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. Just give Nostria a solid try first before leaving your feedback.

GM! I've been giving Nostria a solid try, and I'm genuinely impressed with the speed and the focus on simplicity. It feels like a strong step toward onboarding new users. Here's my honest feedback, organized by what works and what could be improved for new users: What I Love (Strengths for Onboarding) Sleek UI/UX: The interface is clean, modern, and doesn't feel overwhelming like some other clients. Specifically, the [mention a positive design element, e.g., 'bottom navigation bar' or 'default theme'] makes it feel familiar and easy to navigate. Smooth Key Management: The process of setting up or importing keys was [e.g., 'very intuitive' or 'fast and easy']. This is a huge win for reducing the initial setup friction. Discovery: The [mention a specific discovery feature, e.g., 'recommended relays' or 'trending topics'] is great for immediately giving new users something to read or interact with. Areas for Improvement (Focus on the New User) Glossary/Tooltips: For true onboarding, new users need to understand terms like "Relay," "NIP-05," and "Zap." I recommend [e.g., 'adding context-sensitive tooltips that define key Nostr terms'] on first exposure. Initial Relay Management: While discovery is good, I think the app could default to [e.g., 'fewer, more reliable relays initially'] to ensure a faster first load time, which is critical for new users' first impressions. Post-Setup Guided Tour: After setup, a simple, non-intrusive 3-step tour showing "How to Post," "How to Zap," and "How to Follow" would drastically lower the barrier to entry. Features I'd Love to See Next Simple Pinned Post Creation: An easy way for new users to create a 'Profile Introduction' post that is automatically pinned to their profile, helping them introduce themselves to the community. Built-in Sats Wallet Feature: Full wallet integration (even if basic) directly within the app, allowing users to e.g., 'instantly withdraw earned zaps to their lightning wallet without leaving the client. Keep up the great work! This client has serious potential. 🚀

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!

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.

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.
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....

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?

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.

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
