nostr.blue 0.8.17 is now live on the web and zapstore!
The biggest change is a complete overhaul of the Topics system. We've migrated from hashtag-based topic posts to NIP-73 web URLs, bringing topics in line with the spec and making them interoperable across clients. Topic pages now load instantly from your local cache, then stream fresh content from relays in real time. You'll see a "Show N new posts" banner when new content arrives, similar to what you'd expect from a modern feed.
You can now see who someone follows and who follows them with the new Followers/Following modal. It shows profile pictures, display names, and a follow/unfollow button for each user with paginated loading.
Live chat for streams and nests is now relay-aware — it connects directly to the relays specified in the NIP-53 event so chat messages actually reach the right audience.
Plus a huge number of bug fixes covering feed pagination, notification lifecycle, wallet security, invoice parsing, and crash resilience across the app.
We're continuing to expand our tester base for Google Play. If you'd like to help, enroll at https://groups.google.com/g/nostrblue
