The website should be a bit snappier now and manage relays slightly more intelligently (which still is not very intelligent, but progress is progress).
Nosta profiles now show Pinstr boards (). image Example profile: Boards are only rendered from the nos.lol relay, because that's the only one Pinstr currently checks, and Nosta links out to the site for board details. No dead links this way. That will be updated when Pinstr updates relay handling (already discussed it). Nosta now renders about 20 different kinds. People can be active in so many different ways, so hopefully everyone can have a unique and personal profile that reflects their interests.
Nosta now renders calendars and events. image Not many profiles use this feature yet. Here's an example: As with other content, Nosta is just showing the info. Interacting with calendar and events, scheduling your own, etc, is left up to dedicated third-party clients (micro apps). These events link out to Flockstr at the moment, but hopefully there will be more adoption of recommended handlers, and then users are linked out to the service of their choice.
Profiles now show your latest 2 posts (short-form notes), and your latest article (long-form note). Lots of people don't do anything else on Nostr, so they look pretty empty without these notes. So this addition should make it easier to learn about people and what they care about. image An example:
image Did you see the "Who is bitcoin" video? If you enjoy this grumpy puppet who just wants to make money better, there's now a new Nosta theme for you. Check it out.
Not sure what to do on Nostr? When you're logged in, your Nosta profile now shows a small box at the bottom that looks like this: image Click it, and you see something like this: image The tips are of course based on what events the site found for your profile (or more accurately, what it didn't find). You can click each tip to get redirected to nostrapp.link to a list of apps that support this specific activity. This should help especially new users to find stuff to do. It's not perfect though. Apart from some usual testing and tweaking that is always needed on a new feature, not enough apps are listed on nostrapp.link. If you are an app developer, please post the required NIP-89 events to make your service discoverable. And make sure the description is really clear for newcomers. kthxbye
