Quick update on what has been going on in futr development (a native nostr desktop client): - solved memory leak in Qt5 - fixed recursive re-rendering bug in Qt5 - enable QML debugger through Haskell binding - improve event handling and Qt5 signal triggering These things were a major blockers before next release, unfortunately it took way longer than expected. However within the next 1-2 weeks, the UI Updates will be done and then you'll get a Windows binary as well. Next release comes with tons of new features and Bugfixes. Side note for other developers: Qt5 Quick is awesome, however there are some things you just can't solve intuitively, this thing will just eat all CPU resources and you don't know why. I never had to benchmark a web frontend, but here you have to verify whether or not it's working efficiently. You just have to know certain things or you get bitten.

1000 USD for anyone who can solve fix a memory leak in a Qt5 app with Haskell backend. I pay in Bitcoin.

I ran into a memory leak in qt5 quick. Anyone able to assist? #asknostr

I just solved a UI issue on the futr nostr client. Took a few days to debug and find the culprit. Still need to clean up and finalize the rest of the stuff. This client will soon be known to be pure 🔥 and ⚡ fast.

## Changes - Optimized Subscription Handling - Implemented proper event pagination with timestamp tracking. - Added event deduplication across batches. - Improved debug logging for pagination and subscription events. - Fixed timestamp handling to prevent future-dated events. - Reduced events per pubkey from 2000 to 500 for better efficiency. - Relay Connection & Event Parsing - Improved relay connection state management. - Fixed parsing of OK messages from relays. - Updated follow list and DM relay parsing. - Added proper nevent links for quoted reposts. - Increased connection timeout from 3s to 15s to enhance reliability. - UI & UX Enhancements - Fixed follow list flickering by improving model caching. - Improved login experience with better async timing. - Fixed profile filter issues to improve data consistency. - Subscription & Relay Overhaul - Moved subscription handling to a dedicated SubscriptionHandler module. - Updated follow list and DM relay parsing. - Added proper nevent links for quoted reposts. - Increased connection timeout from 3s to 15s to enhance reliability. - UI & UX Enhancements - Fixed follow list flickering by improving model caching. - Improved login experience with better async timing. - Fixed profile filter issues to improve data consistency. - Subscription & Relay Overhaul - Moved subscription handling to a dedicated SubscriptionHandler module. - Improved relay connection reliability with fallbacks and rebalancing. - Optimized relay selection logic for better distribution of events. - Codebase Improvements - Simplified tag handling by switching to list-based tags. - Moved type definitions into dedicated modules (Event, Profile, Relay). - Updated tag parsing and generation throughout the codebase.

big testing day tomorrow, if everything works as expected, we have a new futr release tomorrow with lots of improvements

@Alex Gleason @PABLOF7z Hello, want to check my proposal for tracking read status of nostr events?
