- New 'about' view wired into sidebar nav (♥ support) and App.tsx - Sections: in-app zap button (reuses ZapModal + NWC infra), Lightning address QR + copy, Bitcoin address QR + copy, Ko-fi link, GitHub link, version/tech credits footer - QR codes rendered as SVG via react-qr-code (no canvas dependency) - lightning: URI and bitcoin: URI formats for wallet-scannable QR codes - Tasteful and non-nagging — lives in the nav, never pops up unprompted Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A cross-platform desktop Nostr client built with Tauri 2.0 + React + TypeScript. Aimed at being the best Nostr desktop experience — polished UI, deep Lightning integration, and first-class support for long-form writing.
Named as a nod to Nostr with a wry twist.
