 If anyone out there is currently dissatisfied with their nostr client, may I humbly suggest Coracle. It is stable, reasonably fast, and has better feed customization than anyone else. It also now comes in "android" flavor as well. 
 Interesting, I'll take a look 
 I like turtles 
 Great, I'll take a look 
 Coracle for android is C L E A N 💯

 You're welcome sir 
 Yep, you can get the apk via obtanium or zap.store 
 I have a bounty out for that, hopefully soon! 
 Yes sir, get it via obtanium. Amber support coming soon

 Haven looks awesome, I have a question though, is it available at a single url and adapts policy based on auth? Or is it available at multiple urls for use in different client settings? The "Four Relays in One" bit confused me. 
 Got it, you might add that information to the readme. Any particular reason you decided to use paths? In the past this has resulted in a single client being unable to deduplicate connections to a single logical server, sucking up resources unnecessarily (nostr.wine/pubkey being an example).

 This would also solve spam. How cool would it vmbe if marketing and engineering actually converged? 
 I was thinking some kind of invite link with a secret in it  that would allow the issuer to auto follow the new user. Kind of a referral link. The new user would publish some kind of message only the issuer could read, and the issuer could listen for that and follow on validation. You might want to make these single use to prevent them being stolen and re-used.

 Yeah, go for it. I tried this morning, but got an error about the apk already being on the relay.

 It doesn't, that's a trade-off. I've considered allowing users to pick public/private reports, because public reports of spam would be far more useful/less dangerous than public reports of e.g. csam or harassment. 
 Are there any Nostr clients that are relationship-centered instead of content centered?

 Yes, although I did release an APK today. It's buggy at the moment though.

 🦫 Got a new Coracle release for you all on this fine autumn day.

This is again mostly a maintenance release, with lots of performance improvements of all stripes due to moving a fair amount of code to welshman and refactoring it on its way.

@welshman/app is now available for any aspiring nostr client developers out there, with lots of high-level utilities so that you can hit the ground running — although beware, no docs, tests, or stable versions yet.

Other highlights include showing profile pictures in DMs, and removing WoT score display so it's purely visual. I've gotten a lot of feedback that the numbers are confusing and/or unhelpful. nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshsz9nhwden5te0v96hg6pwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcqyrmg86rsxhm66n6yuzuce77e2dlpv326jtxn3nhufje3md640a00yhrhac9  will probably consider this a win 😆

 Because 15 is too many relays. But if you want, you can change the "Max relays per request" and it should post to more relays. 
 🙌 
 There are a few possible reasons for this — coracle loads a fair amount of data in the background, like DMs, groups, relay selections, profiles, follow lists, etc of people you follow, which requires connecting to relays, which often implies signing an authentication event. You can turn this off in settings.

Another thing that happens in the background is decrypting various messages, lists, or settings. That can create some chatty dialogs too if you don't accept all.

Finally, I'm in the process of prototyping an interoperable "seen status" event kind which tracks when you last checked your notifications or various conversations. These will get created when you visit your notifications page or open a conversation.

If this doesn't explain it, send over the signing request (in particular the event kind), I might be forgetting something. 
 Are they a parent to a reply by someone you do follow? The feeds do attempt to bring in context. Is the wot arc orange or white?

 It is private on some clients, not coracle though unfortunately. Of course, that would make it harder to identify impersonators with web of trust. Tricky tradeoff.

This note was auto-published from fountain, and it basically works, but it's missing a little bit of context and strikes me as a self-aggrandizing thing for someone to do (if for example I did this manually). Anyhow, food for thought.

 Does `scope: network` not do the trick? 
 Totally, and I really like the feed you've made, because it sort of actually does that! I'm not able to reproduce the problem of existing follows getting in there though. I even double checked the code, and "network" doesn't include your follows. Maybe send a screenshot? 
 That's quite weird, I wouldn't expect the signer to prevent coracle from loading follows. What if you log back in with nostore again? 
 I'll file an issue and see if the developer will fix it 😂
