Since everybody’s talking about riba again, let me go to my profile, search for all my notes containing ‚riba‘ in NoorNote 😏 and dig up this old gem.

#NoorNote is full of new stuff, both small and big. Here's a feature that's often overlooked: Mutual Loyalty Check.
Haha, okay, I just made up that name right now. But there's something like that in NoorNote.
As you might have seen in the follow list, for every follow, NoorNote shows the mutual status below it in green. The link "Check for changes" refers exactly to that, to the mutual state.
The first time, it can't check anything because it needs an initial snapshot to compare against in the future. So go to follows list and click on the link. It takes a while (depending on how many people you follow) until eventually you get the message "Initial Snapshot saved. Changes will be detected on next check."
If you do this check again a few days later, now it has a snapshot to compare against.
And if there are changes in the mutual status, they'll be displayed. All the new mutuals and those that used to be but aren't anymore. If you just press "Close," the same changes, plus any new ones, will show up again. If you press "Mark as seen," they won't be considered in the next check.
Anyway, you can safely close that modal because these changes also end up in your notifications.
There, you can check each user again to see if it's really true. Sometimes there are small errors, so it's worth it to also open the user's profile beforehand. The info in the profile is more reliable.
Well, once you have this loyalty info and you've confirmed it, do whatever you want with it.

@cloud fodder's nostr1.com relays quietly taking over

"Recall, the optional screenshot-based memory tool exclusive to Copilot+ PCs, remains under review for potential evolution or redesign, though it stays opt-in with strong privacy controls and low widespread use."
Windows stays hot, then. Hot like a potato you wanna drop right away.

What's so dumb and at the same time so funny about these Epstein emails between his network is this: They didn't even use PGP. Open postcards over the internet. Just like that.
Boomers love playing with fiat software.
Here's a quick rundown of the onboarding process in the new NoorNote 0.4.0 desktop app:
1. New users start off on the welcome screen.
2. A key pair gets generated automatically. But you can regenerate them as many times as you want.
3. You're prompted to download a backup. But you can also optionally save it somewhere, like in a password manager.
4. It only moves on once you confirm the backup.
5. Now you can import this key pair into the local key signer.
6. You set your password for the trust session...
7. ...then it continues after a success message.
8. In the next screen, a few random usernames get generated. But of course, you can set your own.
9. Then you can pick a profile picture or upload one yourself.
10. And create a bio.
11. Then the new user gets three random suggestions from the 15 largest relays. You can reroll them and even enter your own. But here's the thing: Even if the user picks some dumb relays, like really obscure ones, it barely affects how NoorNote works. Like when displaying users and notes that aren't on your own relays. That's thanks to the outbound relays principle.
12. NIP-17 DMs need your own inbox relays. Hardly any newbie knows that. No big deal, it suggests four suitable ones, and the user should pick two. Over time, I could add more options there too.
13. So the new user's timeline doesn't end up empty, it now suggests some thematically curated follow packs.
14. Once the user makes their selection, it moves on.
15. Now all that's left is a Lightning wallet for zapping and getting zapped. The most common newbie mistake with new accounts is avoiding setting it up. That's understandable, who even helps with that at the start?
16. After you sign up at Rizful and click "Open Rizful," you get a one-time code that you copy...
17. ...and paste into the wizard. When you hit "Connect" after that, it fetches the NWC string and enters it into NoorNote.
18. Finally, there's a little summary, and with "Save & Go to timeline," everything gets published to the relays, NoorNote loads the timeline as usual, and the user can jump right in.
In the web browser, the order in the wizard is a little different. It recommends installing Alby first, simply because it's the only browser extension that stores sensitive data encrypted right in the browser. That cuts down the attack surface from other malicious browser extensions, for example. And the Alby setup starts off with connecting a Lightning wallet anyway. That's why the Rizful step gets moved up, right after guiding the new user through the Alby installation. After that, the wizard steps are just like in the desktop version.

New #NoorNote version. Download at: 
I've polished up the frontend a bit more, fixed a bunch of bugs (the automatic list synchronization of bookmarks, follows, mutes, tribes now runs reliably) and ...
There's a new onboarding wizard for Nostr beginners!
This wizard doesn't just generate a key pair, it walks you through creating your profile, suggests some of the biggest relays (+ NIP-17 inbox relays!), and gives you the first options for following people through npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg's follow packs ( ), fully integrated, so your timeline doesn't stay empty. And that's not all, the wizard also guides you through creating a npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq account and integrates your first zap wallet via NWC.
This onboarding holds beginners by the hand and equips them with everything they need for a full Nostr experience!
But that's not all.
NoorNote is a desktop app and NoorSigner ( 
) is a seperate desktop key signer that runs in the terminal. Other devs could even use it for their own desktop clients. It gets initialized once at the start in the terminal, and for renewing the trust session, the terminal pops up every 24 hours and asks for the password.
Not anymore.
I've heard newbies don't like the terminal. So NoorSigner now runs completely in silent mode. NoorNote takes over 100% control of NoorSigner. It handles the initialization, asks for the trust session password every 24 hours ... no terminal in sight anymore. It all happens in the background. NoorNote just passes it along to NoorSigner.
If you don't like that, you can switch off NoorSigner's silent mode in the settings, and then NoorSigner will pop up in its own terminal again.
But that's still not all.
Tadaaa:
The desktop version is still the flagship and the preferred platform (more comfort, more security), but if you really want to, you can now use the web browser version consistently with your signer extension: either locally at 127.0.0.1:3000 or just on .
