMs for translation, transcription etc

- and much more!
