Recorded a video that shows how you can utilize @Nostria to clean up your feed. Hopefully this will be useful for someone, as I've noticed a few posts recently that people are getting a bit fed up with their feeds and content on Nostr.

Nostr has a lot of awesome content, the problem is not lack of content, it's lack of discovery.

Getting tired of only chronological and global trending feed with the same profiles every day?

We heard you and here is our response!

Some people are getting tired of Nostr, and we get it. If you don't manage your feeds, you'll end up not in control. Instead the feed controls you. This is not what Nostr, and especially not Nostria, is about.

Spend 10 minutes watch (on 2x speed) our video on how to clean up your Nostr feed using Nostria. Nostria has some amazing features that empowers you to manage your content the way you want it, and innovative ways to discover new content.

What content should we produce to help promote Nostria?

- Short form videos that shows off individual features?
- Screenshots?
- Articles that explains different features?
- Post more notes with small updates?
- Make a very long video that explains every single feature?

Planning on doing a long video that demonstrates everything, as it takes time to produce any of this content and that time distracts from building, but it's a balance - without users, why build anything at all?

Nostria strive towards perfection, for elegance and smoothness. To be a trustworthy app and experience that just works, that doesn't fail randomly. At the same time, delivering a massive amount of features, so you don't need context switching between a bunch of vibe-coded apps.

While there is a lot of great smaller Nostr apps, there is a cost-benefit of adopting these. Any smaller and focused app might not get the attention and care as larger apps, as there is smaller user base.

The focus on this post though is to get some feedback on how we can grow the awareness of Nostria, so any suggestions? #asknostr #nostria

Hey everyone! We hope you all are enjoying Nostria and we want to ask you all to help spread the word!

But most importantly, we want to know what features are not working the way you expect them to, what do you want changed? What is the feedback you've received from others regarding Nostria?

We want to increase the adoption of Nostr as a social network, we're building Nostria to help with that. Please share any and all suggestions and we'll consider them all.

For example, is there too many features available for first time users? Should we dramatically reduce features and instead have a button to "Go to level 2"? Like your profile starts at Level 1, and you start a journey to unlock new features, to avoid overwhelming anyone that is new here? (of course not "lock" them down, just make it a smoother transition, where a user can jump to level "5" whenever they want).

What features should be removed?

You might have noticed the right side pane? If you favorite someone, it starts showing your favorites. That's not the only thing it's there for. Something is coming very soon that we hope you'll like.

Get ready for a refined article editing experience on Nostria! Split pane allowing you to view preview while editing on larger screens. The preview has been unified and is very similar to editing. The toolbar can be dismissed for more focus on the content. Media can be picked from our library, easy to use your existing photos and videos.

That's some of the recent updates, but not nearly all of them. If you have not tried the sharing experience yet, you should try it out. It's so quick and smooth to share anything funny or interesting in a direct message.

We're only getting started...

To help everyone avoid reacting to spam content on Nostr, which can cause a lot of unwanted side-effects, Nostria is now showing warning and require manual activation of the actions so you won't interact with these events unintentionally.

All day and night Nostria keeps improving! Gave some love to the favorites card, adding rich formatting and loading from cache.

This is a desktop feature and it helps you see what your favorites is up to, with zero clicks.

Personalized Web of Trust has arrived in Nostria! Check the Trust section in settings, from there you can go to Brainstorm and activate the generation of your personalized Web of Trust. This will take a while to compute, so you have to wait a bit after activation.

Currently it only support signing with extension, hopefully we'll get an fully integrated solution directly from Nostria.
