I can't wait for one client to become the super client and absorb all these features into one UI

For specific applications (like a Twitter type social app) it will likely happen.

The protocol is far too general for any one client to dominate all applications. I guess we're gonna find out!

Yeah I don't mean I expect to see my reddit nostr content in my twitter nostr client rendered perfectly, I mean theres a lot of general UI changes that would apply to all sort of global elements

For example a relay list and the follower lists mentioned above are definately things that can be absored into one

Nice list! Would you add realsearch.cc? Shows trending stuff, and let's you search by keyword for posts and profiles.

Added. Nice job!

What's your trending algo? Can you add a word cloud?

5 sats \ 2 replies \ @brugeman 1 Jan 2023

Trending is stuff that got a lot of attention from good accounts in the last 48 hours. Had to prune spam first using TrustRank, otherwise there's too much garbage.

Word cloud for posts?

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @BTCNEWS_TODAY OP 2 Jan 2023

Yes, word cloud of spam-filtered notes on trending topics, basically a visual of "what's hot on nostr right now"

Ok I'll look into that after holidays
