๐ White Noise v1.0.4 is out now. Faster, Stronger, Cleaner.
Thank you to everyone who tested v0.1.3 and gave us feedback.
As the saying goes, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Well, we got punched in the face on the last release.Being able to see the real-world usage and issues that cropped up was invaluable, however.
You should see significant improvements across the board.
For v1.0.4 we took on a major refactor of the underlying rust crate that does most of the heavy lifting in the app.
These "backend" changes required significant updates here in the app to align to the new rust API and includes numerous bug fixes, refactors many internal components for better maintainability, and improves the overall responsiveness of the application.
Finally, we did a lot of UI/UX polish along the way.
๐ช Stability and Performance
- Improved backend: The backend that manages relay connects, event processing, and group operations has been significantly overhauled resulting in a more stable and performant app.
- Improved Relay Handling: Relay connection checks have been refactored to provide better error handling and a more stable experience
Pull-to-refresh for relays has been removed to simplify the user experience
- Performance Fixes: Several performance improvements have been made to reduce lag and improve the overall responsiveness of the app
- Bug Fixes: Numerous bugs have been fixed, including issues with account switching, metadata handling, and chat message display
- Android Specific Fixes: Addressed a bug with sensitive clipboard handling for private key copying on Android
๐ง Features and Functionality
- Group Management: Users can now edit group names and descriptions from the group info page
- Message Drafts: Message drafts are now stored securely, so users won't lose their messages if they navigate away from a chat
- Improved Navigation: Added back buttons in the authentication flow and improved navigation within the app
- Key Package Admin: Added a new screen for managing key packages
๐ฑ UI/UX Enhancements
- Improved Chat Experience: The chat auto-scroll behavior has been enhanced to work better with the keyboard, preventing messages from being hidden.
The swipe-to-reply widget has also been refactored
- Redesigned "Start New Chat" Sheet: The "Start New Chat" sheet has been redesigned for better performance and usability, reducing load times and improving scrolling
- Skeleton Loaders: Skeleton loaders have been added to provide a better user experience while content is loading
- Emoji Picker and Reactions: The emoji picker and reaction dialogs are now more responsive and visually appealing
- Consistent UI Components: Various UI components, such as buttons, icons, and headers, have been unified and made consistent across the application
- Custom Bottom Sheet: A new custom bottom sheet with fade-in/out animations has been implemented for a smoother user experience
- Visual Polish: Numerous small visual improvements have been made, such as adjusting padding, fixing alignments, and updating icon colors

Obsoleting Signal, the best possible way!
#Amber support is still missing, but not for long.

Amazing work!! Thanks guys!
#Amber support in the next version hopefully! ๐ค
Pink salt is pink because trace mineralsโespecially iron oxide (rust)โare mixed into the salt crystals, giving them a pink to reddish hue. These minerals come from the saltโs natural source (e.g., Himalayan deposits).
TIL. And look at those Himalayan pink salt mines ๐คฏ

Indeed, mine comes from Pakistan.
I didn't know!
Yes I'm going. Always happy to hang out with people who care about free speech.
If you're in Kanto, you can always join one of our Tokyo/Yokohama meetups! (I recommend it). Next one this Saturday 27th in Kamakura. Link below ๐
Let's go for a walk near Tokyo this Saturday Sept. 27!
It has something to do with this, I suppose...
This should be my breakfast...
I might give carnivore diet a try, real soon.

Paying for sushi ๐ฃ in Tokyo, the new way:
They scan your pile of plates with a RFID wand (okay, classic) then they give you this cute little e-ink tablet (that's new ๐ณ) . Credit card Size, more or less.
You can then pay at the cashier, or I suppose scan the QR code. #Japan
I honestly thought it could only get less ugly...
I'm proven wrong, once again ๐
Sounds a bit like satanism but yes, statism is clearly worse.
I hope you'll enjoy the journey, it's not one of the easiest!
I prefer something like Arch Linux. Time is scarce and Gentoo is quite demanding in that regard ๐
Since you seem curious about distros, may I suggest you take a look at #NixOS? The concept is VERY different from any other distribution, you might find it appealing.
GM! โ I jjust migrated from nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7fjgzxw to nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3exx6r9vd4jumt99aex2mrp0yn7plng (I mostly use Nostr on Android) with a lot of joy, and also some hiccups. I'm still glad I did ๐
๐ธ All my previous DMs are encrypted, unreadable in Primal.
๐ธ Can't send new DM to anyone (I've got a bunch of relays). Yes, default DMs are really bad, although Amethyst did address that. nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04ac04xqkm compatibility/standard can't come soon enough to all #Nostr clients, but in the meantime DMs in Primal are completely broken. For me at least, with 2 accounts.
๐ธ I learned that all my previous DMs (for years) from Amethyst to Primal users were most likely never delivered. Not cool :/
๐ธ Primal doesn't show my old bookmark lists (private and public). Now I only have a public bookmark list, and it was blank. (I thought it was a standard "kind 10003" or something). I cannot see other ppl's bookmarks, from Primal.
๐ธ Similarly, my blocked users list is empty as well. I thought those lists would be accessible across clients but maybe no.
๐ธ No way to manage lists of users, or even to display any list I already created (kind 30000 I think). This could be really useful. I hope more clients will implement it.
๐ธ No way to "share" something from an Android app to Primal. A URL for example, when you tap "share" in your web browser.
๐ธ No drafts feature.
๐ธ A few minor bugs.
Pretty sure a lot of this will be implemented or fixed in the future. A lot of this is probably trivial ๐
Maybe some problems are due to using Amber? Seems unlikely but who knows.
On the bright side, with Primal:
๐น Search works great
๐น I love the "Reads" section
๐น UI/UX in general, although lacking some key features, is very slick & enjoyable
๐น Amethyst became a powerful but scary monster with each new update. Those settings... ๐ฃ
OTOH, I can easily recommend Primal to normies and grandmas!
The masochistic steampunk nerd in me will always prefer Amethyst. But for everyday, I'm happy to stick to a #Nostr client for humans ๐
Final thought:
Consider implementing those LISTS OF USERS, public and private, manageable from within the client, and tied to your account, not your client.
Check out #Coracle. #Voyage. #Yakihonne. ...
Thanks to all the devs for their amazing work ๐
That's exactly what I meant in my conclusion ๐
Amethyst is awesome. In its own way.
Germany to introduce "mandatory medical examination" for 18-year-old men to "regain control" over who the country's military can draft in "an emergency," Bild reports.
