I was thinking about writing a medium-sized blog to explain my thought process on the broader app development ecosystem on Nostr.
Instead, I decided to create a meme. I think it explains it well.
In the next AppCore update, I'll focus on enhancing the notes section. I've added markdown support, on-device encryption with password or biometrics, and might include an option to post on Nostr as a note or long-form.
I'm also working on a markdown editor. Meanwhile, you'll be able to paste or upload your Obsidian files.
AppCore Performance Testing
By moving all compute-intensive tasks off the main thread. The latest "installed app" list loads in the background asynchronously, while the "pinned apps" are cached and displayed instantly within milliseconds.
This means virtually no loading time, regardless of how many apps you have installed or pinned.
I also performed a comparison with a app found on the Play Store, which offers some simpler functionalities.
Testing Environment: Medium-spec testing devices with 250+ popular apps installed. Both apps were used and then force closed (cache not cleared).
Results: The difference is strikingβapproximately 20 seconds vs. less than 1 second.

I was just talking to a friend from India, and he mentioned that the largest crypto exchange in India, WazirX, was hacked a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he lost a large portion of his savings and investments.
They aren't even sure if it was really a hack or if the founders just stole the money, founders have already left the country.
Moral of the story: Not your keys, not your coins.
