I've made a nostr & https://hashtree.cc native Chromium fork "Iris Browser". It has in-built NIP-07. It shares files and sites p2p, no need for blossom servers. It has adblock, you can watch youtube without ads.

But I think I'll need a threadripper build server because build time is a major development bottleneck 😅 Takes hours on a 64gb 14 core mac mini.

amethyst (nprofile…wywf) : 21/10 - This app has EVERYTHING nostr. Sometimes it's too much but better than too little.

#Ditto ( Alex Gleason (nprofile…g58a) there is no official npub for the app communication ?) 7/10 - this one has awesome design and advanced theming, love this. Also a lot of features, not as much as Amethyst but some cool exclusive ones the I almost don't us. But at usage it's s bit slow and crashy, also I get lost looking for a basic function sometimes.

What about #Iris ? Still in the game ?

I tried to find it again, but this was common about 8 months ago or so. I remember seeing 3 or 4 users with issues because of those rules. I am not sure if they are still around. But I can see this growing, since each app now has its own Nostr sub-community. With 40,000 relays now, things are starting to diversify beyond the standard kind 1 use cases, finally.

2026-10-04T00:29:37Z

Amethyst users and Primal users can't communicate with each other, except from a root kind 1 note. Amethyst uses kind 1111 and NIP-17. Primal uses kind 1 and NIP-04. This heavily affects communication, as an example, between me and PPQdotAI (nprofile…qagl)

So Nostr has already split in two, and that's not a good thing.

ZapStore will have 3 re-writes before iOS allows a non-Apple App Store.

quoting
nevent1q…p39m
Zapstore v2 is becoming almost a full rewrite. The clankers, pip (nprofile…azl0) and franzap (nprofile…a8ff) have been going hard on development (but mostly systems design) for many weeks now.

It is the first time I can say everything *actually* makes sense. We have a cohesive product story that is reflected in every project that constitutes it.

Including how we communicate it. It's a freedom tech product, not just a nostr one anymore.

This is why I'm quite silent, and why there are no incremental updates. The whole product will be launched at once.

We can finally push features we've been asked for, for ages. I'm particularly excited about the new privacy and security features. Publishing and discovery as well.

The new website is looking hot. Not only way faster but more clear. No more ambiguities around rules for publishing.

I have also taken time to sharpen tools and operations, many are now agent-first (public and internal). And app releases should happen more often.

Fortunately, it seems we won't have many migration or backward-compatibility issues.

Hard work, probably a million decisions taken already to reshape this in the right direction. Excited for what the future holds.

If you have tested or are using the new version of WhiteNoise, go check your outbox relay lists configuration to make sure they have not changed.

WhiteNoise is automatically rewriting your relay list with their relays, but their relays don't accept any event but chat ones, which breaks everything.

WhiteNoise relays should only be in the DM Relay List, not anywhere else in your Amethyst relay lists.

I recovered most of my notes and followers list but when I try to repost some of my lost post by using other client and copy them in Amethyst I can not see them in my profile. The reactions and notifications about them are active but it's invisible. They have links of JPG. What's wrong with them? I still can not see my followers in the side bar but in the profile page they are visible.

2026-10-03T11:47:02Z

⚡️💬 FLASH - I’m going to be honest and share my thoughts on the Nostr ecosystem, specifically the apps I’ve tried.

damus (nprofile…pcd3) : 6/10. It lets me see all my notifications, but overall, I don’t like the user interface or the font used.

YakiHonne (nprofile…vnlh) : 5/10. It lets me read secure private messages, but the app is generally slow, which ruins the user experience. You have to tap twice to like a post, and the name needs to be changed—I think it’s very poorly chosen.

primal (nprofile…54wh) : 7/10. This is the app I use the most—it's the fastest—but its development is very slow: you have to wait nearly a year before you can add GIFs. Plus, adding the "Read" category to the bottom bar is pointless: in two years, I've never read a single "read."

nostrich (nprofile…fvca) : 4/10. The design is gorgeous. But the app is still just a prototype—or even unusable. It's IMPOSSIBLE to delete the wallet, and the app is extremely slow.

Nostur (nprofile…668f) : 4/10. I can't find anything good about it. Overall, it's inferior in every way, and I don't like the ergonomics.

Jumble (nprofile…fynw) : 8/10. This is the best web app: I can split the screen in half and keep track of my notifications while scrolling through my news feed. It's really too bad there isn't a mobile app.

Coracle (nprofile…w524) : 2/10. I haven't used that interface since 2024–2025. I hated the color scheme and the interface.

amethyst (nprofile…s096) : ?/10. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this because I've never tried it. The app is available exclusively on Android.

I encourage all of you to keep up the good work and listen to user feedback. Now, with Claude and cie, I think we’ll see some great things in the future.
