I had to squeeze in a quick update because some things were bugging me too much. 1. That never-ending issue with the video player. First off, native HTML. No full screen in Tauri or Safari, so I switched to a pro player. But that one doesn't show thumbnail images at all, or it shows them at first and then they vanish a few seconds later. Now, back to native HTML (which does show thumbnail images) plus a custom fullscreen button. Looks and feels solid now. 2. Bug in Tribes: The sync between browser and local file was causing tribes to duplicate. Fixed. 3. First pull request! From npub17jj948ae23uy3q7z2rwau9f2y5xsnc62g49xncyj2gfy0tndx7nsl25kx3. He figured out you can use NoorNote in the browser too. You can actually pull it up at the local host on port three thousand while it's running. But, it wasn't built with that in mind. The desktop app still gets top priority. Now, in the browser, NS doesn't work, but regular browser extensions do. Yousif added that, so you can log in through the browser now. Everything else in browser mode is still untested for now. 4. Hashtags They've been seriously overlooked before, but now they're clickable. And it kicks off a search for other notes with the same hashtag. Plus, it lets you subscribe to that hashtag so you get notified when new notes pop up with it. And you can manage your subscribed hashtags in the settings, unsubscribe, or add new ones. I could see expanding this in the future to regular search terms too (without the # sign in front).
New NoorNote release is out: 0.3.1 Comes with: ⭐ Tribes! (beta), (described in the previous post) ⭐ Follower counts in the profile - pretty accurate, of course it depends a bit on the relays you use. ⭐ Open views in right pane setting (Settings -> UI Settings) ⭐ Global shortcut catch removed (caused problems with other apps) ⭐ Bug fix in the display of video preview images. ... and a bunch of other small improvements and bug fixes.
Coming up next: NoorNote Tribes After I have already introduced the feature rich follow and bookmark lists in #NoorNote, the next release will include a new feature based on NIP 51 lists: Tribes. These are essentially loose sets of various users that you can group into specific groups (Tribes). It does not matter whether you already follow them or not. The definition of Tribes happens similarly to bookmarks in Folders (categories). image For this, you can define a Tribe Folder (=category name) with Tribes and combine different users in a comma separated list with Members and assign them to a specific Tribe. You can also just enter npubs. When you click on the Tribe Folder, you then see your Tribe Members as user cards. image And of course, the synchronization from and to the local file and from and to the relays works just like with the bookmarks. image As usual, you can set in the settings whether you want to handle the synchronization manually or let NoorNote take over the work for you. image WHAT IS THIS GOOD FOR? Well, I can imagine many use cases for Tribes in the future. The first and simplest case would be a timeline consisting only of the posts from the people in a Tribe. That is already implemented, but not yet obviously accessible, because this feature is still in alpha state and I want to observe it over a longer period. And here comes another feature that you do not know about yet: You can also access certain URLs via the search function. For this, click on Search or fire CMD+K on Mac and enter '/tribes' in the search bar. image ... and you land in the view of the Tribe Timelines image At the top in the tab bar, you see your defined Tribes and below that the timeline consisting of posts from the members of this Tribe. As mentioned, Tribes are coming in the next release so you can already experiment with them.
