Trying to use Coracle, Snort, Nostrudel, Nostter in a slightly older computer and everything is super slow and freezing the computer.

Web apps are so bad I am even hoping that canvas-based Flutter will eventually replace them. The last time I had seen a webapp made with Flutter it was very bad and slow, but I just saw https://drivechain.live/ and it is actually very good.

Did you try Primal? Because they handle most things by using their cache server, it is actually quite light on bandwidth and usage. That said; nostr is a lot of json - old PCs, already having to handle the bloat that is "the web" and then crunching JSON, is probably not the smoothest of mixes. x)

as i said a million times we aren't in competition with facebook. NOSTR isn't for Boomers who are running computers that were $500 at Walmart 10 years ago with specs like Windows 7 and 4 GB of ram. most people who use NOSTR are either gamers or developers and have fast modern computers. however i...

I noticed that signature verification is so heavy and blocks the UI thread. I believe this can be solved by using a Service Worker (but haven't done it yet). nostr:nevent1qqszsz4k8x6vxntqrugrnhtw6j5jsgw2vmnq9dxwfvl2lztjkq96n9cng37pm

Y'all need to find some retrocomputing nerds to write Nostr clients. It's one of the best things to happen to the Mastodon community. It might seem like a gimmick, but being able to get ancient computers to work with your network is a great way to offer a variety of access options. https://wedistr...

How does nostr:npub16heelc6crh3ggnpmzwd97pcf4eeqewu9wak7hfe9fkh0f3p00cvq6xz8zz perform on that computer?

I use Algia and Gossip on my old netbook. Wikistr and GitWorkshop also work well. Lightweight.

True. The only one that was fast for me was Primal. Oh wait, Coracle was fast enough on my 2010 desktop running Bodhi 7 (22.04).
