Again: some windows dependency hell blocks new release of FUTR. I really hate windows, how can anyone seriously use this crap? It's like trying to use a spear as a chair.

Before and after screen recordings of FUTR, the nostr client:
New - fast and easy scroll (~50 times faster):
Old - scrolling large feeds can easily freeze the application:
Available for testing on continuous release. I'm going to hit release button later today.

Lots of manual testing, Bugfixes and cleanup today. Looks good for 0.4 release, maybe tomorrow if no further blocker pops up.

I've done it. Futr is now 50x faster! Need to clean up some debugging and fix two issues, release early the next. futrnostr.com
#nostr
Next update on FUTR:
- no LMDB related issue confirmed
- found an issue in software design instead
- working on a fix
- still nicely leads into next awaited futr feature, namely custom feeds
So here we go, working on feeds which will resolve the scrolling issue as well. Not gonna issue any promises, but next week sounds reasonable to be done.
Hey @ZEUS
My lightning address has suddenly changes within Zeus, my handle is gone.
Sheesh, I found it, I found it, I really found it, I think. Confirmation tomorrow, followed by immediate release. This finally makes futr REALLY fast.
- it already loads feeds now hundreds of times faster
- reduced layout recalculation, especially recognizable on slow devices
- now finally fast scroll without FFI interference???
This sentence should become a reality: FUTR is the fastest and most lightweight nostr client out there.
New features being added directly afterwards.
- Linux and Windows nostr client

Back to work, HsQML has been released yesterday, so maybe I can release another Bugfix release of futr the same week? Let's try.
