 A big update on nostrapp.link!

If you consider njump's rendering of events a bit too technical, try nostrapp.link/<bech32>

1. It's very noob and mobile friendly.
2. It has custom rendering for many event kinds, supports 'alt' tags etc.
3. It has proper meta tags and is great for sharing on social/messengers.
4. It's fast - the event is pre-loaded on the server and thus displayed instantly.
5. It's not trying to render all the details of the event, and instead presents it as a 'preview' and encourages to choose an app to view it.
6. It suggests apps to view the event using nip89, not a pre-set list of apps, which means it's much more likely to suggest an app for unknown kinds.
7. No app has any preference, suggested app list is randomized.
8. Each app displays avatars of it's users.

Here is how a new 'video' 34235 events are rendered: https://nostrapp.link/naddr1qqr5u72rwuukxdqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyrt4xcnqhzx00ewv8l9ylq3ypu6zhsycwck08wz46htkteuvjhwukqcyqqqgtwc7qu42a

And here is a list of profiles: https://nostrapp.link/naddr1qqx4xmmxw3mkzun9ypzx2annqgsrx4k7vxeev3unrn5ty9qt9w4cxlsgzrqw752mh6fduqjgqs9chhgrqsqqqafs3ujm72

These improvements were long overdue, shout out to @mplorentz for pushing me to initiate them!

@Kieran maybe you could render links to njump or nostrapp.link for unknown kinds instead of these huge JSONs in Snort? 
 Choose an app?

 You mean "Choose an app for more info"  isn't clear? Big "Flare" box at the bottom is the suggested app.  
 "Choose an app" implies there is something to choose from. Where is the choice? 
 Well if you clicked the '...' button at the corner of suggested app you'd see the full list. I guess we should turn it into "And N other apps" button or something like that. 
 Great work brugeman, NIP-89 is the way 👍 
 Thanks! I agree Profile list meta tags should be fixed.

I'm not against viewing the raw json, I just want a convenient open-with button displayed nearby, or at least in the menu.
