When the user unlocks the private key or just skip the login, he faces an empty page with a (useless) "load more" button for some seconds:

Can we start fetching the data immediately when Gossip starts, at least if the user didn't select "Start in offline mode" in a previous session?

If that is not possibile, we can fallback with a better loading view

I don't think we should load the data immediately, I think the 'loading' screen @bu5hm4nn just did ( that you designed ) is sufficient.

We could load local database events, but it's complexity and complexity that makes gossip harder and harder to maintain.

Well we could load a local cache version of the feed and then update to the live later?

Is it for a specific reason? Just to understand your pov.

Actually, if I access "offline" the feed is immediately available, so the db data is already used in this case. Showing it could be a solution, but you will have a refresh in some seconds and since the feed auto scrolls, you will loose the context. I would avoid that.

It's not a critical point of course, just a nice touch.

I can't reproduce. If I start in offline mode I see all the local notes just fine. I don't see any useless empty feed.
