Nostur is such an amazing client, according to my iPhone, is my #2 most used app, after a podcast player, so my most used nostr client on mobile.

If you haven't paid attention to Nostur you are absolutely missing out on something very special.

The Nostur Report: 2023 in review
along with some of my favorite bookmarks and thank you’s.

On Jan 4th I clicked on this button and it would eventually become Nostur:


Few know it started because scrolling in Damus was buggy (back then):


After some progress I made my announcement and first post on nostr:

I had been quietly posting updates into an empty void for some time until I got a repost from


then Jack mentioned Nostur once, but then never again 🥲
still grateful for indirectly supporting through , thank you 

Pablo said Nostur is fantastic and Nostur started to gain some traction


This was at the time when Nostur was still very buggy, so thanks for the encouragement

back then some of the UX was so bad that if you die on Nostur you die in real life:

We saw Apple ban zaps and I wrote a Nostur mission


was the first to discover some sly roundabout way for zaps and share it

People kept losing their follow list in other clients and kept informing them over and over that they can restore with Nostur:


informed me about NIP-96, a spec for hosting media files and suggested to use WordPress for this. With some help from ChatGPT Nostr Media Uploads for WordPress was born:

The spam problem got solved, with some caveats, which I wrote about in Nostr and the accidental Web of Trust:


And I haven’t posted about this one much yet but it exists: a Swift package to start building your own nostr client:

Finally special thanks to , , and for pushing Nostur to the limits, finding bugs, suggesting improvements and showing demos like:

I know I missed some, I have many bookmarks and I also lost a few migrating to a new system.

I’m not much of a marketeer so I rely on all of you to describe your experiences, thank you all!

BTW: if some of the embedded posts are not loading, consider adding an archival relay to your relay settings: wss://relay.nostr.band and wss://a.nos.lol should get you all the posts you need.
