#NoorNote shows quoted reposters right there in the reply section of a note. They're sorted chronologically, just like the regular replies. You can spot them because there's a pink, clickable line above that says "[user name] quoted this note." Click on it, and you'll jump straight to the quoted repost. If that's not enough for you, you can dive into detailed note analytics. It's in the same line where the zaps and likes and all that are, on the right. You see who replied, with a direct link to their reply. You see who zapped, with a link to their profile. You see who reposted, who did a quoted repost, and who liked with which emoji. Basically everything.

I compared a few key signers, did a little side-by-side on them. What really surprised me is that some browser add-ons just store the user's nsec in plain text right in the browser's local storage, where it could be read by other add-ons! No such problems with #NoorSigner, since it runs locally in the file system and talks to the #NoorNote client over Unix socket IPC. That said, it came out that NoorSigner was using the weaker XOR encryption instead of the more secure AES. And I fixed that up today, it'll be in the next release, insh'Allah.

Just dropped a new release of NoorNote (v0.2.14). It's got a bunch of bug fixes and stability improvements. Some of the highlights: - Way more reliable multi-account switching - Bookmark lists now sync the folder structure too - Minor bug fixes for the NWC string and crash logs Plus, a little note for Mac users: Since I'm not a licensed MacOS developer, your Mac might whine about the app being "damaged," but that's not actually the case. Once you've copied the app into your Applications folder, just fire up Terminal and run xattr -cr /Applications/Noornote.app and it'll launch normally after that. Download the latest release here:

Get notified about new articles from your favorite authors Some Nostr clients let you know about new long-form articles from people you follow. And that can mean a bunch of notifications piling up if you've got a long follow list. And honestly, most of those articles aren't really your thing. So you're basically left choosing between getting slammed with all of them or just shutting off article notifications entirely. But if a handful of your favorite authors drop a long-form article, you want to hear about it. That's when you want a notifocation. #NoorNote can do that. Just open up the note menu for that person (you know, the one with the three dots) and click 'Notify on new articles'. Next time they publish a long-form article, you'll get a notification.

Time for a fresh start. This used to be Islamic Marketplace's Nostr profile. Now it's [mslm dvlpmnt]'s, the company that built IM and some other projects. You know, kinda like how Meta handles Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, but not so corporate and with way less cash behind it. 😎 The newest, most up-to-date project is NN & NS. I'll post releases and other stuff about it here.

Time to admit it: Islamic Marketplace has failed. It simply didn't catch on with the Muslims. But we're not giving up, another approach is already in development. Decentralized, P2P, not domain-based, and completely self-sovereign. It'll take a few more months before we can show something. But we're staying on it insh'Allah.

2-year anniversary today. And not a step further.

This is a powerful reminder in one of the lectures of Nouman Ali Khan about some Ayahs of Al Imran in which the avoidance of Riba is directly equated with Taqwa (staring at minute 2:40). It's also interesting that the video editor placed an image of Bitcoin at this point. I don't know how he means it, but I am seeing this for the first time in his lectures. Perhaps we are slowly getting the message across to the people, alhamdulillah.

"In pre-Islamic Arabia, the Byzantine gold dinar, Persian silver dirhami, and copper fals (or fels; pl. falus or fulus) were used as coins. The value of both dinar and dirham was determined by their metal content (but not the fals). Coinage was not issued by a government authority, and minting coins was in the hands of private individuals. Disputes regarding weight and quality caused loss of economic efficiency; it did, however, provide competition and thus consumer choice. In the early Islamic Empire, Muslims continued to use Byzantine coins, but over time they outlawed the use of these coins and centralized the production of an Islamic dinar and dirham." - Islam Economics Sounds familiar, right?
