The Nostur Report 2024
This is my second end of year report, along with some of my favorite bookmarks and thank you's.
This year there were 7 Nostur app store releases and over 36 TestFlight releases, some feature highlights from this year:
- Nostr Nests integration (Live audio spaces)
- Live video streams and chats
- Outbox / Relay Autopilot
- Video uploads
- Top Zaps
- Discover and 😂-feeds
- VPN detection
- Relay connection statistics
I build Nostur by building the features I want and need:
and when they hate you but still want to use your app I know I'm building the right stuff:
I was on Plebchain Radio this year with QW (npub1tvq…krq4) and AviBurra (npub1hqa…t56s)

and on Thank God for Nostr with hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn)
Demand for nostr in 2024 and beyond?
We may have gotten some more free speech on Twitter but it's still the same centralized system where you don't own your account and where the platform decides what you get to see. Demand for nostr is similar to demand for bitcoin, every time the alternatives fail it grows, and the alternatives keep failing. nostr just needs to be there and ready, and I will do my part with Nostur.
A few things coming in 2025:
- A big one that was meant for 2024 but didn't make it yet is the multi column desktop version
- Improved import/export: Nostur stores most of your data on your device instead of on public relays, this good for privacy and security but bad for interoperability with other nostr apps. Some data can already be exported easily but in order to be a good nostr-citizen this needs improvement.
- Improved Olas/Picture support
- Better search and filtering in bookmarks
- Finally rename Nostur to... ehh?
- and much more
Special thanks again to corndalorian (npub1lrn…qnw5) who keeps trying out and showing new features in Nostur:
and also to Dan ⚡️ (npub14f6…qvty) 🦖 (npub1cda…czgz), lucas (npub16jd…33sv), sebastix (npub1qe3…zefe), cameri (npub1qqq…n47m), Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) and others for great feedback and bug reports
Thanks to OpenSats (npub10pe…n34f) for funding

quoting note16lj…mh0vFabian (npub1n0s…lahe) created an app he uses and for himself from how he uses it and the features he wants.
It just so happens the features are a lot of what everyone wants. 🤣
and when they hate you but still want to use your app I know I'm building the right stuff:
quoting note19sx…daa3Nostur. The dev is an idiot but the app works well.
