Last Notes
Thanks, I'll take a look! A "restore a previous version of my follow or mute list" option would fit well next to the checks Quill already does before signing a list change. If I add something like it, I'll make sure to credit Lazarus.
PWA is the best option. Lightweight and more private.
One more: a Highlights view, next to Follows, Network and Popular.
It looks for substance, not likes. Over the last two days it takes notes with something to say (40+ words of their own) by the people you follow, plus notes by anyone that they replied to, quoted, or that at least two of them shared. One repost alone doesn't bring a stranger in.
Talk weighs most and a like little. Two notes per author at most, never yours, and each one says who of your follows talked about it.
It's a rule, not an editor: it can't read, so now and then something light slips in. But it surfaces far more than a like count does.
A few more things in Quill, the text-first Nostr client that tells you why it hides things:
• Send zaps with your own wallet through Nostr Wallet Connect. The connection string stays only on that device, with a clear warning that it can spend, and Quill pays only if the invoice asks for exactly the amount you chose.
• Other people's notes now show their zaps, and who sent them. Only zaps: Quill never shows how many likes or reposts a note got, so a count doesn't decide what looks important.
• Notes that arrive from people's own relays while you are reading further down no longer move the page: a button at the top says how many came.
• Optional real profile pictures, off by default and only for people you follow. Everyone else keeps a drawn avatar, so no spam account can put a picture in front of you.

More news in Quill, the text-first Nostr client that tells you why it hides things:
• Zaps: your notes show the sats they got and who sent them, checked against the zap receipt.
• Drafts: what you write is kept if you leave the page.
• You can edit your profile description and delete your own notes.
• Two new filter rules: notes made of mentions (used to flood someone's notifications), and notes that are not text (an app's JSON or a long base64 blob posted as a note). Both say why; you can open them anyway.
• The trust score now weighs your own network: an account vouched for by people you follow counts more, and one muted by them counts less.
• Search has Filters: show all, people or notes, and search in what is loaded or, only if you choose it, in the network.
• People are also read where they write (NIP-65): if someone you follow publishes only on relays that are not yours, Quill asks a few of theirs, just for them. A switch in Settings turns it off.

But this note got blocked by the Damus relay again. It definitely looks like intermittent rate limiting 👇🏻

Congrats on the launch! Lazarus is a great idea: overwritten lists are one of the scariest things in Nostr. I just added muting to my own client, Quill, and went the cautious way: it reads your newest mute list right before signing, changes only that one account, keeps the private part untouched, and refuses if the list looks smaller than expected. Nice to know there's a safety net if something slips through anyway.
Heads-up for anyone using relay.nostr.net: today it refused most connections from my side (HTTP 500 on 4 of 5 attempts; the relay info page itself answers fine), so my notes kept landing on 5 of 6 relays.
I swapped it for relay.damus.io in Quill's defaults and in my own relay list. relay.snort.social was the fastest I tried, but it only keeps events in memory; nostr.bitcoiner.social and offchain.pub reject events from keys outside their web of trust.
If you run it and want details, happy to share what I saw. #nostr #relays
Why I built my own Nostr signer
My phone signer kept failing when I needed it. iOS suspends apps, its background wake-ups were unreliable for me, and after I deleted one connection I could not pair it again. Quill, my relay's admin panel and my MCP assistant all stopped signing in the same day.
So I wrote hivescope-bunker, a NIP-46 remote signer for one account that runs on my own server:
• The key is encrypted on disk (NIP-49) and the bunker starts locked: I unlock it by hand after a restart
• Each app has its own connection that can sign only the kinds of event it needs, with an hourly limit
• The relay panel's connection signs only logins for its own address
• No open ports: it only connects out to relays
The trade-off is real: my key now lives, encrypted, on a server instead of in a phone keychain. Open source, MIT, written in Go:

Clarification: that relay rejects my replies too, not only reactions (this thread's reply included). It still accepts my own standalone notes.
A small addition from a real case: it can also be applied by relays when you write, not only by readers. nostr.bitcoiner.social rejected a reaction from my key with "pubkey is not in our web of trust", while accepting my notes.
There are nice people everywhere. Sometimes the hard part is finding them.
Now I get what this is about 👌🏻
What’s WoT? Is there a note that explains it?
What I also notice is that the connection with Clave sometimes fails, so there are events that don't get registered or the relay gives an authentication failure. The problem may be more with Clave than with Nostr.Vault.
