Sure! Here are some thoughts that I've had.

I think seeing which relays a note is posted to is important, but I probably don't need to see it on each and every single comment or reply. There's already a relays button in the top right corner. I don't think I need to also see it down below. It just takes up value screen real estate. I'd like to to be removed. If I want to see which relays the note successfully posted to, I can click the button.

I would like to see Lightning integrated on each note and on user profiles. I believe this is coming soon according to GitHub. I can't wait for this :)

I would like to see Lists integrated. When you follow a lot of pubkeys it becomes hard to find certain content. I have some RSS feeds and companies that I follow. If I'd like to find their latest posts or news, it's a bit tedious now. I'd like to be able to organize pubkeys into following Lists. Similar to Twitter's Lists.

Posting GIFs are important. It's become commonplace for reactions and for laughs. We can already do this now by opening up a separate browser tab, visiting tenor.com for example, finding the GIF link, and posting it back to our Astral post. It would be nice if we had an integrated GIF search and automatic URL posting once the GIF was found. It just makes things more simple and easier.

If I blow away my local storage, I have to go down through every single DM and mark them as read again. Is it possible for a client to track if a DM message was read? I have over 100+ DMs. This process is tedious.

If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know. You're doing a great job. Keep up the fantastic work!

also about the gif thing... I have plans for this as well. but need to stabilize the UI first.

yes darkmode fucks with astral. will def look into that meta tags suggestion, thanks!

would you just want to disable the main page borders and the border separating posts? if so I think this should be doable.

damn what a list hahah. tons of good suggestions, love that this is mobile focused.

definitely agree on adding some sort of visual loading cue.

see here on my resistance to removing relay list #[5]

ability for free likes will never be in astral. paid likes will be, however media comes first (another thing on your list :))

overall agree with all your suggestions for mobile, especially the pull to refresh. I've got them noted down.

thank you semi normal! 🥰

wow what a great list!

for relay list-i've gotten this feedback before but am hesitant to comply bc I want to force the users to see the relays on the main event on the thread. in my experience with end users if you don't force them to notice technical details they will happily ignore it. I am open to making relay section a bit smaller..? would that help at all..?

yes lightning and lists are coming! just need more time 😩

localstorage workaround is wait for all posts to load before visiting message inbox page. by default all messages will be marked as read when you clear local storage and go to inbox. however if you only have a partial list of messages loaded it will only mark those as read. this is a bug I hadn't thought about and will fix this once I do some relay handling refactoring.

thank you for taking the time to write all that out! please keep the ideas coming!

both great ideas. will try to fix 1 and have been waiting until I get time to stand up a cors proxy for 2. thanks!

thank you for understanding.

have you noticed the same recently? I made a change within the last week to no longer use persistent storage so should cut down on this significantly. please let me know if you are still noticing this now.

they aren't prevented from doing that but its not effective bc all those nip05 are still tied to the same pubkey. even if they rotate through different nip05 it doesn't change their pubkey (which is theoretically on a mute list)

spammers having multiple pubkeys is an issue though

glad you like it! my current goal is to get a fully functional web client working on nostr, so only after I think astral web is done will I move on to mobile. also I will not pursue mobile os that doesn't allow side loading (meaning installation without an app store) and iOS doesn't currently allow side loading, but that may change in the next year or two.

a long winded (and hopefully polite) way of saying don't hold your breath 😂

huh really? you can only have one nip05 set on your user profile at a time. yes you can register with multiple nip05 providers at once, but only one nip05 can be set on your user

happy new year all!

change is the only certainty in life, don't be afraid to lean in.

cheers to 2023 🎉

music to my ears. cant wait to see what you build with your client, might end up stealing good features you come up with 😜. and obvi feel free to steal anything from astral

huh what a weird verification workflow
