Welcome to Plur! This is the new app from the team that made nos.social and we're creating community tools. This is a work in progres and we're figuring out how to build it. Please talk to us here as you experiment with Plur.

2025-02-20 18:38:58 UTC

Today we’re bringing Nos 1.2.1 to our TestFlight users! This version lets you create, edit, and delete lists of your favorite people and accounts, just like Nos 1.2 on the App Store.
#note1kpl…8ndv

2025-02-18 22:47:21 UTC

With the Nos 1.2 update, you can use Nos to create, edit, and delete lists of your favorite people and accounts! We're also bringing you fixes for the biggest issues in the previous version:
- Fixed: restarting app reverts to Following rather than selected list or relay
- Fixed: lists change positions randomly
- Fixed: adding and removing relays is not reflected in the feed filter
- Fixed: text fields sometimes don't work on onboarding screens
- Fixed: main action button is not visible on iPad on "Build Your Network" onboarding screen
- Fixed: crash when processing a malformed delete event
Have a nice day!

We’ve added lists to [Nos](https://nos.social/install) in version 1.1! You can create a list in another app like listr.lol and then view the feed for that list in Nos. Here’s the full set of changes in this version:
- Added lists to the app so you can see feeds from specific accounts you've added to the list. You can create your lists with listr and view their feeds from the Nos app.
- Nos now publishes the hashtags it finds in your note when you post. This means it works the way you’ve always expected it to work.
- Updated the default relays that are added when you create an account.
- Fixed display of Mastodon usernames
- Fixed crash related to tracking delete events.
Have a great day!

G’day, Nostr! We’re excited to announce that we are now live in Australia and New Zealand, complete with an updated onboarding workflow designed to help new users understand keys, find people to follow, and create their first post. If you’re in Australia or New Zealand and have been waiting for an easy-to-use app to introduce to your friends and family, encourage them to check out Nos!
Changes in version 1.0.0:
- Updated the onboarding screens with a new design.
- Added a tip to the Feed to welcome first-time users and explain how the Feed works.
- Added a tip to Discover to prompt first-time users to go to their Feed.
- Removed integration with Universal Name Space
- Remove most usage of xcstringstool-generated strings to improve performance.
- Added new authors and categories to the Discover tab.
- Fix Search bar disappearing on Discover tab when scrolling.
- Nos now hides the notes from blocked users when viewing their profile page.
- Added a tag to published contact lists to help us detect the source of lost contact lists.
- Added relay.mostr.pub to the default relay list.
- Fix two bugs that could result in muted users being unmuted.

Yeah we send background notifications and then it triggers the app to silently check relays for those events. iOS restricts opening up apps in the background based on how often the user opens it in the foreground. Open Nos on a semi regular basis then apple will let it get all of your notifications. It’s a tricky balance.

2024-10-11 18:49:35 UTC

It’s time for another Nos update! In today’s 0.2.2 release, we have a handful of improvements for you:
- Updated the media viewer that displays images, videos, and web pages inside of notes.
- Removed image and video link text from notes. Now only the images and videos will appear, without the link.
- Added new translations for the app so you can use it in Korean, Chinese Simplified, Swedish, and more! Thanks to alternative, 안마리 (everyscreennetwork), Andypsl8, Dženan (Dzenan), ObjectifMoon, ra5pvt1n, and everyone else who contributed translations on Crowdin!
You can join our beta on TestFlight by following the instructions on our website: https://nos.social/install
Happy Friday!

Hi Colin - we’re happy to add NOICE to the Discover tab. Thanks for the heads up on the folders request! Adding to the backlog!

2024-10-01 13:18:59 UTC

We’re bringing Nos 0.2.1 to you today with just one change: we’ve disabled autocorrect in the note composer when running on macOS to avoid some autocorrect issues. If you’ve noticed some of your words disappearing while you’re writing a note on Mac, we’re sorry! It’s fixed now.
As always, you can join the beta on TestFlight if you’re not already using Nos! https://nos.social/install

Did you know Nos allows you to post to and read from individual relays?
To post to individual relays, select the All my relays at the top of the editor and switch it to the relay of your choice.
To read from individual relays select the filter icon on the top right of the feed. https://image.nostr.build/7f8f4a383821ff519c0cb7b65df39a35cf368892b5301aec662b5ca502322f1d.jpg

Would better UI help to distinguish between where you are posting?

2024-09-05 14:49:30 UTC

- reply

I’m curious why you need two accounts to switch from public to private relays. Nos and I believe Amethyst allow you to post to specific relays. Nos also allows you to read from specific relays. Damus has some of this functionality as well.

2024-09-01 13:25:57 UTC

- reply

Most major relays support delete. So if you post a typo on Damus for example and come to Nos to delete it. Then return to Damus or Primal the note will be gone assuming you are mostly on bigger public relays.

This is helpful feedback! And something we are working to improve.

2024-08-21 14:40:56 UTC

Today we’re releasing a few bug fixes in Nos 0.1.25:
- Fixed an issue where the sheet asking users to set up a NIP-05 username would appear after reinstalling Nos, even if the profile already had a NIP-05 username.
- Fixed a bug where urls with periods after them would include the period.
- Fixed a bug where confirmation dialog buttons turn red while swiping across them.
If you’re in the beta and have automatic updates on, you should no longer see these issues! If you’d like to try Nos, you can join the beta right here 👉 https://nos.social/install
Have an awesome day, and for those of you at Nostriga, come say hi to us!

2024-08-16 22:00:17 UTC

If the Nos app is still not working for you, make sure you have the latest release installed from TestFlight!
Steps to check if Nos is up to date:
1. Launch TestFlight. If Nos says update, then update!
or
2. If TestFlight was open, quit and relaunch it and then update Nos.
Still having issues- reach out to us!

2024-08-14 13:27:29 UTC

GM Nostr! After 6+ months of working through product debt and bugs we have a stable app! If you haven’t checked it out in awhile you might want to give it another go! Huge thanks to @npub16zs…92l7 @npub1yl8…vz34 @npub1uaa…87z6 @npub138h…rdr2 and Martin for working through all the issues!
We have a couple of new ideas in early prototype phase we’d love to get Nos user feedback on this Friday.
DM us if you have 30 minutes or so for a video call - no cameras required, but we do need you to share your screen.

2024-08-13 12:44:29 UTC

We periodically get requests for an Android version of Nos. So let’s do an informal poll today.
If you are an Android user and would like to see an Android Nos app, like this post. Bonus, share what makes you interested in Nos in the comments or via DM!

2024-08-13 11:35:20 UTC

A semi-regular reminder that Nos allows both deletion of notes and ephemeral notes.
Is it perfect? No but we’ve found that most of the major clients and relays respect both!

We’re back with another hidden feature in Nos!
User Handles
This identifier is another mechanism of verifying a public key belongs to the account you think it does. Formatted like an email address, it often sits in a user profile.
Nos users can set a user handle in Nos either after signing up for a Nostr account or by logging in with an existing private key.
Watch this quick video below to see how it works.

One of the great things about Nostr is that it is a global community first. It did not originate out of Silicon Valley and we’re excited that many of the Creators and Journalists in the residency and accelerator programs live on many different continents and speak a multitude of languages.

As long as X doesn’t restrict this portion of the API we’ll leave it up. If X changes things on their end to restrict posting from elsewhere we’d likely take it down.

2024-07-02 14:50:38 UTC

Did you know that you can automatically post your Nostr notes to X? If you are still posting to X, save yourself some time with Nos X Connect.
Link your x account to your nostr account and all your Nostr posts will automatically be posted to X. Try it out using the link below.

We’re channeling the joy of the revolution with our June Cohort. Whether you are looking for dance music for an upcoming gathering or inspiration on how to make an impact, this month’s cohort has it all. Inspired by this passage from Emma Goldman’s autobiography, Living My Life, we hope following this latest group of Creators, Activists and Journalists will bring some joy to your feed and summer!
"At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha [Alexander Berkman], a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.
I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. "I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody’s right to beautiful, radiant things." Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world--prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.”

Thanks for asking these questions! The Residency and Accelerator programs are designed to allow Creators and Journalists to experiment with micropayments via Zaps. When we onboard Creators and Journalists we offer them the opportunity to also set up a wallet via Primal so they can receive Zaps (and send them!). Those that are not in NY state have taken us up on the offer if they do not already have a wallet set up.
Based on what we’re seeing anecdotally - the minimum Zap amount is likely too low. 42 Sats is $0.007 in USD. It might be good to bump it to $0.10 or $0.25.
Listening to some creators (many of whom are not in the Residency program) they observe that Nostr users are more likely to zap for “hot takes” or “memes” rather than original content. Today Zaps are treated a lot like a “like” in the UI and this might be one of the challenges. Are we asking people to Zap at the right point in time or is there a different point in time when it makes more sense to ask someone to Zap?
The middle ground appears to be well curated feeds where people are sharing content from elsewhere with some commentary on why they are sharing. In these instances it is the curator who is receiving the Zaps rather than the original Creator.
We would be curious to hear from folks about their thoughts on any of the above including @npub1lrn…qnw5 ‘’ ’s question about alternative micropayment options. Predicting future behavior is always a challenge, but if someone is not zapping bc of lack of access to Bitcoin for example, that’s helpful information to have.
