When I was working part-time at Soapbox, or before I worked there at all, my previous job had periods of downtime mixed with busy stretches. That downtime allowed me to be on Nostr frequently and post throughout the day.
Now that Iโm full-time at Soapbox, Iโm incredibly busy, and I find myself posting on Nostr far less than I used to.
I just wanted to say that I miss you Nostr. I hope you're well. I hope you're thriving. Keep building.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! ๐๐ค๐ป๐ซ
It's good to be home.
Stuck in an airport for 6 hours, but you're vibe coding, so it's no big.
There won't be a vibe coding jam session later this evening, but don't worry, I am still hanging out with my friend Claude.

When your connecting flight is delayed, you don't get mad, you bring out the vibes with #OpenCode.
The most exciting moment for me this past weekend was around 3am early Sunday morning, 18 hours into the hackathon, when @hzrd149 cracked Bitchat for Capacitor, enabling Bitchat support with BLE mesh for our Android and iOS (assuming iOS works, untested at this point) apps.
I had my doubts.
@Alex Gleason had faith in the code.
@hzrd149 gave up a few hours earlier.
But @hzrd149 persisted. And his hard work and persistence paid off.

I feel like it's 2023 all over again. Amethyst won't stay open for more than a minute without crashing ๐ฅน
This app was built with #Shakespeare and #OpenCode.

The HRF AI Hackathon at Bitcoin Park left me with three big takeaways.
First, Iโm more bullish than ever on building freedom technology for the people who need it most, human rights activists and freedom fighters. These tools matter, and they make a real difference.
Second, modern AI-powered software development is absolutely incredible. Huge shout-out to OpenCode and Shakespeare (and Claude Opus 4.5). Our team could not have taken second place without them.
And finally, we need a Nostr AI Hackathon. What our team was able to build by being locked in a room together for a sleep-deprived weekend was both fun and astonishing. We accomplished an incredible amount in a very short time.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr. ๐ค๐ป๐ซ๐
