Habla release: Connect the World

A new version of Habla is available with Nostr Connect compatibility, local drafts, and RTL language improvements.

I'm happy to announce a new release of Habla.

Nostr connect

Users can now login via Nostr Connect remote signers. Both bunker:// URLs and NIP-46 compatible nostr addresses (NIP-05) are supported.

Local drafts

Some users have reported Habla eating their blog posts. To avoid the issue Habla will now automatically save the post you are editing in local storage. The option to store drafts on nostr still exists if you want to continue editing from another client or device.

RTL languages

Habla is now translated to Hebrew. The translator was kind enough to review the RTL compatibility of the site and we have fixed multiple layout and text direction issues for RTL language users.

Extracting Habla core code

The core Habla code has been extracted to a library called ngine and I have ported several apps to it. These apps are currently using it:

The next step is to start using it from Habla and document it so other nostr devs can leverage it for building apps quicker. The library has similar scope as Osty so will probably join forces with , expect some news about this soon.


Happy curating, reading and writing!
