The NIP-46 flow is signer-agnostic, so it works with any remote NIP-46 signer β Amber, Primal, nsec.app, Keys.band, etc. A QR code is shown for easy mobile scanning. π Unified Signer Plumbing Amber and nostrconnect logins are now wired into the shared signer utilities (useLoginActions, useCurrentUser, and signerUtils.getUserSigner()). Every existing code path that already used the unified signer for nsec, extension, or bunker logins now also works for signer-based logins. Several spots that still called window.nostr directly were updated to use the shared signer, including list utilities, dashboard Nostr utilities, post writing, and NIP-42 auth. π Relay Cleanup Stale relays were removed from all relay lists and fallbacks across the dashboard, including relay.damus.io and wss://relay.nostr.net. Default search and publish relays now consistently use wss://nos.lol and wss://relay.primal.net. The shared NPool is cached at module level so bunker and nostrconnect logins reuse a single connection pool instead of opening fresh WebSocket connections on every signer call. π οΈ Android & Older WebView Compatibility Added an AbortSignal.any() polyfill for older Android WebViews that don't support it, which previously broke every nostrconnect login with AbortSignal.any is not a function. The Signer tab also reorders the login options to promote the reliable NIP-46 flow first, while the NIP-55 on-device flow is clearly marked experimental because Chrome's IntentDispatcher doesn't always return the redirect after Amber approval. π My Rooms Reliability Fixed the My Rooms page rendering an empty list even when the signed-in user owned rooms. It now fetches kind 30312 events directly from the relay's /api/events endpoint and parses room fields from tags, avoiding the broken /api/rooms-by-pubkey route. Diagnostics were also added for unexpected response shapes so relay compatibility issues are visible instead of silently failing. π§ͺ Testing & Infrastructure Added a gsd-browser end-to-end test script that exercises Amber, nsec, and extension login plus signing round-trips against a local dev server. A scripts/BROWSER_TESTING.md guide documents what each test covers, how the transports are mocked, and the gotchas discovered while building the suite. A reverse proxy server was also added for public Amber testing routes. π§Ή Bug Fixes & Polish - Fixed nostrconnect session race conditions and stale state when the login dialog is closed and reopened. - Guarded all async login handlers against setState calls on unmounted components. - Replaced the shared loading boolean with per-method loadingMethod state so a long Amber wait no longer disables the other login tabs. - Deduplicated relay list constants and moved search relays to a single PUBLIC_SEARCH_RELAYS env variable. - Added an accessible aria-label to the nostrconnect QR code. - Restored the production start script and added start:proxy for the dev proxy server.

Unread state is now correctly baselined from first visit so the badge shows the right count. π
Add Calendar downloads When an event is created on HiveTalk Dashboard, a .ics event is now available for download. π Room Status Active rooms now show lock, lobby, and mute-on-join status icons with hover tooltips. Mute-on-join persists across rejoin so moderators always see the correct state. π‘οΈ Clearer Room Permissions Ephemeral rooms explain that moderator controls require a permanent room. Guests now always see a "You are a guest" notice regardless of room type, and ephemeral notices appear in the Moderation tab for all participants. ποΈ Safer Room Deletion Room deletion now requires typing the room name and cleans up associated room data. Owner token minting and cascade-delete ordering are fixed so cleanup succeeds reliably, with clearer failure messaging. π¬ Improved Chat Controls The chat composer has cleaner controls, and messages can now be sent by pressing Enter. π HiveTalk Branding The HiveTalk logo and wordmark now appear in the meeting settings panel. π Automatic Release Notes The "What's New" card now loads the latest published release notes automatically from GitHub. π Relay & Infrastructure The default Nostr relay has been switched from relay.damus.io to relay.nostr.net across the codebase. LiveKit API proxies have been hardened with regression coverage, and responsive styles and room joins have been restored. π€ Pre-Join & Username New users see their pubkey prefix as a default username on the PreJoin page. Camera and mic selections from PreJoin are now preserved when entering the room. Fallback usernames no longer override edited names. π§Ή UI Cleanup Stale "Latest Updates: May 2026" and "New Β· Lock, Lobby" badges have been removed. The broken Top Rooms link is hidden while the underlying endpoint is being fixed. Compact toasts have been restored. π Security XSS mitigations added to Active Rooms tiles. Dependency vulnerabilities resolved. Allowed origins updated to support wildcard domains. Special thanks to @Yeghro and @ButtercupRobrts Release and Reviewer - @bitkarrot #updates npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk Hivetalk Summer '26 Stage 2 release notes Audience Mode, Reactions & Expandable Menu π Audience Mode + Raise Hand Per-room audience mode toggle. Audience members get canPublish=false, canPublishData=true (they can chat/react but not broadcast audio/video). Stage members (owner/mod/promoted speakers) keep full publish grants. Promote/demote uses LiveKit UpdateParticipant for live grant changes with no reconnect, AND persists stage membership to DB so grants survive reconnect/refresh/token regen. Toggling audience mode mid-room iterates current participants and updates their grants live, with a broadcast data message for immediate UI sync. β Raise Hand lk.raisehand topic carries { event, participant_identity, pubkey?, display_name? } β LiveKit identity is used for tile mapping and promote actions, pubkey only for profile display. β indicator on tiles + a moderator queue list in RoomControls with "Bring to stage" action. Twitter-Spaces-style layout: stage tiles in grid, audience as a compact avatar strip; verified on small mobile screens. π Emoji Reactions on Tiles lk.reactions topic { emoji, participant_identity } renders a floating emoji overlay on the sender's tile that fades over ~4s. Client-side rate-limited. Reuses the EmojiPickerPopover from Stage 1 with a limited reaction set. β Expandable "^" Vertical Menu New ExpandableMenu replaces the leave slot in the custom control bar. A chevron "^" expands upward into a vertical list: Raise Hand, Reactions (mini emoji popup), and Leave (red, destructive style). Sits above the video layer and transparent chat layer with top z-index; works within the existing mobile floating pill bar CSS. special thanks to @buttercup @yeghro Sooly, Tomekk , Reed, Tigs and AJ for helping out with testing #updates npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk Hivetalk Whoever it was that SUPERCHARGED our #ZapGoal to reach this monthβs goal THANK YOU! πβ¨ npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk Hivetalk Thanks π₯π npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk Hivetalk Are you seeing the epic feature weβre bringing to Hivetalk?
