Glad that you guys like it ❤️ Working on adding more features as we speak.

Hamstr does currently not implement tagging correctly when creating posts. It will render "@<pubkey>" as a link in the final post, but this will not generate a notification for the tagged user. It's at the top of my list of post features to implement.

No, I haven't gotten around turning it into a PWA yet, but I'm going to look into it. Should hopefully be fairly straightforward as the framework I'm using comes with PWA support. Thanks for trying out Hamstr ❤️

#[0] certainly did a great job with astral, no question about that. Was just trying to help, that's all 🤷

Without having run any benchmarks, a database bottleneck might be that astral is storing events as JSON strings, making it necessary to call `json_extract` for every single property access which will impact performance. You could instead try to store the individual event properties into separate columns/tables, which should not only help with performance but also make the queries cleaner.

Working on that 👍 After rebuilding Hamstr from scratch, it's now missing a lot of features that were present in the original astral-based prototype. On my list are still some basics like reposts, proper notifications and DMs, but I'm planning to add some more advanced features after that. Maybe NostrPlebs integration?

There was CORS header issue that prevented some profile pictures from being loaded. I think it should be fixed now 🙏 Please try refreshing the page.

Hi Nostr 👋
I just deployed a new version of Hamstr:
Hamstr has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and is no longer based on astral. This means that it's leaner and faster 🏎️
Now with NIP07 browser extension support!

Try it out at https://hamstr.to ❤️

Thanks for the feedback 🙏 Expect NIP07 support sometime this week.

Yes, this is on the roadmap, will hopefully get to it sometime this week.

Glad you like it 😊 Thank you for all the work you have been putting into astral 🙏 I removed the browser extension support by accident, going to put it back in once I have revamped the backend a bit.

Hi Nostr 👋
check out this project that I've been working on over the holidays:
Hamstr, a twitter-style Nostr web client based on astral.

It's work in progress, so expect bugs! Follow for updates ❤️
