• Research how we'll implement NIP-30 and NIP-57.
• Plan and design UX changes based on outcome of research above.
• Fix wallet functionality.
• Make some improvement to our Nostr integrations scripts and import more memes! We wanna get over 25,000 memes on the app by next week.
• Make a start on adding NIP57 zaps.

• discovered NIP-25 emoji reactions!!!! This is honestly huge for us. We were super stoked when we found this NIP. We already vaguely knew about reactions, but when we read the NIP we realized it allows for custom emojis! This is fantastic because it means we don't need to ditch reactions from our app as we had planned last week. All we need to do is modify them slightly and they'll work in a fully Nostr compatible manner.
• Made improvements to scripts that we currently use to integrate with Nostr - allows us to more easily and effectively trawl Nostr for dank memes.
• Various bits of research and tinkering around integrating Nostr zaps (NIP-57), reactions (NIP-25) & reposts (NIP-30).
• Added tons of new memer profiles & memes (added about 13,0000 new memes)
• Added meme categories so all the new memes are easier to navigate.
• Upgrades to the meme card's UI in preparation for the new Nostr features.
• Various small layout tweaks and some bug fixes.

• Smiley face - the reaction button: last week we thought we'd be removing this, but to our great joy we discovered NIP-25 custom emoji reactions! So we're gunna keep our custom emoji reactions but modify how they work. We'll probably decouple zaps from reactions (currently to react you have to pay sats, we'll make it free), and broadcast the reactions over Nostr!
• Thumbs up - the like button: As well as having custom emoji reactions, we'll also have a more generic + (like) button with a count next to it showing the amount of likes an emoji has received. This will be fully compatible with Nostr.
• Thumbs down - the dislike button: Same as above but for negative like.
• Lightning - the zap button: As we mentioned in the first point above, we'll be decoupling zaps from reactions. So, we're gunna add a zap button so users can send zaps over Nostr.
• Up arrow - the repost button: so users can repost a meme to their Nostr feed.

• the expand button: so you can see the meme in it's original size. will open in a lightbox/modal.
• the share button: will trigger a browser share dialog so users can fire the meme to friends easily.

• Integrate zaps (NIP-57)
• Integrate reactions (NIP-25)
• Fix wallet functionality. (We wanted to do this last week, but delayed it in order to tie it in with our zaps integration)

We really wanna do some more marketing and user acquisition work, but we'll probably hold off on any big pushes on this front for a few weeks until the dust has settled a little around our UX & product roadmap changes.
