Nostr Web Client

I have many artist friends who are tied to instagram (but interested in #nostr ) and i’m sure this kind of client can be a good incentive for them to try it out 🤙✨.

Here goes the feedback by sections:

HOME SCREEN

- In the home feed we see both people we follow and people we don’t follow, but there is no way for us to curate our feed to choose if we only want to see our follows and not have other stuff cluttering your feed. It could be useful to be able to choose between your follows vs a kind of web-of-trust (follows of my follows) vs “global feed” with “no filtering” (which is what it currently feels like).

- The filtering of good quality and low quality sounds interesting, but not knowing who from our follows uses which, we’re inclined to leave it at low quality to make sure we don’t leave people we follow out of the feed (which did happen on the high quality filter)

- Also, when people are sharing photos or art, they use hashtags since it’s the best discoverability resource we have for the moment on nostr, but hashtags serve no functionality on olas. Could be something that would be useful to follow so you can also fill your feed according to the hashtags you’re interested in.

- Bookmarking isn’t implemented (as it informs)

IMAGE LOADING SECTION:

-Tried uploading a video and it made the app crash.

- Posted a picture but it doesn’t appear on other clients 😅.

VIDEO FEED

- Some videos work, but for other we simply get a logo (kinda like the quicktime logo) and it remains that way.

- Clicking on the person’s name takes us to the profile, but there are not the pics that they post and there follower count is trapped in 1.5k for everyone and their followings at 890.

OUR OWN PROFILE:

The follower count trap also happens in our own profile.

Also, When going to our own profile, our photos and videos don’t appear. In the case of our nostr:npub13et0mc3kanted8mfkqulh7t8ckqgmzt6ngkl79dlq5tvrw6r8vcsvfq4va ⁤⁣ friends, the only photos they see in their own profile pics is the “portada” from the yakihonne videos they’s put up.

Also saw that the wallet section is only for mints and there is no option for nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm or other lightning addresses, which could be useful since ecash is still new to many in the nostr community.

GENERALLY

The only thing i missed from day one of trying Olas was the ability to search for people, specially since we didn’t know why some people where on our feed, and wanted to find directly some of the people we wanted to check out at that moment.

In any case, hope this feedback is useful. I have a lot a respect for the work Pablo is doing and only wish to relay some thoughts that can help with the user experience as an insta user that doesn’t want to use insta anymore 😅

CHEERS, and thank you for the great work.💜

Adding to this (not really an insta user but maybe a general comment) - on Android the login page is literally a box without any text and a login button + "new to nostr".

I assume it wants an nsec but no way in hell I'm pasting my nsec into a general empty box. So no login for me I guess.

Would love support for Amber.

I'd love for best practices around login and feed filters to become common across apps. If those things aren't there, the apps become way less usable and more prone to people checking it out for a second and dropping off immediately. In this case understand it's a total beta (alpha?) app, but my personal sense was that Olas was kind of launched as an instagram killer (maybe I'm too hopeful) and well... it feels like it needs even more basic nostr plumbing at this point, let alone having me want to show this to any random instagram user as an alternative ...

Same here, total respect for you nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft - keep on building and hope these thoughts help.

0. Detect a problem in a recent commit.

1. Revert back to an old git commit when you messed up a few patches.

2. Forget about a detail changed in the old commit relevant to the build.

3. Spend way more time debugging the rolled-back commit to find the detail compared to what it would cost me to fix the original problem.

4. Profit?

This is NOT #FITS - Git and my poor development standards own my time.

If every company started putting massive amounts of bitcoin on their balance sheets, wouldn’t you expect their stock to go up as well? Not saying you should or shouldn’t invest in stocks, but isn’t what we’re witnessing with Microstrstegy the expected outcome?

Sovereign Origin 🥕 1y ago

Yes, to some extent.

I mean, in the case of MSTR it's not just putting it on their balance sheets with excess cash (although that's one part), it's also the almost degenerate leveraging + the "volatility transformer machine" that Saylor is building. I don't think just any company will build the speculative attack to that level.

Love the fiat shorting though, let them print (shares & fiat). 21M only.

Is it a blessing or a curse to feel everything so deeply? The only way out is through. You take more of the thing that poisons you until you turn it into a tonic that girdles the world around you.
