I propose this quick redesign, primary intended to highlight the new NIP-17 DM:

• A label identifying the encryption mode, with an information pop-up describing its features/limits; I'm not sure about the "Basic encryption" definition, maybe we need to emphasize that it's weak?

• Top "Last notes" and "Profile" buttons;

• Update the icon for the message preferences, using the standard icon used everywhere;

@bu5hm4nn I will create a different issue for the info popover component.

Each message in your DM feed could be either weak or strong. Maybe we should highlight each message.

[daniele]

Right, let's mark the weak messages.
We can apply the info popover here, too.

Update:

[bu5hm4nn]

After fiddling with the note rendering for quite a while I have the following to say
a) currently rendering and parsing the note are not separate, they are inter-twined all the way down to showing shattered content
b) this means that refactoring only a part of the code is virtually impossible / or could have huge hard-to test consequences since many code paths only show on certain note content.

So unfortunately that means I need to re-write note rendering in order to create the design proposed here for DM's. That is not a bad thing, but it means this would be delayed by at least another week (with testing).

I would suggest planning a re-write of note rendering, but combining it with creating automated tests (where we create a folder of json test data for different note scenarios), so that we can start assure good results.

For now I suggest using this simplified note display for DMs:

ok

I was planning to redesign it, I will go on.

Ok.
Is it possibile at least to hide the useless bullet button that point to the current note?

Regarding the tooltip for the encryption strength indicator. I would recommed we write a detailed explanation on how to switch to Giftwrap encryption on the help pages and link to that page in the tooltip. Unless someone writes a text first I will just write one up which can then be improved.

[bu5hm4nn]

A few small things missing, but please review @dtonon. I also need us all to check that I didn't break main feed note rendering. #807

[daniele]

@bu5hm4nn it's ok, you can just add more space between the elements on bottom-right (indicator, date, seen on).

Some more notes:

• If a DM is a reply the parent overlap the name; we can also simply hide the link for the time being;
• If a DM uses NIP-44 we should treat it as the default situation, so I would not show anything, or at least not a green dot, it is too prominent; if we want to highlight the new encryption, lets use a dot with a very dark gray;
• Remove "DIRECT MESSAGE TO: dtonon", it is not necessary;

To do:

• Add the encryption badge that partially overlap the compose area (let me know if it is too complex, we can find an alternative solution)
• Add the top right button "Last notes" and "Profile"

About the action menu, I would organizer it this way:

Copy text
- To clipboard
- Via QR Code

Manage
- Delete
- Annotate
- Rebrodcast (X)

Bookmark
- Public
- Private

Copy ID
- Nevent
- Note
- Hex

Debug
- Show Json
- Copy Json
- Rerender
- Dismiss

The annotate doesn't seem to work for me.
Would be nice show the QR Code and the Json in a modal; it is prettier and also easier to revert (close button).
