🚀 re-engineering a retro future
I’ve been heads-down completely rewiring MyNostrSpace for the last few days, and I think you guys are going to love this. The goal has always been to bring that nostalgic 2005 energy to Nostr, but let’s be real the engine under the hood needs to be 2025 fast.
Here is everything that just shipped:
⚡ Streaming Architecture (Goodbye, Spinner) The old "fetch-and-wait" model is dead. I completely refactored the data layer to use streaming subscriptions everywhere.
What this means for you: The Feed, Media, and Music tabs now populate instantly as data arrives from relays. No more staring at a loading screen wondering if the app froze. It feels snappy, alive, and buttery smooth.
📝 Native Blog Reader Why leave your space to read an article? The Blog tab is now fully functional. You can tap on any long-form post (Kind 30023) and read it right there in a beautiful, readable layout that respects the "MySpace" aesthetic but renders full Markdown perfectly.
📺 Mobile Streams That Actually Work The "Streams" tab was looking a little rough on mobile, so I fixed the grid. It now adapts perfectly to your phone, giving you a clean view of who is live right now.
Bonus: We now parse the status tag correctly, so you can see at a glance who is LIVE 🔴 vs. who has ended their stream.
🎵 The Mixtape (Music Tab) I added a dedicated Music tab that listens for Wavlake tracks (Kind 1) from the people you follow. It automatically builds a playlist of what your friends are listening to/posting. It’s basically a generated mixtape of your social circle.
🧹 Clean Feed, Happy Life I reverted the logic on the main Feed to hide replies. Now, your main feed is just root posts status updates, photos, and thoughts keeping the vibe curated and focused.
The site is being rebuilt as we speak. Log in, customize your colors, and break things.
