Repost and try it out nostr:note1f5p70rtnpvns5qrzfmn7f22ru7vhrktyujecq8qhmhkkh0jjteesa9lywq
Yes, apparently even with STM you can try to shoot yourself in the foot.
BREAKING NEWS: OpenSats decided to no longer support FUTR - your beloved nostr client.
Don't worry, this project is not dead, even without financial support. My work continues, but most likely not full time anymore.

Gravity Does Not Exist

Electromagnetism is probably enough and we don't need a gravity force.
I'm hunting a ghost. Some error that is hard to find, whenever you suspect it to be in some specific place, you turn over every piece of the puzzle, just to realize it's not here as well.
Now that I know where you are not, I'm coming for you tomorrow, dear ghost 👻.
FUTR v0.4.2 released
Important bugfix release for Windows users:
https://github.com/futrnostr/futr/releases/download/v0.4.2/futr-0.4.2.0-setup.exe
In the previous release, I forgot to include libssl and libcrypto, without which TLS connections fail due to missing libraries. Sorry for any inconveniences.
FUTR 0.4.1 released - the nostr client for desktop (Linux & Windows)
Windows Users can download the installer at:
https://github.com/futrnostr/futr/releases/download/v0.4.1/futr-0.4.1.0-setup.exe
Linux Users:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists futr-stable https://flatpak.futrnostr.com/futr-stable.flatpakrepo
flatpak install com.futrnostr.futr
Improvements:
- Introduced deferred pubkey-based profile update batching to replace immediate Qt signaling.
- Enhanced relay connection state tracking and rebalancing logic.
- Contact relays now exclude localhost, preserving own pubkey relays.
- InboxModel startup is now fully async, eliminating login delay.
- Integrated AppVeyor for Windows CI builds.

damn, version was hardcoded, lol.
build again https://ci.appveyor.com/project/prolic/futr/builds/52502362
takes an hour to build - futr v0.4.1 coming right now: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/prolic/futr/builds/52502262
Nostr seems to be already decently decentralized, contrary to many critic's views. As an example, I follow 101 people as I write this, I use two relays per contact for duplication, so if would be very centralized, you'd expect me to connect to 10 relays at most. Actual relay connections: 74. That's 101 contacts spread across 74 relays with 2 relays per contact selected max.
#nostr #nostrdev
Resolved - available via continuous release on Linux. Will publish 0.4.1 incl Windows Support tomorrow.
Working on some relay connection improvements, probably ready to go this week, FUTR is getting more stable and faster by the day.

I have a working windows installer, created manually. This is going to get released tomorrow.
I hope I can get automation sorted, too.
Again: some windows dependency hell blocks new release of FUTR. I really hate windows, how can anyone seriously use this crap? It's like trying to use a spear as a chair.
I try to automate Windows releases through GitHub actions this evening. Once completed, I release. If problems pop up, I do manual release later this evening. Either way, v0.4 goes out today.
Next: feeds of mixed posts of all you follow
Then: friends of your friends
Then: possibly zap integration?
Before and after screen recordings of FUTR, the nostr client:
New - fast and easy scroll (~50 times faster):
Old - scrolling large feeds can easily freeze the application:
Available for testing on continuous release. I'm going to hit release button later today.

Lots of manual testing, Bugfixes and cleanup today. Looks good for 0.4 release, maybe tomorrow if no further blocker pops up.

I've done it. Futr is now 50x faster! Need to clean up some debugging and fix two issues, release early the next. futrnostr.com

I totally agree with you. But if you think strategically, now the topic is big news. Compare to how it was perceived when they gave those garbage dossiers to a bunch of influencers.
I observed the left now criticizing Trump for not releasing those records. Possibly he's doing it all on purpose to awaken even more people and by putting more attention to it. Only time will tell, try not to judge is my best advice.
