Hey everyone! We're giving away 500,000 satoshis! Nostria together with Angor, is running a feedback contest for our new Nostr client. Nostria is a fresh, feature-packed app built on Nostr, focused on onboarding more people to Nostr. We're looking for your honest thoughts: reply to this post with what you like about Nostria so far, stuff we could improve, features you'd love to see next, or any other ideas that'd make it better. A total of 500,000 satoshis will be given out for the best feedback. There are two ways we'll do this: The first is replying to this message, with your feedback. Please spend some time using Nostria before replying, we will pick the winners in 3 days (Saturday 20th December), each will receive 50,000 each in a zap. The second is joining our Discord and engage directly with feedback there. We will after 30 days (January 16th), pick 5 top community members that will receive 50,000 satoshis each.

Cool! I've downloaded the apk to my Samsung S25, but when I open the app, it sends me to my browser. It kind of sucks, I want an app, not a shortcut to a website. I was able to login using Amber, which is really good. I love the feed and this was something I was looking for. My suggestion is to make the app an app, not a shortcut to the browser. It would also be cool if you listed the github address so the user could easily install it via obtainium. Wish you success, it's good to have multiple good clients!

Thanks for feedback! It's built using web and the app for Android shouldn't be opening up a tab when installed. It will always stay web stack, but that shouldn't matter much when it runs correctly. I'll investigate and test on some Samsung devices. Works fine on Pixel 9 Pro. It's on Zapstore as well, and yes can be downloaded/installed from GitHub releases either directly or obtanium.

Making the Nostr protocol accessible to everyone, with a focus on user experience and performance for global scale. - nostria-app/nostria
Tried to login with my iPhone, doesn‘t work. Is that Android or Desktop only? A mobile App for Apple users will be crucial to gain exposure since hundreds of Million Users are behind that.

Uso #nostria me encantó la app, se puede descargar en #zapstore . Al fin llegó un cliente que satisface mucho. Necesitamos seguir trayendo gente a nostr porque los gobiernos y los enemigos van a querer tener el control de todo. NOSTR es libertad, es tu voz, es tu contenido y nadie te lo va a poder quitar 🫡🫡🫡
Want my honest opinion? The app is awesome, starting with the modern colors of the interface. All the sections are in place and easy to find. I honestly haven't found such a robust and well-made app for Nostr. The work they've done is sensational. I'm very impressed with the app, and from now on, it will be my first choice for logging into Nostr. The only thing I didn't quite understand was the 62 that appears on my profile with a shield. And please, it would be very kind of you to include more languages in your app, such as Spanish. It would be amazing if you could add Spanish to your app. I love that I can see my profile picture at 100% size when I click on it. All the sections are perfectly organized: Create, Content, Media, AI. Your Nostria app is perfect. I'm really pleasantly surprised. I'll always use it. Thank you for creating it. ❤️👏🏻🫶🏻 I love how modern and easy to use it is. We need more apps like this on Nostr for it to be adopted on a massive scale. image
La generación de badges está muy bien. Da mucho juego y genera mucho engagement e interacción. La visión que tengo es la de aplicar nostr a organizaciones. O que las organizaciones apliquen a nostr. De algún modo, generar una derivación de protocolo de nostr dependiente de unas claves privadas de la organización. De manera que sus miembros tuvieran cada uno sus llaves privadas dependientes de la clave privada de la organización y sólo pudieran interactuar entre ellas. De tal modo que tendríamos a los empleados intercambiando informacion en texto a través de esta derivación del protocolo nostr en la que sólo miembros de la organización podrían interactuar. De igual manera, ficheros fotos y demás archivos podrían ser intercambiados y trabajados en este entorno a la vez que videoconferencias y llamadas en nostr. Al final, tendríamos un entorno de trabajo para organizaciones basadas en el protocolo nostr totalmente estancas hacia el exterior. Podríamos valorar los puentes de salida de esta derivación de protocolo que constituye este entorno de trabajo para orgsnizaciones de modo que fueran una serie de puntos de salida (ceo, director de departamento, etc.) quienes pudieran intercambiar información con el resto de protocolo mundial nostr. En otro orden de magnitud, todos aquellos departamentos que tuvieran conexión con el resto de la supply chain para asegurar las opersciones entrarían en contacto en tiempo real con los inventarios, ordenes de compra, venta, etc. a través de automatismos más o menos coordinados por un supervisor humano. Es decir, la clave de esto radica en protocolo nostr global y derivaciones de protocolo nostr para crear compartimentos estancos que permitan a "organizaciones centralizadas" interactuar con sus miembros sobre el protocolo nostr derivado.

Thanks for feedback! In settings you have two options regarding threads. You can turn off the lines, and you can choose to have the threads collapsed (first level) by default. You expand and collapse the threads by clicking on the lines. If you turn off the auto-expand, it will be more like Jumble and less like Reddit. The replies is sorted different order on Nostria and Jumble, the latest comments are on the top (for first level), then replies to replies are sorted oldest to newest.

I attempted to try it. Signed in with my browser extension and then it took about 20 minutes of waiting and multiple page refreshes for anything to actually load in any of the feeds. Once notes started loading, it was not loading everything from my follows. Defaulting to the “for you” feed is a huge turn off. Visually it looks nice and looks like you are planning to support a wide range of nostr features (live streams, NWC, articles, to name a few I saw) but it is completely unusable if nothing loads. I’ll try again in 3-6 months.

Thanks for trying out out and sharing your feedback! First time you login with an existing Nostr account, it will pre-cache all the profiles of people you are following. This will make the initial load for any existing users a bit slower than second uses. This only happens first time, and you can see the 60% progress in this screenshot which shows this loading process. image "For You" is the first feed simply because "Following" is completely empty for new users. "For You" will use the local algorithm, which optimizes your feed based upon your usage patterns. We will continue to optimize for different users, did try login with your account and after the initial load, things worked just fine. You don't have that many following, but a fairly large set of relays, but it works just fine. Sorry you're experience was not optimal, hope you'll check back earlier than 6 months as this whole app has been developed in 6 months. 🤙

Good idea in theory but not in practice? Idk. I’m not a dev. As a user it felt frozen and that feels broken. Nobody will use it if that’s what they experience. Also, what is the benefit of using “premium” and what is the cost? That seemed very vague. Maybe that should be removed until the bugs and performance issues are worked out. Seems you’re desperate for money by having it there right now. These aren’t insults, just telling you bluntly how it is perceived. Looking forward to seeing it with improvements. Good luck!

I'm a bit curious about it taking 20 minutes though, are you on very slow connection? Premium option is there to have it ready for user adoption. There are not many Premium subscribers yet and some functionality that will be Premium, is available to everyone at the moment. It for sure is important to optimize the primary use cases and we have worked a lot on optimization. Made a recording with the experience from your profile. There is a few things that will be improved from this recording: - The initial preload of following profiles will be delayed a few seconds until the feed has loaded. - The "Following" feed is taking some time, because Nostria implements the outbox model. It goes to each individual user's relays to get their profiles, their posts, media, etc. What can be optimized here though, is rendering earlier when results come back, it's loading for too long and not showing much to the user. Keep the feedback coming, much appreciated!
just tested NWC and it works fine! there is an annoying and dangerous bug/behaviour with custom zaps, when you type the amount on the box and you accidentally move the scroll wheel on a mouse (apple magic mouse) the amount just moves up or down really fast and out of control....
I’ve spent some time using Nostria and I really like how clean the UI feels. Onboarding is mostly smooth, although it did take a while to load the first time I opened the app. I attached a short video so you can see what I mean. I really like the built-in translation too. It’s super helpful for a global network like Nostr. With some other clients, I usually have to copy posts out of the app just to translate them, so this makes things easier. One thing that could be better is the home feed. Things like better search, trending posts, or topic based feeds would help a lot with discovering content, especially for new users.

That's fairly slow to load on your device and network. At least it won't take that long next time, at least not if you install it as a web app on your device. Then it will launch the already downloaded web app first, and begin updating to next version in the background. More ways to discover will come. Will investigate more into improving load times, it's not supposed to take that long, even on a slow connection.

New account on-boarding gets the job done, though it doesn't warn the user to store a backup of their nsec or the seed phrase provided in the credentials section. Probably need to add in a optional guided tour of the features of Nostria. On-boarding should also let the user choose the kinds of reported content they want to hide or not; most users will always likely stick with default settings and never change them. The built in badge editor is a nice touch As far as upselling, Johnny Racecar probably wouldn't care for much more than a NIP-05 & maybe push notifications, so there's likely room for a third cheaper tier. Analytics is almost purely for commercialization and clout chasers, the value add is probably too niche, but someone would welcome it.

↩ replying to Milo
Analytics is brand new and something we're working on. Earlier feedback from other people has shown that that is exactly one of the features they are willing to pay for. After 5 launches, there is a small notification that explains about push notifications. Will add a similar "guide" for backup of the private key. Cheaper tier could be an option, perhaps people would be more willing to gift subscriptions to their friends and stranger then? What do you think about the ability to gift a subscription?
I am using it on the web, although the initial load took more than I would expect (1m+), I was very pleased with the blurry translucent design and fluidity. Btw I used it with brave mobile.

aquí vamos... login con Amber, concedido con todos los permisos y aun asi me pedía en ocaciones firmar, tambien en ocasiones dejaban de funcionar los submenú de configuración 👀, en el apartado de relés mejorarlo, añadir relés de mensajes de forma predeterminado como los demás que se muestran, el servicio de mensajes no me funcionó, y muestra una fecha errónea de la última vez en línea del usuario con el cual quieres contactar y no envía los mensajes; genial que se pueda traducir los textos es algo esencial para mi, y que se guarden los borradores🆒 y un punto en contra para mi que se ejecute en el navegador, preferiría una app robusta pero rápida Mejoraría que al responder o hacer repost añadir un color diferente al ítem, ya que no queda claro, tal como hacen con los likes. El menú algoritmo genial, súper el menú privacidad, muy elegante la forma de postear 😁 badge editor 🤯 no lo probé pero genial que este implementado, el conteo de zaps brutal, la medición de quienes postean los que mas conectan contigo esta a nivel extremo 🥸, si la siguen puliendo y haciendolo mas fácil aún cumplirán el objetivo de traer mas personas a nostr y que se queden por la facilidad de usar su app que es su propósito, están en el camino a ser una superapp, lfg
I have some feedback about the UI. 1. It looks so good if you can increase the navbar width a bit. 2. The space between notes and the navbar does not look good for me on big screens. Maybe you could decrease the two-sided space of the notes section and add some X padding/margin to the two sides of the whole page.
The app runs smoothly when scrolling through posts. I created a poll but couldn’t see it on my profile, so I was wondering if that’s a premium feature. It will image also be nice to have options like pinned posts, though I’m not sure how possible that is with Nostr. Overall, Nostria feels polished and easy to use.

If you tag somebody in a note and then remove them it sticks around at the 'Mentioning:' below the note. Even when creating a new Note it is shown. I hard refresh eventually gets rid of it.

First impressions, this feels smooth. It loads fast and I have not run into any glitches so far. One thing I noticed while creating a note. When I tap the image icon, it only lets me pick images. I expected it to show both images and videos so I could choose what to upload. Am I missing something here, or is there another way to attach a video to a note? image
