What's new in Wryster v0.15 - The Cross-platform Nostr desktop client — polished UI, deep Lightning integration, first-class long-form writing
I'm currently testing how it behaves on Windows. Later on I'm gonna test it on Omarchy Linux and on Ubuntu. We're gonna be making releases for 3 distros from now on, because the Appimage is just too annoying to tune for Arch with Hyprland.
New changes are:
Wrystr v0.1.5
Article reader — click any nostr:naddr1… link or long-form article reference to open it in a clean reader with cover image, author, tags, and full markdown content; zap the author inline
Zap counts on notes — ⚡ N sats shown on each note; visible to logged-out users too
Quoted note preview — nostr:note1… and nostr:nevent1… references render as inline bordered cards with author and content preview; click to open thread
Auto-updater — "Update & restart" banner appears when a new version is available; installs and relaunches automatically
New in 0.1.4
Sidebar — explicit ‹/› collapse toggle always visible; collapsed state persisted across restarts; nav icons + tooltips in collapsed mode
