4. Flotilla - 1.2.4
Flotilla is a Discord-like Nostr client built around the concept of “relays as groups,” enabling users to communicate and organize discussions across multiple relays in a familiar chat interface. This release adds direct message alerts and a dedicated alert settings page, provides instructions for key downloads, and introduces an option for relays to strip signatures. It now detects relays that mostly refuse requests, compresses and uploads profile images, defaults to the system theme, updates the icon set with a refactored inclusion method, and switches from localStorage to Capacitor’s preferences for storage. These improvements enhance usability, reliability, and overall user experience across the app. This was the biggest release, and the latest release was 1.2.5 last week.
