Videos (long and short form) are now enabled on Plume and they're tied in to the profile view successfully, as demonstrated in this image of @Biro Bela profile - just click the tab for an overview of each content type. Of course, it's not lost on me that I still have to go back to another client to upload this screenshot. Media uploads are very much on the roadmap, soon. There's other things to get done though, like caching last session for instant content on load, which will cut the perceived waiting time from the actual 8 seconds for new content, to something much more tolerable.

Added profile mentions in notes today, seems to work fairly well. Found a way to speed up loading all feeds (except follow packs, they're waiting updates) - all I had to do was stop Plume downloading people's entire profile info and just load what was essential. My apologies to everyone whose relays I've been hammering. Fixed yet another 2 utf-8 issues in the zap modal. Updated feed to load and play video. Yes, I know, again, kind of obvious, I just hadn't considered it important enough yet. And now, as of today, a new menu item - shorts - displaying kind 34236. There's work to be done to optimise it and increase loading times, but it's functional. Over the next few days, depending on how the parties go, I'll be adding long form video and tying both in with users profiles, so profiles render with all the different content types when available.

Didn't do everything I set out to do today, but still made positive progress: Fixed the zapper. That renders properly now. Updated interactions so notes you've interacted with now highlight that interaction. Zapped posts highlight and zap amount updates on receipt. Fixed the profiles so that if a user has music or podcasts the appropriate buttons now appear and display their content when pressed. Fixed issue with profile names not rendering in notes. Bit of an obvious one which has been annoying me. Was working on adding profile mentions to the compose message boxes but hit Claude limits. Still, there's always tomorrow. 💜 View quoted note →

Fixed up the profile view after completely destroying it again today and added zaps from the profile view. Then broke the zapper thanks to utf-8 gumpf. Now need to re-add music and podcast tabs to render in profile view when needed. Also got issues to sort out in follow packs this eve. More utf-8 nonsense, a regular glitch with Claude it seems. And I need to figure out why Plume can't find the follow packs I've created when it goes searching. Maybe I'll hardcode them in. And I'll sort out the way they stack. Weird misunderstanding from the AI when asking it to render them a particular way, I think.

Small fix today: sorting out alerts so that they're no longer ugly and not in keeping with the site. Sometimes it's the simple things which make me most happy.

After spending two hours trying to sort out the profile.js cock up from this morning, it's sorted. Also added a zap button to profiles, which seems pretty obvious in hindsight. Have now added a simple NSFW filter, which works in the main feed, won't uncover images in the conversation modal, and doesn't work in search results yet. So plenty to do.

So this morning @Matt destroyed the profile.js file. Actual lol. It'll be fixed soon.

Evening #nostr - only minor updates today: Outbox model *should* be working but it's still glitchy, work to be done. Added vanity lightning addresses. Tidied up profile view so when marketplace or photography tabs render they don't overspill the container or get lost on mobile. Next job is to reduce the number of tabs to two, with the rest concentrated in a single drop down. Once that's done, I'll look at adding music of video.

Gm #nostr DId some updates yesterday, relay management is almost complete! It's functional but we're moving to the outbox model later today to avoid conflicts with other clients. Also tidied up the search function a bit, so should get faster soon. It seems to be a common feature on nostr that search struggles with NIP05s. I'm going to try and set it up so that at least when one plume user searches for another it's more reliable. Not sure that reliability can carry over to the rest of nostr though. Bit more UX Improvments to do today too. Then to take a closer look at the NIP17 system to ensure it's functioning as it should be.

Having fun trying to get follow packs I've created to show up on the Plume Follow Pack feed. Any suggestions?

Good evening #nostr friends - a few little updates today: Implemented mute and block lists with moderation. Users can now view follows/followers/muted/favourites from a new sidebar menu option - favourites is stored locally for now. Removed an annoying gray bar from the side of the conversation modal. Automated new user sign up process to automatically follow the Plume npub when choosing people to follow from follow packs. Restyled follow packs- more loading and looks better but more work to be done. That was a fun evening. Bit by bit the site is becoming what I'd really like it to be.

First post from the new npub 🥳 From now on, updates and info about what's changed on the site should be posted from here. Keep in mind that plume is a personal project being built to learn and to create the nostr experience I want - be gentle with the criticism. Or not. Up to you. Anyway, this evenings updates and fixes: Fixed quoted notes not rendering in conversation modal. Fixed profile names not rendering in notes. Added hashtag search. Increased relays used - management coming soon. Added nip05 registration.
