Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Hey guys, I'm spending some time today preparing v1.6 for the app store, it's been a long time coming with many new features. Here's a breakdown of everything new in this version!

Notable new features in 1.6

Custom built, embedded C WASM interpreter (nostrscript), which will be used for custom algos, filters and lists
Longform note support
Hashtag following
Configurable reactions
New Live user status NIP (music, general)
Adjustable font sizes
A very long list of bug fixes and performance improvements
Fast and persistent profile searching using nostrdb

Top priorities for 1.7

Lists
Custom algos and filters using nostrscript
Stories
Multi account
Tor integration
Better NWC integration (wallet balances, transaction history)
Advanced note search via nostrdb
Fully switch to nostrdb for all notes
Discord-like relays (click a relay to view all the notes on it)

So much more but maybe I will not try to be too ambitious ...
