NoStrudel v0.42.0: Olas Media Posts, GIF Picker, Code Cleanup & More

• "Finally another version of noStrudel. I keep telling myself I'm going to do more frequent releases but then time keeps getting away from me," announced hzrd149.
• This release includes extensive code cleanup and introduces several new features, such as support for Olas (Instagram-like) media posts, the integration of a simple GIF picker, an improved Top Supporters view, the ability to favorite certain DVM feeds, and a simplified tools menu under notes.
• Additionally, it enables searching within the local cache relay, adds an option for debugging the API, and introduces new templates for the event publisher, among other enhancements.

"Over the past few months I've been doing tons of cleanup on the core of noStrudel (677 changed files with 19,683 additions and 17,889 deletions) and extracting it out into a friendly nostr SDK called applesauce. Its very much a work-in-progress but the idea with these libraries is to help myself (and maybe others) build the UI layer of nostr apps and eventually make noStrudel just another app that is built with applesauce," said the developer.
