2. Yumyume - 0.8.0 – Shakshuka with Feta & Fresh Herbs
Yumyume is a free, open-source, decentralized social bookmarking client built on Nostr, inspired by del.icio.us, offering censorship-resistant, user-owned bookmark sharing. The flavorful release "Shakshuka with Feta & Fresh Herbs" release brings a fresh wave of social features: users can now re-bookmark others' links, follow/unfollow profiles, filter bookmarks by people they follow, and comment directly on shared content. This update transforms Yumyume into a more social and interactive space for bookmark discovery. Under the hood, it improves bookmark deduplication, better utilizes OpenGraph metadata, and boosts tag cloud performance by narrowing the timeframe to the last 7 days. With this release, Yumyume becomes more than a bookmarking tool, it becomes a communal experience. The concept is from
