## Nostree release note
#### v.0.1.2 "Slug me baby"
https://nostree.me
The new version of nostree (v0.1.2) is loaded with new features, I will try to summarise them all in a nice release note.
The
main changes are list slugs, unique identifiers, docs, more
shareability, the change of kind for lists, and many ux improvements.
This opens up a lot of new possibilities for your lists.
I'm
going to be unpacking this little by little, but before starting I would
like to share the brand new project page on geyser.fund, where you can
help the project to grow, and get candies👀, geyser (nprofile…jp6r) its
awesome

### Let's start
-Slugs:
I find this new feature for nostree very exciting, with it you can use
slugs to identify your lists, this results in very friendly urls, like
for example https://nostree.me/[email protected]/projects , or
https://nostree.me/[email protected]/nostr
Another feature of using
slugs is that you can group several lists together using the same slug
in both lists. For example if you check this link (
nostree.me/[email protected]/nostr ) you will see that there are two
lists, 'Learn nostr', and 'Favorite nostr clients', this is because
these two lists share the same slug, 'nostr'. From my point of view this
brings some very interesting use cases. Tony (nprofile…au3d) looking at you
💡You can change the slug of your lists at any time.
-Unique
ids/naddr links: These are unique urls for your lists, they use nostr
standards (nip19) to work, and compared to slugs they will always point
to a unique list. The use case is simple, you want to share a specific
list, without worrying about matching slugs, or changing the slug for
that list in the future. The urls for these lists are not so friendly,
but in return it will be the unique identifier for your list. For
example:
https://nostree.me/a/naddr1qqkxummnw3ex2efdve3kzetr8qurvttzvcuxvtf5vd3n2tfc8q6rytf4x9jkvetx89skgvfcx5pzqs9eep0ll6hurjkl3sc2fewgses07mjfwxsdcu3at2m8fd0xrdz3qvzqqqr4xy4negad
-More
shareability: Now automatically if your nostr address/nip05 is valid it
will be used in the url, instead of your npub. Also when sharing links
of your page.
-Docs: new docs page to help with questions about
using nostree ( https://nostree.me/docs ) At the moment the docs page
has some sections that I think are the most common questions that may
arise when using nostree. Of course I will be expanding this section, I
welcome any feedback to add more docs.
I've built this docs section
to be modular and to show hints in different parts of the interface, so
if in any section you find an info icon ℹ️ you can click on it to get
help on that specific topic.
-New kind for lists, from now on all
lists will be created with kind30001, so we get more interoperability
with all the protocol.
-Interface improvements: In this version,
several interface improvements have been included to make nostree easier
and more intuitive to use. Among the most notable are the sharing
drawer, which you can find in each list and use to share your list, both
from the slug and the naddr link.
Also the addition of buttons with
info icons to receive hints and tips that can be found in various places
in the interface and will give you useful information.
Another is the addition of an ostrich icon for links prefixed with 'nostr:' to open directly in native clients.
💡Whenever you find the ostrich icon it means that you can open the link in a native client.
Also note that if you have lists in the old format you can always migrate them to the new format from the 'manage list' page.
Finally thanks to nielliesmons (nprofile…yv6k) for the design proposals, and feedback, and to all of you who have been contributing with zaps, feedback, ideas and so on.
