Coming up next: NoorNote Tribes After I have already introduced the feature rich follow and bookmark lists in #NoorNote, the next release will include a new feature based on NIP 51 lists: Tribes. These are essentially loose sets of various users that you can group into specific groups (Tribes). It does not matter whether you already follow them or not. The definition of Tribes happens similarly to bookmarks in Folders (categories). For this, you can define a Tribe Folder (=category name) with Tribes and combine different users in a comma separated list with Members and assign them to a specific Tribe. You can also just enter npubs. When you click on the Tribe Folder, you then see your Tribe Members as user cards. And of course, the synchronization from and to the local file and from and to the relays works just like with the bookmarks. As usual, you can set in the settings whether you want to handle the synchronization manually or let NoorNote take over the work for you. WHAT IS THIS GOOD FOR? Well, I can imagine many use cases for Tribes in the future. The first and simplest case would be a timeline consisting only of the posts from the people in a Tribe. That is already implemented, but not yet obviously accessible, because this feature is still in alpha state and I want to observe it over a longer period. And here comes another feature that you do not know about yet: You can also access certain URLs via the search function. For this, click on Search or fire CMD+K on Mac and enter '/tribes' in the search bar. ... and you land in the view of the Tribe Timelines At the top in the tab bar, you see your defined Tribes and below that the timeline consisting of posts from the members of this Tribe. As mentioned, Tribes are coming in the next release so you can already experiment with them.

Did you know you can also just repost images with #NoorNote? Imagine you find a cool picture, but the author wrote something you don't want to share. But you still want to post the picture and add your own comment. Here's how to do it. 1. Open the picture in full view. 2. Click the share icon. 3. The note editor will open with the image and a link to the original poster. 4. Add your own text if you want, preview it, and then post it.

#NoorNote doesn't just imitate other clients, it's got new features too. Like extended profiles facilitating NIP-51 bookmark lists (width categories), and kind 30078 events for storing client specific data under NIP-78. To pull that off, you head over to your bookmarks and create whatever categories you want, and NoorNote maps them to folders. You can use your normal bookmarks or you can make custom bookmarks just like in web browsers, with a URL and description. Or if you've already got some, you drag and drop them into different folders to sort and categorize everything. You can tweak the order of bookmarks inside a folder too, just by dragging them around. And if you want to share a few with other people, you just tick the "Profile" checkbox on that folder, and your list gets mounted to your profile page. Basically, you can put anything you like onto your profile: your portfolio, a playlist, your top notes that you don't want buried in the timeline, a shopping wish list, you name it. Right now, only NoorNote handles this, but it's all built on existing NIPs, so any other client could support it too if they wanted.
