Plume

GM #nostr - you're all awesome 👌 Just in case you haven't been told already today 😀

Should be doing these announcements from the Plume account, really. Yes, discovery just got a whole load easier on Plume. Even visitors who haven't logged in get to see the kinds of content that are listed on nostr. Here's the mobile view; View quoted note →

🥳 The mobile rendering is below this: View quoted note →

Not bad, the last 24 hours has yielded the following; The revamped conversation modal now loads, renders and refocuses near instantly, as opposed to 8-10 seconds. The follow packs now have an individual follow selected button in each pack, rather than having to scroll all the way to the bottom. Shorts have been redesigned so on desktop they appear in 3 columns, on tablets 2 columns and on mobile, one. There's more to add there, like reactions per video, zaps per video etc. That's for another day. Now, next is a feed fix. I added bugs the other day. Once that's fixed, I'll be adding new content discovery methods to the main feed. The idea is to surface some of the other stuff people do, besides posting notes, otherwise this protocol is just ntr amd that's rubbish.

Not much in the way of changes the last few days as @Matt is a crippled old man. Still, Plume now features proper categorised lists. The back ups function has been adjusted to account for these new lists as well. Up and coming in the next day or two is a fix for the conversation modal and improving the public, not logged in, profile viewer....then.... A big shake up to the feed. We're really all about content discovery with Plume so there's going to be a whole new way to see the things that people do on #nostr - can't wait to make that real. Happy Sunday everyone 🥳

Busy day. Fixed outbox model so your relays are now pulled and used on log in. In the event you don't have relays set or you're a new user it defaults to the pre set relays. Fixed websocket connections when switching between tabs - now closes connections when they're no longer needed. Upgraded the music and podcast tab contents with new styling in keeping with the site. Upgraded photography, market, music and podcast tabs to progressively render content as it loads, leading to a much cleaner user experience, dramatically cutting delays, usually. Also updated tabs in profile view to progressively render objects as they load. Also updated public profile view (the pre log in one) to do the same, and broke it. That's a problem for tomorrow. Oops. 😂

It's true, public profile searches are now a thing on Plume. Just give someone your NIP05 tell them to pop over to plume.website and they don't even have to log in or create an account, they can look you up amd see what you do on this protocol 🥳💪🙏 #nostr #grownostr View quoted note →

Not much done yesterday except working on the profile pages - they were rendering notes, then vanishing them, then showing them, then vanishing them, then showing them for a final time. It was soon sorted, but updates to rendering overall have slowed and are occasionally glitchy. The long term plan is a relay dedicated to profile pages so that Plume always uses its best resource first. Now, I've got a whole load of tasks to complete from UI improvements and new features. At least enough work for the next two weeks.

And, despite a few minor set backs, it's done. Feed types now render at the top of the feed area, instead of the side menu, leaving that to be all about account management etc. Much better. Now, digging in to some profile rendering issues and then, probably, improving the conversation modal view. View quoted note →

So yesterday Plume finally got media uploads! 🥳 It's about time, tbf, but until I started to build this I had no clue how many different components go in to making a site like this. So, next on the roadmap, really, needa to be a UI update. The menu is too huge. We need to separate out certain elements so they make more sense.
