TIL: David Bowie song "Cat People", which is heard in Inglourious Basterds, is originally from a 1982 movie Cat People. Seems like a quality movie and very Tarantinoesque.

Finally added zap invoice parsing and total zap amounts 😅

Just made Iris use only the "name" field from profile. The concept of "username" can be a bit confusing in the context of Nostr, because it's not globally unique, and can be confused with nip05 addresses. "Nickname" or "alias" would be better, but probably not necessary. Also the UI is simpler and prettier when you don't display a "username" separately. View quoted note →

Full width on non-threaded messages. Images and long texts look better now.

Grid view gallery now shows the note content on desktop.

Added nevent & nprofile support and changed #[n] mentions to nostr: format. Recently merged another great pull request by @Lynn Zenn which adds an "Event Details" modal that shows "seen on" relays and raw event data.

Made a deepl.com based auto-translate. Works, but it's insane expensive. Scroll down the feed, +0.20 € 😄 Probably can't provide it as a part of Iris subscription without some very selective caching. I wonder if deepl.com terms of use would allow a translate.iris.to proxy that users would give their personal API keys, but it would first check for a cached translation.

Who can make a badge for Iris Purple subscribers? 👀 Any other name ideas for the subscription? For lifetime subscription, maybe Iris Titan? Atlas, perhaps the most perhaps the most iconic Titan, by Boris Vallejo. Iris, goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods.

You can now enable or disable likes, zaps, and reposts in settings.

Iris now supports nip42 relay authentication. Thanks to nostr: #[0] for implementing the feature. One of the best pull requests to Iris so far! Also fixed some other relay issues.

Guten morgen! Refactored Iris version is available at https://beta.iris.to and hopefully in production soon. UI freeze bug now resolved. Most of the differences are under the hood, improving content loading and making further development easier. It uses #[0] 's Relaypool library

. We would like to see web client developers working together on a library that takes care of the tricky stuff like subscription management and feed aggregation. 👆 stove used by the Finnish military, heated up to the point where it's called a strawberry.

Iris CPU usage is not high, but something often blocks rendering (UI stuck). Will zap 100,000 sats for finding out what causes it and another 100,000 for fixing. I need a break 😄

Some relays seem to be rate limiting connections from the #nostrica IP address because there's 100s of users. The old GunDB version of Iris used to support sync over local area network — that would be useful right now. Otherwise, #nostrica has been amazing! PV! 💜🇨🇷

Iris Desktop is here! No more dependency on Iris.to domain name, hosting provider or internet access. This version doesn't have the autoupdater, so I can't even push broken versions. Macos, Windows and Ubuntu versions available. They're built by Github CI, so they're unsigned for now. You'll have to override the "unidentified developer" warnings. Mac instructions:

I'm a bit jelly to native app developers for SQLite. Yeah, there's sql.js but it doesn't persist anything. Juggling between storage and memory (and relays) is the difficult part. That said, LokiJS, Dexie and Fuse are great javascript libraries with zero dependencies. Backed by LokiJS, Iris now has some basic filtering tools, and will be adding more. Also need to get a Tauri desktop & mobile version done at some point, so we can be independent of DNS, hosting or someone pushing a version that breaks the UX for everyone.
