Q1 recap and Q2 roadmap: #506566
The nym pop over is really cool.
I love it too; but I wish the "Stacking since" was in a more intuitive metric. Block height is thematic of course, but it means nothing to me to anchor my perception of time, and I don't think it ever will.
To know what item # people joined is pretty cool but yeah it doesn't really give you any sense of actual time.
@grayruby @elvismercury I'm working on a popover for items too
Something like this:

It's going to work on every #itemid link, including the
stacking sinceinside the user popoverWhat do you think about it?
Disclaimer: I didn't show it to @k00b yet so I don't know if he's going to approve it
Cool!
It's fun to think of all the ways that rich context like this could be brought to bear. Imagine a popup that gave the three items most like this one; or the most recent few items from that particular user, etc.
Yeah I dig it.
Oh the bottom nav changes are just reordering the 'buttons'. Three people independently told me they were in an unintuitive order and I found myself still hesitating every time I used bottom nav even after a few weeks of use.
Just when I got used to it! Lol
Here's an idea.
Every web site should hash not only passwords but also email addresses....
This seems like an obvious move with our daily reports of data breaches. The best way to secure data is to not have it. The second best is to hash it.
I know. I had been thinking about doing this since the beginning of SN. There's really no reason not to other than not being able to contact people non-transactionally.
I should have added the tradeoffs. Honestly, it hadn't occurred to me before reading your post...
But it seems obvious now. Many of us use junk email addresses or email aliasing services but man if this became more standardized as a practice it could do a LOT of info security of the masses.
I haven't thought through the tradeoffs but one that jumps to mind are email marketing services.
The biggest downside for customers is not getting important updates/info because the site has no way of contacting you out of band.
The biggest downside for companies is the above + marketing.
I ran into this with https://gitern.com/ ... we used ssh pubkeys for login so I couldn't contact the customers! It sucked when I wanted to get feedback ... but it was also part of the appeal.
If there were only a pub key encrypted form of communication we could use to replace email comms.
I know Nostr isn't ready to fill this role but email really is a weakness in this whole digital world we've created.
I'd love to hear people smarter than me talk about the tradeoffs of using public key encryption as a replacement for email. But I wonder if we end up in the same spot with a pile of pubkeys instead of email addresses...
With something like nostr, native contact lists might make it a little more manageable relative to email. With email there’s also the assumption that it’s a private inbox, which you can’t assume with nostr because you blast your pubkey everywhere.
I love small quality of life changes that I didn't even realize I needed until I see them in action.
I'm not sure if this was intentional, but the reward estimates for non-hidden stackers are no longer displaying.

Oh weird. I'll look into it.

Very good, this is a good privacy enhancing feature
awesome! I'm a fan of the hover detail @felipe
Images aren't opening with these links anymore? I sometimes copy them to reuse later, but it seems they're no longer working.

They work, but not on
previewfor some reason. This has been broken for awhile now.Oh, I see! It seems it doesn't work only in the preview. It should have appeared in my previous comment. Check out this image.

Mhh, for me, both images show up (preview or as a reply)

I deployed a fix :)
You're right

Oh did the mobile nav bar change too? Profile is in the right now
bottom nav threw me off for a bit. LOL
I love that it works even for my nym (@_error) 😜
the popover is fucking great
good job! keep building.

Great job from all the contributors! Love the improvements!
In the bottom nav, SN in the middle was better. I mean design wise and also for the uses.
What made you change it? Previous one was better.
People said it was confusing because all other websites put it to the left. We can always change it back. Let's live with it for a bit.
That's great! Loving the hover effect. It will be nice to also see if the user has any other public profile available (i.e. nostr or github or if is a dev contributor) with the relative icon near the username/cowbow.
For felipe could be like this

Oh another thing! I'm glad that autowitdraw nodes using CLN can now connect via TOR. Any plan to enable the same feature for LND nodes? I'm getting an error when trying
33s [lnd] ERROR could not connect to LND: No connection established. Last error: undefined 33s [lnd] ERROR failed to attach walletLND nodes should work over Tor but there might be a bug. I'll create a ticket.
glorious stuff
Great job freaks!
