🚀 Optimizing Nostr Logos for a Faster, Leaner Future Some think decentralization is slow or resource-heavy. But efficiency is a choice. Every unnecessary kilobyte adds up, impacting speed, user experience, and even energy consumption. By optimizing 7 Nostr logo SVGs, I reduced file sizes without any loss in quality, making them lighter, faster, and more sustainable. Small changes like this contribute to a more efficient and accessible decentralized ecosystem. Big thanks to @mbarulli @bembureda for creating the original logo. It's great to contribute my knowledge about optimization to help improve an icon that so many in the Nostr community use. 💡 How? 🔹 Adobe Illustrator (thought its not a open source solution but later we will find a solution on this ) removes unused definitions, normalizes & compress SVG structure 🔹 SVGO then: Rounds numbers to 2 decimal Removes unnecessary attributes Optimizes path data Url: jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ Preserves essential style/colors 🔹 A simple CLI script combines both tools for best results! 🔗 PR: github.com/mbarulli/nostr-logo/pull/2 ⚡ #nostrDev #nostrUX #UXdesign #FOSS #Devstr #sustainability #nostrdevs

A couple of days ago, I traveled to Dhaka. The carbon emissions there are overwhelming. It got me thinking—how can we contribute to reducing this? As a dev, I’m doing my part by building carbon-less websites 🌱 that consume 95% less carbon than average sites. Every line of code can make a difference! Let’s innovate for a greener future. 💻🌿 #BuildGreen #SustainableDev #CarbonNeutral #WebPerformance #EcoTech #ClimateAction #DevLife#CleanCode #WebDev

Last couple of weeks I need work on a different project, missing Nostr these days, I will be back soon on nostr developing within 1-2day again. And start coding for free open source 😉. #nostr #dev #grownostr #WebDev #OpenSource

Excited to be working on making Nostr development easier and more accessible easier for everyone, mostly for new developers who don't have any experience! hellonostr.dev 🚀 #nostr #dev #grownostr #WebDev #OpenSource

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into Nostr, studying the protocol and its potential for decentralization and freedom in communication. I'm excited to share that I’ve started building an open-source client: 'Hello Nostr,' a simple 'Hello World' style project designed for new developers who want to start with Nostr. 🚀 Together with @Nomishka and @Jurjen de Vries, we’ve released the first version on GitLab:

GitLab

Digital Ethics Agency / Nostr / Hello Nostr · GitLab

GitLab.com

🌍 It's fully client-side, with code comments to help you understand how it works. You can try it out here:

Hello Nostr

Hello Nostr is a simple starter kit designed for developers new to Nostr.

and find the documentation at https://hellonostr.dev/. We're looking for feedback from the community to improve it further! #Nostr #OpenSource #HelloNostr #WebDev #Decentralization #GrowNostr #Feedback
