Discussion: Possible addition of a "Library Browser" mode? #207

Hi. I am considering using Coracle for my online communities. I am new to the Nostr ecosystem, but it seems like the Coracle project has its kelp all in a row. There are two things I'm still looking for in a Nostr client:

  1. I'm trying to find a Nostr client that makes it easy to manage content in some kind of 'library browser' view. Since Nostr is event-based, most clients focus on a feed view, which makes it hard to browse and organize past content (and develop communal intelligence and historical awareness of past content).

  2. Related to this is wanting to have 'home base' Nostr client on my main computer where my content syncs to, as files on my hard drive, so that my Nostr content is never trapped in a walled garden or database.

Do you know any software that addresses this, or are there any plans to add features like this to Coracle?

Thank you for making Coracle, it makes sense and has a really good onboarding UX too!

I'm glad you like it! I do think curations are a good idea, that's what was behind the Explore tab (powered by NIP 32 labels), as well as the list feature (under the overflow menu and available on feeds). Both these features are in sort of a proof-of-concept stage and will be revisited when I have a chance. Yakihonne does curations of long-form content, but it seems limited to that. So, short answer is: yes, eventually.

On point number 2, I would recommend simply running your own relay. You can do that non-custodially using Umbrel or Start9, or custodially using nostr.tools.
