I've noticed the number of Nogs using the Friends+ feed is pretty small (only a few hundred while Nostrgram got 8,000 unique visitors in the last 24 hours).
**If you haven't tried Friends+ yet, use it!** It's everyone you follow *plus* everyone *they* follow. A web of trust, if you will. Far better than Global imo.

๐ so much for the โกs, especially the 500k โก that just came through! ๐ Your generosity allows me time to focus on NostrGram (and pay for services its using like CloudFlare) rather than on other projects I'd have to take on to cover the bills.
NOSTRGRAM UPDATE - IMAGE GALLERY, MOBILE LN PAYMENTS AND MORE!
This update is a pretty big one Nogs! You'll find a list of update below.
Haven't tried NostrGram yet? Check it out at
Already in NostrGram? Reload the page to access the update.
WHAT'S NEW:
1. First up, we have Image Galleries. If you paste image urls one after another in a note, rather than showing the images on top of each other, NostrGram now puts them images into a scrollable gallery that looks like this:
s/o #[0] for the idea
2. Next up, LN payments are now supported on mobile. If you're using a mobile browser that supports an extension like Alby you will see one button ("Pay Invoice") that will launch payment through that extension. However, if you don't have a webln extension but *do* have a Lightning wallet installed on your device (such as Wallet of Satoshi) that intercepts "lightning:" links, click the new button that says "Open Wallet". Your wallet app will open automatically with the invoice ready to pay.
Along with that update, the satoshis (sats) symbol is now displayed next to any sats amount. Here's an image of the invoice and the new sats symbol (s/o #[1] for creating the symbol!)
3. Updating of note stats are more efficient now, particularly so if you're running on a large screen in multi-column mode.
4. You can now disable password protection (some people have requested this). It's highly recommended you use a Nip07 extension and *not* paste your private key into NostrGram, but if you like to live and wild side and don't want to use a password either (edgy!) you can now disable in under the Advanced Settings heading of the Settings menu (also not recommended, but I also believe in your right to live dangerously).
5. Two updates for Direct Messages:
* Clicking on the contact's image in the Senders list now opens the person's profile page.
* There's a new "Find Contact" box at the bottom of the sender list. Use that to filter for specific contacts. It filters the senders list as you type.
6. Media upload stats for NostrGram are now shown in the lower-left corner of the Media Uploads pop-up window (that's mostly for me so I didn't have to keep running it manually in the shell lol). But if you're curious about how many uploads (and of what kind) have been uploaded so far, you'll find it there.
7. I added a "Details" and a "Reload" button to the system messages pop-up to make it easier to read the informational note regarding future updates (click Details) or reload the page to access the update (Reload). You'll see this pop-up in the next update.
8. I fixed a number of bugs in this update:
* FIXED: New reactions in notifications weren't always grouping as they came in
* FIXED: Couldn't copy LN invoices or addresses on mobile
* FIXED: Sometimes the newest message sender wasn't sorted to the top of Direct Messages.
* FIXED: Some full text searches weren't going through due to some old code from the previous database setup.
* FIXED: Tagging a pubkey in Direct Messages didn't work. It always tagged the person you were sending the message to.

Bug fixes, LN wallets/invoices working on mobile, DM improvements and more. I'm trying to keep updates down to just once a day so as not to interrupt your life with too many pop-up messages lol. Look for it this evening!
Good morning everyone! Lots of building to do today. Let's get to it.
Just created a github for NostrGram issues and suggestions. If you have either please submit them there. Of course I'm also all ears if you just want to @ me or reply to any of my notes here.

CloudFlare has cut the bandwidth use of NostrGram by 70%! Smaller files and images being served to your device(s) is increasing performance, too. In addition, I made a significant performance improvement to the database that has it running like a top now. The database server is yawning at the load now ๐ฅฑ. Plenty of room for growth at these levels!
To the person that just sent me 1776 sats.. Well played.
NOSTRGRAM UPDATE - CLOUDFLARE BOT MITIGATION AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Hello again Nogs! It's update time. I already posted a bit about this update, but wanted to make a formal announcement for it and add to what I've said so far.
NostrGram is now using CloudFlare for bot mitigation due to a large number of bots spamming the heck out of the site. VPN access was temporarily disabled while CloudFlare spun up and kicked in. Now it's active and the effects look really good so far. ๐ค
There are some additional performance benefits of using CloudFlare, particularly for mobile users. I'm using CloudFlare's service to resize and compress images, which is already making a big difference in bandwidth usage. I had something like this built into NG itself, but it didn't work particularly well because a lot of the images weren't able to be compressed with the library I was using. CloudFlare is doing a much better job.
I'm also using a few other CloudFlare compression options which are reducing bandwidth and speeding up delivery and performance. A big benefit to mobile users especially.
All of this is possible thanks to you donating your โก, so thank you very much for your continued generosity. ๐ I had someone ask where to donate, so wanted to make it clear: zapping any post by me (or using the Lightning icon on my Profile) is fine.
Lots more building to do! I will continue to keep you updated. Thanks for using NostrGram!
Accidentally Liked my own note. Does that make me vain lol?
New all-time high daily visitors to NostrGram!
Broke 5,000 daily visitors for the first time. So far this month about *62 million* pageviews over 71,000 visits from 32,000 unique visitors in more than 2 dozen countries! ๐ฅณ
Nostr and NostrGram are growing fast!
NostrGram just crossed its first, 1000 in-app media uploads. Woohoo!
NOSTRGRAM UPDATE - GREATLY IMPROVED FRIENDS+ AND FOLLOWING FEEDS
Okay Nogs (I hear that's what NostrGram users should be called now -- I like it), big update to NostrGram. The Friends+ and Following feeds now load much faster and the Friends+ feed will search up to 20,000 connections (the people you follow plus the people they follow). I was hoping for 10,000 but was able to do a lot more. Who needs Global with a feed like Friends+???
The first time you load the Friends+ feed it will build your connections list. If you follow a bunch of new people you can rebuild your list by clicking the new icon on your Profile (the blue person with a plus sign).

Got a โก for 175k sats and had to stop coding to say ๐๐๐. You folks have no idea how much I needed to see this support today. Thank you all so much for your support. I'm working my butt off to make NostrGram the absolute best Nostr client possible. ๐
Good morning and ๐ to the folks sending the โก. It's much appreciated.
Got lots of building done today. Now it's time for bed. I have a busy day tomorrow but will try to get some building done tomorrow evening. Lots on the to-do list. Goodnight all. ๐
NOSTRGRAM TECHIE UPDATE - NOTE RELAY LIST
For those like me who love the technical details, you can see the JSON structure of any note plus the list of relays it was seen at by clicking the ellipsis in the note actions list and then clicking Note Info.
However, if you want the list of relays to be shown beneath the notes in the feeds, there's a new option in Settings (โ๏ธ) that's off by default: "Show relay list beneath note actions"
It's near the bottom of settings. Enable it and you'll see the list of relays beneath the notes (with paid relays prefixed by a ๐ฒ).
