Futr nostr client can now fetch profile metadata and update the UI in place...

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.
