Please welcome Spring - the nostr browser.
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!
What do you think?
Nice work mate! Looks good so far!
Yeah nice. There's a Huge variety on the website. Very hard not to go crazy and buy too much. Especially at this time of year. Lots of good resources on there. They sell pretty well everything.
I love me a trip to the diggers club. Like being a kid in a candy store. Maxxing out on sunflowers this year, bees love them and my yields go up. Second planting of potatoes to extend my harvest season. Looking forward to spring!

Low time preference. Sensing similarities between BTC & Permaculture
you've probably already seen this but just in case our friend Svetski has a bit to say about AI
Thanks for the info mate. Love what you're doing!
Underrated
Also love the mini greenhouse set up
Yes mate. Love to see it
Wow. Great to see that so much progress can be made/is possible in only 5 years. Well done mate
Correct on both counts. Love the TCR, done plenty of kms but still going strong. I've had no issues with the fly 6. I've also got the fly 12 sport on the front. Hasn't failed me yet either, could just be unlucky?
Here's my #proofofride contribution nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6. First little rays of spring popping it's head out.

This was the old CIA, don’t worry, they changed after no-one went to prison and nothing happened to any of them ever..

I seem to remember a guy that once said he was going to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds. Can't remember what happened to him though.
