View quoted note → After some progress I made my announcement and first post on nostr: View quoted note → I had been quietly posting updates into an empty void for some time until I got a repost from @Alex View quoted note → then Jack mentioned Nostur once, but then never again 🥲 View quoted note → still grateful for indirectly supporting through @npub10pen...n34f, thank you @jack
 Pablo said Nostur is fantastic and Nostur started to gain some traction

Finally special thanks to @corndalorian, @Bac0t, and @petri for pushing Nostur to the limits, finding bugs, suggesting improvements and showing demos like: View quoted note → I know I missed some, I have many bookmarks and I also lost a few migrating to a new system.
