So just downloaded Nostrudel source code and added Tauri to it, which creates desktop GUI to an web app. Now I have nice desktop version from noStrudel running on my Linux desktop. "Tauri is an open-source software framework designed to create cross-platform desktop applications on Linux, macOS and Windows using a web frontend. The framework functions with a Rust back-end and a JavaScript front-end WebView using rendering libraries like Tao and Wry."

Binary runs fine but AppImage version still gives me trouble. At some point it was recommended that Ubuntu should be used to build that and other systems might not work but haven't tried that yet. Client still chokes on global feed but that happens on online version too so I suspect that it's entirely separate issue. Did the same with Coracle client too but I like noSrudel more. Maybe at some point I look at that AppImage version again, if I could get it to work.

I was playing with Nostr again and this time I installed strfry to my local computer despite having my own relay on VPS. Then I asked ChatGPT to give me this management script (https://rootservers.eu/manage-relays.py.txt ) that opens streaming to configured list of relays and starts a local relay. When I connect nostrudel just to my local relay that gets all the messages from everywhere, it works super fast. So, this is how you are supposed to use this. I think I understand now.

Finally have my Nostr setup in decent condition. What a fun week has it been. Relay is up and running and I have even made some tools to help me keep it going. My keys are safe in my browser extension. Zaps work with Wallet of Satoshi. Need to get some better wallet at some point though but maybe now I can get back to read rest of those NIPs. https://rootservers.eu/

I did a thing. Made a tool that allows viewing and removing events from Rnostr database. Now... hopefully I never have to use it. View quoted note →

I've been studying Nostr non stop these couple of days. I even set up my own relay (rnostr) and dev environment for coding (Vim+Vite). It's been fun to play with the protocol and relays. Who knows what comes out of this.

best programming font doesn’t exis…

Just installed nostr-rs-relay, algia and nak after reading through first NAPs. Who knows where this road takes me.

Ok fine, I like it. I like Nostr a lot.
