👩‍💻 Something for developers: we added 2 missing libraries that have integrated NWC: Dart NDK https://pub.dev/packages/ndk and NostrDVM https://github.com/believethehype/nostrdvm

🔊 And finally, new category: Relays specialised in NWC events! First two we showcase is Alby NWC relay https://guides.getalby.com/developer-guide/nostr-wallet-connect-api/building-nwc-wallet-services/alby-nwc-relay… and a brand new one: NWCLay https://github.com/dezh-tech/ddsr/tree/main/nwclay

🙏 That's all folks! To see all NWC apps with descriptions and links, visit Awesome NWC repo: https://github.com/getAlby/awesome-nwc

If you know NWC app that is not included there, let us know or create an issue :)

Also, nostr:npub1fq8vrf63vsrqjrwqgtwlvauqauc0yme6se8g8dqhcpf6tfs3equqntmzut thank you for implementing a login function good enough for me to ~steal~ -- errr... I mean, uh... fork.

It's https://lumina.rocks/. The whole time Olas was down, my feed was full of people complaining that they can't post anymore pictures, but you can post kind 20 image notes from lumina, nostr.build, Amethyst, and Jumble, just to name a few, and Derek even jumped in with an emergency replacement, and they were all working fine.

But, when Olas went down, the picture feeds stalled out, as everyone stopped posting, all at once. It's like when Primal goes down or etc. Nobody thinks, "Oh, I'll just use a different one...." And lots of the people who "take a break, waiting for Nostr to get fixed" don't return. Lose users, everytime, due to this extreme centralization.

We're too much like the Matrix protocol, where you can use any interoperable client, so long as it's Element.

Some feedback on #lumina:

1. It's way faster. I don't know what you changed, but I used to have to wait a second or two to page, and loading the pictures was extremely slow, and now I sense no lag.

2. The statistics page is the only slow one. Should probably be cached, and updated server-side into static pages, as the data doesn't change very often.

3. Everything is spread out uncomfortably wide on my laptop screen. Avoid displaying text at a width wider than a book, as the human eye can't track well across an entire monitor. And when I click on the buttons on the bottom, like to view the raw event, then I have to open it on the right-side of the screen and close it on the left, which isn't very ergonomic. Only the gallery should fill the horizontal space, not the menus, modals, text headers, etc.

4. The GitHub button is cute. Made me grin.

5. Dark-mode is fine. Light-mode is too white. Hurt my eyes and distracted from the pictures.

6. The "Load more" button should probably load a lot more. Have to click it to see the next one or two images, and some people have hundreds of images.

7. Anything with a Nostr address like "nostr:note17s8r6mcdw..." (naddr, npub, nprofile, note, nevent) needs to be rendered properly and turned into a hyperlink to that item.

8. #hashtags need to be visually different from normal text and from hyperlinks (unless they are themselves hyperlinks, to a hashtag view or something).

9. Love the trending hashtags view.

10. When I click on notifications, it's loading the ones from May. When I click on a reaction, it takes me to the note that received the reaction. Expected to be taken to the npub that made the reaction, when clicking on their profile, but it also takes me to the note.

11. More tool-tips and explanatory text in the headers would help, as I click on the feed and see pictures, but I have no idea how those pictures are selected. Are they coming from my relays or my follows or..?

12. Uploading went smoothly. Would it be possible to add nostr.build to the blossom servers?

13. Changed my profile from the settings and that worked and rendered on the other clients, immediately.

14. See that you've got a Nostr registration, now, which is cool.

*I didn't notice any major bugs. Everything worked as expected.*

Feels good to write that about a Nostr client. 😊

I leave everyone who managed to get this far, with the link to my #lumina gallery.
