2023-08-24 05:29:59It's been about a week since I discovered YakiHonne and we've got another round of updates to test. The fact that the YakiHonne team has pushed more updates this soon is exciting as that means the app is iterating at a fast pace, which usually means a quick response to user feedback.
With that said, let's dive into the 8 updates from this round:
1. Bookmarks - you can save your preferred articles
This feature behaves as expected and similar to how bookmarks work for short notes on clients like Damus.
Got an article you want to read later? Look for the bookmark icon near the top-right. Once you click on that, you'll be prompted to sign the event (I'm using nos2x).
If that went well, you'll see the bookmark icon change to indicate that it was a success.
2. Comments replies threads - you can view and reply to comments within the replies threads
This worked really well and as expected.
After signing the event, the reply was shown inline which was a nice touch.
Although the reply was a success, I discovered a disconnect after looking for my comment on Damus (I believe I found the note by copying the naddr).
It turned out the comment that I replied to had already received a reply from the note author even though YakiHonne displayed "0 REPLY(IES)". I believe this has something to do with differing relays.
3. “sensitive content” - you can decide the type of content as sensitive content when publishing
I don't plan on using this anytime soon, if ever. But I think it can be an important feature moving forward, especially when it comes to relays and clients.
4. Reports counter - view how many users reported a piece of content
I spoke with the YakiHonne team recently and they will be manually reviewing reported accounts to prevent abuse of this feature.
On the flip side, hopefully it'll help with what seems to be a flood of AI-generated content. This is currently a big deterrent to my using YakiHonne as a reader unfortunately. Will be keeping an eye on this one. 👀
5. Images upload - you can directly upload images while writing
What a time saver this one.
Before, I would upload an image using nostr.build, copy the URL, and paste it in here.
Now, all I've gotta do is click the upload button (right next to "Add image"), select a photo from my computer, and the photo is inserted with the correct syntax.
6. Uploads history - you can re-use uploaded images for any written articles
At this point in this article's creation, I've uploaded 3 images and I already see them when I click "Uploads history" in the top-right.
I'm pretty sure this'll come in handy as I write more articles and need to re-use past images.
7. Search - searching users by username/nip-05 identifiers
Hm, this one could use some improvement.
Searching for my fren bitcoin.rocks was unsuccessful despite trying a few variations (e.g. "bitcoin.rocks", "bitcoinrocks", and "bitcoindotrocks") and the NIP-05 (_@bitcoin.rocks). Btw, that first result is incorrect because I checked the npub.
However, searching for the guy that always reminds me to stay humble and stack sats was successful (not sure what the difference between success and failure is).
Finally, when searching for a keyword. The users that were returned in the results aren't the most intuitive. I would think users with "bitcoin" in their username would appear but not a single one.
And it seems like articles shown could potentially not be relevant. I'm assuming any article can show up here if it's tagged with bitcoin.
Looking forward to seeing some improvements here in terms of speed and accuracy.
8. Math equations are now supported using the katex syntax
LFG! Y'all know the only equation that matters. 😎
$$\sum_{i=0}^{32} 210,000 \frac{50}{2^i}$$The trick here is to use "Insert Code" and put the equation between a pair of "$$".
Like so. (Thanks Yofu)
Also, the 32 and "i=0" should go on top of and below the summation, respectively. But I guess this is just a rendering issue that can be fixed.
That's a wrap for this round! YakiHonne is definitely proving to be best long form note editor at the moment for me. I hope the team continues to add new features, and, more importantly, improve the existing ones.
Don't forget to follow me so you don't miss my articles on future updates.
Onward. 🫡
