Android was a little buggy so I'll use my work iPhone to test
I pushed a new version an hour ago; it should be more stable than yesterdayβs release
Same

What developer tools are you using to output such polished demos so quickly?
And is it cocaine?

Installed! A couple things out of the gate:
- How do I login?
- Auto detected dark mode which is great but when typing a text caption I canβt see the text.
- Canβt dismiss keyboard past this point.

On iOS, was also going to ask...

Yep same stuff and I couldnβt post anything
Would it be possible to not have photos cropped to a square? Maybe full image? Or 5:4?
Home is blank
I created a new bunker uri with Amber but nothing happens when I paste in the string and try to login π
I also noticed on iOS when uploading a photo and then adding text, I am unable to see what it is that Iβm typing. It will not go down to see the text box. See screen cap here. The ui does feel nice though.
Did we reach the limit of testers?
Now i can use imeta as an excuse of how i met her⦠:)
Yeah, the nip 46 login seems broken; will fix asap π
Wait what do you consider a microblogging client?
Been wanting a Nostr instagram type client. You are a legend.

Announcing Olas 0.1!
Olas is an Instagram-like client for iOS and Android.
Olas 0.1 provides a feed of videos (like those on flare/highlighter/zap.stream), picture events (kind:20, a new kind that no client had implemented yet) and the classical short notes with images attached we are all used to.
When publishing images, Olas uses the new kind:20, in a future release youβll be able to control whether to publish as a short note so that it appears in microblogging clients too.
Some more features already available:
β
blossom uploads πΈ
β
NIP-22 replies
β
Reels (still quite buggy though)
β
Edit your preferred blossom servers
β
Edit your nutsack mint list
β
Image download optimization (to be gentle with mobile data plans)
Coming next:
- NIP-55 (Amber) Logic
- Fix NIP-46 (bunker) login
- complete NIP-60 (nutsack) wallet
- Add NIP-57/61 zaps + nutzaps
- Bookmarks
- NIP-29 support: youβll be able to create private or public communities where to share photos and videos with; imagine creating a private group just for your family or friends where you can publish pictures you donβt want to share with the world; or a community for artists.
Android users got a chance to get a glimpse of it already since nostr- active app stores like Zapstore are 100x easier to work with than permissioned stores.
EXPECT BUGS, this is an alpha release.

Zapping for amber logic on the Roadmap. Can't wait to try it.
Link for android version ?
I'm a early days user of instagram, i never really liked twitter..nostr is nice because it's all of it in one place, with freedom, no algo.. i'm bullish on your app Olas!
Iβll test drive this puppy ππ½
Is there an APK somewhere?
+1 Couldnβt upload on ios phone, or type in description and then get to βpublishβ button. Tried pasting in text no luck either
This looks amazing! π€
Do you have a link to the spec of kind20 events? π₯²
The version on iOS is called Snapstr.
gonna check this out !
On zapstore
Itβs a PR by
@Vitor Pamplona
Thanks for sharing.
If this is the way forward we should replace NIP93 events in the user gallery with this in Amethyst, for interoperability
Hi, I have installed Olas, but I canβt do anything. I only see this screen

Tengo el mismo problema
Are they different? Galleries are selected. These ones are all the crap people post.
Ok I'm confused now. I'm also confused every kind1 with an image currently shows up in the gallery when it's using kind20 π is that because of alpha or is this the idea?
I think
@PABLOF7z is also trying to make it work with kind1 clients, which I don't think it is a good idea. People don't want to mix the two generally.
Super excited to try this out. On android, images don't seem to be loading for me. Also the bottom icons aren't respecting my dark mode settings, so a bit hard to see
Awesome work though!
But let's say it was using kind 20 only, I guess this would represent exactly what I intended to do with gallery entry events. Basically images you want to share and put in your profile gallery, and not every screenshot from every shitpost. It's a bit redundant to have 2 kinds for the same thing, I think. Just the way you create these currently in Amethyst is a bit different than actively posting a kind 20 event, like this client does. But it could be similar.
Kind 20 is for all the shitposts, all memes and things you want to share but might not want in your Gallery. To me they are very different.
Hm ok, I thought it was the other way round. I'm still confused an will observe what happens lol.
I guess my point is, I still think having consistent galleries around clients would be nice somehow.
Not to speak for
@PABLOF7z, but in my understanding microblogging clients are the Twitter-clones, like Amethyst, Coracle, Damus, NoStrudel, etc.
Thanks, big P
Well done!!! Excited to try this out!
I drummed up an app icon idea.

I can't access the zap store, it says that I have an ad blocker...
Downloaded it π€© Is it normal that it downloads in iOS as snapstr with a different screen than the one shared in the video ? π
No, itβs not π€ can you share a screenshot?
There you go! π€β¨
Exactly the same experience Iβve had. Uninstalled now.
Wait what; thatβs an old version!
Thatβs the one that downloads via the TestFlight link in your announcement note.
Que pocas pulgas tienen algunos, no valoran el trabajo de uno y encima quieren todo gratis. Te banco Pablito
Ooooh shit; I know what happened, apparently after deploying I need to push explicitly to the general tester group the new version; the version everybody installed is like 1 day old!!
See if the version now fixes that; apparently the TestFlight had an old very very broken version
very cool.
Trying it out on iOS 18.2 and the feed is not showing. Settings only has relays option (not sure if there is suppose to be more).
my first time releasing something on Testflight, looks like I needed to be explicit about which version the link points to; I just thought it would point to the latest one π
is the good version in the current testflight link then? π
Same broken build for me too
Same
Apparently I need to now wait for the central planners at Apple to approve the fucking release; I thought in TestFlight you could just deploy and the review bullshit was just for the App Storeβ¦
Every single time they must sprinkle holy water on your release
Super buggy, but I'm down.
You don't have to wait for review π€at least not one in the traditional sense, for Testflight. Unless something has changed since I last launched an iOS app.
Perhaps not, however, I remember it being a process each time you push out a new version of
Ah that explains it. I think quite a few of us wanted to try/test it out π
Ah! π
Congrats π
Excited to give it a try!
Thank you for this. It would be great to see it in fdroid eventually.

How can i get the android version?

What specifically what that much easier

Looking for value prop/benefits for the dev marketing site.

@Laeserin π»π¦ npub. No idea, if they show up anywhere else.
Kind of weird to include microblogging notes, but not curated gallery entries.
Bullish π
Brilliant well done
@PABLOF7z
So cool! Is it possible to login through nsecapp?

sanity island ππΌ
yep, saw this! I have it on my phone now. Seems to be a bit buggy on my end still. The images appear rather squished when viewing in the homescreen
where can I get this for testing on Android?
I got it on zap.store.
I got a more recent version now... when image grid? :-)

IIRC Instagram started allowing portrait photos a few years ago. Would be nice to enable that.

Dark mode needs work. And nothing happens when I click Publish.
Also when logged in, I'd like my home feed to be only people and tags that I follow. Maybe a button somewhere to turn global on.
Anyway, very cool stuff!

I think you're shipping too fast π

HAHAHHA
Will fix the version in zapstore asap, been having some issues with it but hopefully
@franzap will iron them out soon π€π€
The latest version I just published should properly display grid mode
Better!
If a post has multiple images attached, it should show all of them in the grid view.

πππ i still need to add support for multiple images in one post π
Fixed since yesterday! Republish with --overwrite-release π€
is the UI/UX supposed to be like this on dark mode? i personally donβt like it, forced to use light mode for now until fix comes.. nonetheless congrats! π
ah fuck, I know what happened -- what version are you on?
IOS
i had a feeling i was like no way Pablo would do me like this lol

I thank you for yer work sir and hope this can fill the gap that NostrGram left.
Is there any way to upload photos that are not constrained into a square?
yes, the next version will remove that constrain since it's a fairly popular request
Great
Do you have an estimated date yet for the next version?
Tonight or tomorrow π«‘
