Coracle v0.5.0: Faster Feeds, Nostr-editor, Reworked Login
Coracle is a free and open source web client for the Nostr protocol focused on relay selection and management, web-of-trust (WoT) based moderation and content recommendations, and privacy protection. Available on the web and Android.
- "Coracle 0.5.0 has (finally) arrived! The focus of this release is, well, focus. This is a huge release, with lots of improvements to existing features — and the removal of a few thousand lines of code," announced the project.
- This version comes with reworked login and onboarding experience, performance improvements to feeds and relay-based feeds, undo option via delayed send, nostr-editor for smoother note/reply editing experience, and more.
- This version also removes groups, calendars, marketplaces and ability to send NIP-04 messages (receive still supported).
"The good news is that feeds are better, and will continue to get improved — including render support for (almost) any nostr event. If you're very attached to NIP 72 communities or NIP 89 private groups (R.I.P 🪦), you can still access the previous version of Coracle at https://groups.coracle.social. Or, if you want BETTER GROUPS, give https://flotilla.social a try (NIP 29 compatibility coming soon)," said the developers.
What's new
- "Undo" via delayed send. It allows users to quickly correct those typos you notice just as you press "send." This option can be enabled in settings.
- Reworked login and onboarding. The new flow aims to strike a delicate balance between flexibility/security and a comprehensible UX.
- Feeds are now faster, especially relay-based feeds. The controls for feeds should also be incrementally improved.
- Nostr-editor for a smoother note/reply editing experience.
- Information about relay connections and NOTICE messages on the HUD. You can access in the left sidebar on desktop.
- Removed groups, calendars, and marketplaces.
- Removed support for sending NIP 04 messages has also been removed this release (you'll still be able to read messages you've received).
