This commit tries to replace all usage of `String` to represent relay URLs and use `RelayURL` which automatically converts strings to a canonical relay URL format that is more reliable and avoids issues related to trailing slashes. Test 1: Main issue fix ----------------------- PASS Device: iPhone 15 Simulator iOS: 17.4 Damus: This commit Steps: 1. Delete all connected relays 2. Add `wss://relay.damus.io/` (with the trailing slash) to the relay list 3. Try to post. Post should succeed. PASS 4. Try removing this newly added relay. Relay should be removed successfully. PASS Test 2: Persistent relay list after upgrade -------------------------------------------- PASS Device: iPhone 15 Simulator iOS: 17.4 Damus: 1.8 (1) `247f313b` + This commit Steps: 1. Downgrade to old version 2. Add some relays to the list, some without a trailing slash, some with 3. Upgrade to this commit 4. All relays added in step 2 should still be there, and ones with a trailing slash should have been corrected to remove the trailing slash Test 3: Miscellaneous regression tests -------------------------------------- Device: iPhone 15 Simulator iOS: 17.4 Damus: This commit Coverage: 1. Posting works 2. Search works 3. Relay connection status works 4. Adding relays work 5. Removing relays work 6. Adding relay with trailing slashes works (it fixes itself to remove the trailing slash) 7. Adding relays with different paths works (e.g. wss://yabu.me/v1 and wss://yabu.me/v2) 8. Adding duplicate relay (but with trailing slash) gets rejected as expected 9. Relay details page works. All items on that view loads correctly 10. Relay logs work 11. Getting follower counts and seeing follow lists on profiles still work 12. Relay list changes persist after app restart 13. Notifications view still work 14. Copying the user's pubkey and profile link works 15. Share note + copy link button still works 16. Connecting NWC wallet works 17. One-tap zaps work 18. Onboarding works 19. Unit tests all passing Closes: https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/2072 Changelog-Fixed: Fix bug that would cause connection issues with relays defined with a trailing slash URL, and an inability to delete them.

damus
A twitter-like nostr client for iPhone, iPad and MacOS.
How is Damus better than twitter?
There are no toxic algorithms.
You can send or receive zaps (satoshis) without asking for permission.
There is no central database. Therefore, Damus is censorship resistant.
There are no ads.
You don't have to reveal sensitive personal information to sign up.
No email is required.
No phone number is required.
Damus is free and open source software.
There is no Big Tech moat. Therefore, seamless interoperability with thousands or millions of other nostr apps is possible, and is how Damus and nostr win.
If there are no ads, how is Damus funded?
Damus offers a paid subscription 🟣 purple 🟣 https://damus.io/purple/.
Initial benefits include a unique subscriber number, subscriber badge, and auto-translate powered by DeepL.
Damus has also graciously received donations or grants from hundreds of Damus users, Opensats, and the Human Rights Foundation.

- To tag a user you must grab their pubkey:
- Search their username in the search bar at the top of the 🔍 Global Feed and click their profile
- Tap the 🔑 icon which will copy their pubkey to your clipboard
- Go back to your 🏠 Personal Feed and tap the blue + button to compose your Note
- Add @ directly followed by the pubkey (e.g.,

Privacy
Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to, and third party media hosters (e.g. nostr.build, imgur.com, giphy.com, youtube.com etc.) that render on Damus. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online.
The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address.
It is public information which other profiles (npubs) you are exchanging DMs with. The content of the DMs is encrypted.
Translations
Translators welcome! Join the Transifex project.
All user-facing strings must have a comment in order to provide context to translators. If a SwiftUI component has a comment parameter, use that. Otherwise, wrap your string with NSLocalizedString with the comment field populated.
Awards
Damus lead dev and founder Will awards developers with satoshis! There may be nostr badges awarded for contributors in the future... :)
