123 days of analysis paralysis, help me decide between Nostury and Nosturix in the comments. There have been many great suggestions, but I still want to keep it close to Nostur instead of a total rebrand. The main problem was with pronunciation, are you talking about nostr or nostur, you can't tell the difference verbally. Nostury or Nosturix makes it clear, but which one? I like them both nostr:note1357tnyjuhlzvwr6ut0zentdngkntz8y9vuh7x3vskdltakp294es3u9s5a

NosTrain NoStraw NoStretto NoStrophic I dont know about any nostr- combos. @Fabian how about “Stretto” Alludes to interoperability, and “an ending climax” 🤠 tretto /ˈstrɛtəʊ/ noun (music) The presence of two close or overlapping statements of the subject of a fugue, especially towards the end. (music) An acceleration in the tempo of an opera that produces an ending climax.

I would go for a total rebrand and drop the "nos" and the "str". They make the name difficult to pronounce and even harder to search for Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you. But looking through a dictionary is how I found "strudel" for nostrudel

Just wanted to start by saying how much I love your client—seriously, you’re an amazing dev, and it’s a privilege to use Nostur. It’s my favorite iOS client and my daily-driver. Personally though, I’d rather you keep it as Nostur for now rather than another Nos related name. Change the name when you’re ready for a rebranding/design sprint down the road. I think it’d be pretty exciting to release all that at once. Regrading names: The reason I’m a die-hard Nostur fan is because it’s always got the latest features, it’s fast, and reliable. You’ve kept it true to being a nimble open-source client and have been connected to the broader Nostr ecosystem. You were the first (and for the most part still only) iOS dev to incorporate features like NIP-23, Nests, zap.stream, lists, etc etc. Nostur kind of reminds me of a root, vine, or nerve (or maybe an octopus?)—fluid, has the potential to grow in any direction, able to move and transform in its environment and absorb important “nutrients” from its surroundings. Things that come to mind for me are: Tendril, Rhizome (or Rizome), Synapse, Dendrite, Dendryx. Some Octopus related ones could be tako, polpo, kraken. Anyway, feel free to ignore my mostly unsolicited advice. You’re doing fucking awesome job with the client and you’ve got some extremely loyal users. Don’t stop!

I kinda like the flavor that "y" gives off but the "u" in it weighs it down, imo. I think a simple Nostry could be good. Ignoring my going with neither option, I like Nostury better I think. Nosturix is too many consonants and too harsh sounding. Nostry feels light and welcoming for some reason.

Hi Fabian, I’ve been noticing that Nostur seems to take a lot longer than other apps (Damus, Nostrmo, Primal) to load new events (sometimes 10+ secs) if I haven’t been on the app for a while. Any ideas why this happens? Is it worth reinstalling, or is this expected behaviour?

Strange, I’m using the same relays on the other apps as well and new posts load near instant. I’ll try clearing cache to see if that fixes it. Then try just 1 relay. Will take me a while to see if it’s worked though as I normally see this happen after a few hours (when I wake up after sleeping for example). Will feedback anything I see and try to get video clips if clearing cache doesn’t fix it.
