William Casarin 8f63546524 ui: wrap reply description
This is similar to our fix in:

- Fixes: ee85b754dd ("Fix text wrapping issues")

Where removing the ui.horizontal call fixes subsequent main wrap layout
issues. It's still not clear to me where wrap state is getting mutated
where it would affect subsequent ui calls...

NoteDeck UI

UI component library for NoteDeck - a Nostr client built with EGUI.

Overview

The notedeck_ui crate provides a set of reusable UI components for building a Nostr client. It offers consistent styling, behavior, and rendering of Nostr-specific elements like notes, profiles, mentions, and media content.

This library is built on top of egui, a simple, fast, and highly portable immediate mode GUI library for Rust.

Features

  • 📝 Note display with rich content, media, and interactions
  • 👤 Profile components (display name, pictures, banners)
  • 🔗 Mention system with hover previews
  • 🖼️ Image handling with caching and lazy loading
  • 📺 GIF playback support
  • 💸 Zap interactions (Bitcoin Lightning tips)
  • 🎨 Theming and consistent styling

Components

Notes

The NoteView widget is the core component for displaying Nostr notes:

// Example: Render a note
let mut note_view = NoteView::new(
    note_context,
    current_account,
    &note, 
    NoteOptions::default()
);

ui.add(&mut note_view);

NoteView supports various display options:

// Create a preview style note
note_view
    .preview_style()       // Apply preview styling
    .textmode(true)        // Use text-only mode
    .actionbar(false)      // Hide action bar
    .small_pfp(true)       // Use small profile picture
    .note_previews(false)  // Disable nested note previews
    .show(ui);

Profiles

Profile components include profile pictures, banners, and display names:

// Display a profile picture
ui.add(ProfilePic::new(images_cache, profile_picture_url).size(48.0));

// Display a profile preview
ui.add(ProfilePreview::new(profile_record, images_cache));

Mentions

The mention component links to user profiles:

// Display a mention with hover preview
let mention_response = Mention::new(ndb, img_cache, txn, pubkey)
    .size(16.0)            // Set text size
    .selectable(true)      // Allow selection
    .show(ui);

// Handle click actions
if let Some(action) = mention_response.inner {
    // Handle profile navigation
}

Media

Support for images, GIFs, and other media types:

// Render an image
render_images(
    ui,
    img_cache,
    image_url,
    ImageType::Content,
    cache_type,
    on_loading_callback,
    on_error_callback,
    on_success_callback
);

Styling

The UI components adapt to the current theme (light/dark mode) and use consistent styling defined in the colors.rs module:

// Color constants
pub const ALMOST_WHITE: Color32 = Color32::from_rgb(0xFA, 0xFA, 0xFA);
pub const MID_GRAY: Color32 = Color32::from_rgb(0xbd, 0xbd, 0xbd);
pub const PINK: Color32 = Color32::from_rgb(0xE4, 0x5A, 0xC9);
pub const TEAL: Color32 = Color32::from_rgb(0x77, 0xDC, 0xE1);
