Weg.li is a website that allows you to post photo evidence of illegal parking, and automatically notifies local police via email of the violation. Weg.li is currently widely used in most of Germany. Being part of a community also means respecting other people's right to safe crossroads, accessible cycle paths, clear sidewalks, ... I understand this might result controversial to some, but I’d really love to see a tool like this in my town. I also appreciate the fact that this was a grassroots initiative that eventually got the attention and support of several local police districts. /cc @Katja Diehl

"If the Democrats are serious about getting back to some of their roots as the party of working class people [...], they will find Bitcoin is an incredible tool to that end. With Bitcoin there is no barrier to ownership, no middleman, no broker or bank you must use or be “accredited” by." @Trey Walsh take on the recent elections, full article here:

Nostr prompted me to redesign my entire online presence: - Personal website: Built using @npub1pr4d...mkzp, it aggregates long-form articles published with @npub1w0rt...cu4x, and it uses a custom domain courtesy of @brugeman. (https://marco.barulli.it) - Contact page: While still hosted on Github, it now embeds a contact form created with @Form*, an amazing Nostr-based form builder service (https://mbarulli.github.io) - X/Twitter, Facebbok, and LinkedIn: I've pinned posts announcing Nostr as my new home. This is also my advice to you: don't delete your existing social media accounts, keep them active to direct your audience to Nostr.

Wouldn’t be great if all websites had these icons in the footer? image An RSS feed to receive updates, Bitcoin and Lightning addresses to send payments, a Nostr npub to get and stay in touch. If you like that Nostr icon, you can get it here: PNG, SVG, CC0 license. /cc npub1xyd5ja34s4nk0l6urnh69wx9ep6uuxz2ujrkm2f8n6pfhgqa6y5s2xn6n2 npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrmvam6nkd4lg928nwmgl78374kn29sq9t53j npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
