Amethyst update v0.81.3 bring Shopster support and a ton of new features, enhancements and fixes. See note for details:
quoting

#Amethyst v0.81.3: Shopstr and NIP-88 support



This version improves the rendering of Classifieds and adds an option to DM the seller directly in the post. It adds support for nostr.wine's NOTIFY spec (NIP-88) that allows relays to display messages when subscriptions are expired or another payment is requested. We also migrated our block list to the `kind:10000` as requested by this [PR](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/880). We also completely restructured the way events are signed to better support Amber's async calls and slighly improved our performace and data usage in many parts of the app.

Enjoy!

- Massive refactoring to unify our internal signer with Amber's signer in all supported events
- Adds [NIP-88](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/901) NOTIFY request support
- Migrates our Block list to `kind:10000`
- Fixes the breaking of @s when other words are combined with the nostr address
- Adds default encryption and decryption permissions to the Amber login call to avoid multiple Amber screens open at once by
- Adds support for sending/receiving/approving multiple events at once by
- Adds a chat with seller flow to ShopStr's event rendering.
- Reduces the amount of downloads to build the Notification chart of the week
- Immediatly force-closes the WebSocket when leaving the app
- Narrows the re-downloads of event reactions down
- Fixes the blue notification dot appearing when the user receives a notification from a blocked account before downloading the blocklist
- Fixes URL Preview card when websites use a blended version of multiple open graph specs
- Adds a geohash mipmap to event tags
- Reduces multiple reconnections to relays when the app cold starts.
- Adds back arrow button to the top of the Nav bar of the Thread view.
- Fixes race conditions when opening videos at the same time
- Fixes spacing when drawing POW and Geolocation at the same time
- Runs the translation as the UI Scope instead of ViewModel's
- Migrates the event's tag list from List to Array to save some bytes.
- Increases connection timeouts when on mobile data.
- Improves the EOSE logic when creating filters by grouping filter requests with similar `since`clauses
- Fixes video release coroutine being killed by Android, leaving the Video playing in the background
- Adds a cache of the total amount of Zaps per note
- Allows sat amounts up to 4 digits without abbreviation @vicariousdrama
- Improves the rendering of LN Invoice Previews.
- Fixes error message when parsing LnInvoice
- Updates several dependencies

Shopstr dev says custom storefronts are on the roadmap, and shares info on how to currently share your listings.
quoting

Custom storefronts aren’t supported yet, but are in the roadmap. You can get straight to listing with your current key pair, or generate a completely new one from the sign in page. Currently you can only share your listings using https://shopstr.store/%3Cyour_npub_here%3E, but we’re working on adding links that’ll point directly to a specific item.

What is the gossip model
quoting

If you want to know more in detailed about the original idea from Mike please read his good explanation of it here.

More recently, people have been calling it the outbox model, since you go fetch notes from your feed followed contacts declared outbox relays.

There is also the issue of reacting (likes, replies, reposts) to other peoples notes by broadcasting your reaction to their inbox declared relays, which is usually called the inbox model.

A good graphical explanation from Mike is this:

<img src="https://mikedilger.com/gossip-model/gossip-model.png" style="width:400px; height:400px"/>

Yana

We believe that by using a good gossip model it helps increase nostr decentralization and censorship resistance.

So how does Yana implement specifically these models?

Yana uses https://github.com/relaystr/dart_ndk lib for nostr interaction and relay connectivity management.

The currently implemented features in the lib are:

Load your followed contacts relay lists

It will try to find each contact relay list using your personal inbox relays merged with a pre-defined bootstrap relays known to have these lists, like for example wss://purplepag.es relay.

Sources are, sorted by priority: - from NIP-65 write (outbox) marked. - from kind3 content (Contact lists NIP-02).

It doesn't merge lists, if it finds a nip-65 it will not use kind3 list.

(in future will also fetch from NIP-05 list as a fallback)

Calculate a relay set for outbox feed

  • The calculated set will contain the minimal amount of relays for fetching notes for everybody from at least a configurable amount (setting "Minimal amount of relays per contact").
  • It will consider a relay valid to be included in the set if:
    • It can connect to it (or already connected)
    • It's not on the blocked relay list (NIP-51 kind 10006)
  • It will start from the relays that have the most amount of contacts, and go down the list until every contact has at least the minimal amount satisfied.

By changing the minimal amount you are able to better adjust for either less data usage, or more censorship resistance.\ The more relays you load notes from for a given contact, the better the chance you have of avoiding potential censorship by a bad behaving relay.\ A value somewhere between 2-5 is usually a good compromise.

Reactions

  • When adding a reaction (likes, replies, reposts) it will calculate a similar relay set as described above for outbox feed, but instead it will take into consideration inbox (read) relays of all the people involved in the conversation plus your own personal write (outbox) relays.
  • To increase reach and probability of being seen by as much people as possible you can adjust the maximum amount of relays to which to broadcast (setting "Max amount of relays per reaction")
  • You can choose precisely which relays to broadcast as a confirmation step on replies. Likes and reposts will use the configured default values.

A value of 5-15 is usually good.

New posts

  • It just uses your configured personal write (outbox) relays

Notifications

  • It uses your configured personal read (inbox) relays

Profile notes

  • It will use inbox relays for given profile if it is a contact, or default personal inbox relays otherwise.
  • TODO - use all declared relays for given profile, both write (outbox for new posts) as well as read (inbox for replies).

Thread view

  • TODO (still uses personal read relays)

DMS

  • TODO (still uses personal read relays)
