What is this?

Coracle is a web client for the Nostr protocol. While Nostr is useful for many things, Coracle focuses on providing a high-quality user experience. Check it out at coracle.social.

Dufflepud is a companion server which you can self-host. It helps Coracle with things like link previews and image uploads.

Coracle is currently in alpha - expect bugs, slow loading times, and rough edges.

Bugs

• Completely redo notes fetching, it's buggy as heck
  • uniq and sortBy are sprinkled all over the place, figure out a better solution
  • Search page is slow and likes don't show up. Probably move this server-side
  • User detail is not filtering by author
• Add alerts for replies to posts the user liked
• Support bech32 keys/add guide on how to convert
• With link/image previews, remove the url from the note body if it's on a separate last line
• Stack views so scroll position isn't lost on navigation
• We're sending client=astral tags, event id 125ff9dc495f65d302e8d95ea6f9385106cc31b81c80e8c582b44be92fa50c44

• Sync user

• Based on petnames, sync network to 2 or 3 degrees of separation

• Main fetch requests:

  • Fetch network, including feed
  • Fetch person, including feed
  • Fetch note, including context
  • This is based on detail pages. Each request should check local db and fall back to network, all within an await.

• How will newcomers get followed?
