Hello Plebs, I was able to fetch the usernames and profile images of the npubs of the fetched notes for my #NostNomi client. Also, I was able to make the UI a bit better. I will make it alive step by step. :-) But there is a big trouble for me that I am worrying too much about, as this is the rainy season. It is my broken, leaking roof. It is leaking when it rains and making my home like a river. It is too hard. If you are able, please consider helping me with value for value (V4V) for replacing my roof to get rid of rain. Even your repost is a very huge help for me. To be honest, I am unable to save that much in #bitcoin in the short term. I just need to get rid of the rain and do my work without stress. Proof of my roof when it rains and the geyser link are below.

Hello Fellow Nostriches! I started to make a #Nostr client. The name is NostNomi. I am still a very basic Nostr developer with a basic knowledge. It takes time. But I do my best to make it better day by day. For now I was able to fetch the messages from relays as the first step. I will keep you updated. I will let you know when I need help with #asknostr. Let's spread Nostr! image Stack sats, Zap for the Plebs, Save in #Bitcoin.
