We've shipped comprehensive Nostr Network Stats with activity, relay, client, zap and adoption metrics across the network. View it at https://nostrich.org/stats

Nostrich makes likes and zaps feel more alive with subtle animations. The more you zap, the bigger lightning you get. Coming soon to iOS and Android as well. ❤️⚡

Open, distributed, unstoppable.

GM Nostr! More performance improvements went live last night. @Nostrich now feels almost like browsing a local HTML file, while quietly juggling dozens of relays and real-time data behind the scenes.

Nostrich now supports rich previews directly in the composer, so you can see exactly how your note will look before posting. Supported previews and embedded rich content: ✅ YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Rumble ✅ Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music, SoundCloud ✅ Video: MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V ✅ Audio: MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG, Opus ✅ Website links with OG previews ✅ Nostr articles & live streams (pointer or URL) ✅ Quoted Nostr notes & URLs

For transparency, here’s the entire Nostrich trending algorithm: Score = 3Z + 2Rp + 3Q + 2Re + Ra + Bs where: Z = unique zappers, Rp = reposts, Q = quotes, Re = replies, Ra = reactions, Bs = sats bonus The sats bonus is deliberately small, keeping its weight minimal while still allowing value to count as a meaningful signal. 1+ sats = +1 10+ = +2 100+ = +3 500+ = +4 1k+ = +5 5k+ = +6 10k+ = +7 It caps at 7 points. A million sats scores the same as 10,000, and the bonus stays at zero until at least two different people have zapped. Money can register, but it can’t outvote humans. ⚡ Zap amounts only count from validated receipts. Signatures are checked and bolt11 is decoded. Forged receipts add nothing. 👥 Engagement is counted by distinct people, rebuilt from relay events rather than trusting index claims. One person replying five times still counts as one. 🚪 Replies, quotes, and reposts only count if the author passes our discovery gate: name, picture, NIP-05 are counted as better signals and at least 10 notes + 10 replies of history required. Freshly minted spam farmers contribute zero. 🔁 Quotes count as 1.5× reposts. Adding your own thoughts around a note is 1.5× as meaningful as simply reposting it. 📈 Bursts don’t immediately dominate longer charts. A note needs an hour of staying power to enter 4h trending and four hours to enter 24h. Sudden bursts stay in the 1h chart, where they belong before they graduate. 👤 One note per author per chart, popular accounts cannot pollute the trending table. 🌍 Same trending list for everyone. No personalization. ⏳ Rebuilt every 5 minutes from public relay data. 👻 And to spammers: nothing is set in stone. If you can game it, we’ll be watching and adjusting.

We released a major performance update to Nostrich last night across desktop, mobile, and Nostrich Deck. Everything should feel even faster and smoother now.

Nostrich mobile apps give you full control over which push notifications you receive. They’re near instant and easy to turn on/off anytime. Coming to iOS and Android this month.

⚡ NWC improvements just shipped on Nostrich: ✅ Zaps that silently timed out now go through. ✅ Your wallet history now names who you zapped instead of "Sent via Lightning". We attach the zap request to the payment (NIP-47 metadata). ✅ The wallet tab now shows the address that actually receives your zaps. ✅ Works with any NWC wallet → Primal, Alby, Coinos, Zeus, Minibits, etc.

We’re localizing Nostrich in 20+ languages. Soon, you’ll be able to use Nostrich across the web, Deck, and mobile apps in your preferred language. Our mobile apps will launch in 170+ countries with local language defaults, and you can switch languages anytime.
