  Shout out to the  @YakiHonne team. They have built all kinds of shit while we weren't paying attention. Well, at least while I wasn't paying attention 😂.   
 Thanks for heads up!  Following... 
 yeah, they make all of the other client devs look like amateurs. And it’s free, even the TestFlight build, unlike Damus. 
 I wonder if they’ve raised money. The web app still has some issues to work out, but it has features no other Nostr client has. They could probably make some decent revenue from flash news if enough people start using their app. 
 This is a client I would gladly pay a subscription for. It’s a shame some of the other clients have hogged all the limelight. I bet you most people never even heard of it. 

I see a lot of reposts about their new feature so hopefully more people will check them out. They really do deserve it. 
 I haven’t been paying attention cause when they first started out they were just a long form notes client and I don’t write much long form notes 
 what are the features no other client has? 
 try it and find out. 
 How'd they make money with flash news?  
 You have to pay to post a flash news note 
 Just saw that, indeed, thanks. 

That can only be Interoperable if you pay to post on their relay. Which is only profitable if that relay is high signal. That probably means they'll have to curate for specific niches. 

People need reasons to use them as their "publication house". Monopoly is not a valid reason. 
 It’s just kind 1 notes, so they’ll appear in any Nostr app. They just get special treatment on their app. They put some kind hash in the tags of the note. I think that’s to verify someone paid. 
 indeed. 
 i like it but why can't i use it without nos2x? (or maybe this is a firefox bug)  
 You can login with Amber on their Android app 
 If they still want to filter news for me, I don't care how solid their code is, or what features they bring.

Grok liberty, or wither away with the rest of the dead paradigm. 
 May I know in which context you are talking about?  Are we related to filtering news for you?  
 You are not, since I don't use "Flash News".

Why do any of us need a third party (Yakihonne) to determine which news is "authentic and reliable"?
