Nostr vibes?
Living and learning:
GPL is fundamentally incompatible with the Apple App Store — the store's usage/DRM terms impose "additional restrictions" the GPL absolutely forbids (the well-known VLC takedown). So a GPL dependency would block iOS distribution entirely.
Apple imposes its own EULA on every app. Unless you supply a custom one, the standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies — and even a custom EULA must include Apple's minimum terms. Those terms restrict the user: the app may only be used on Apple devices you own/control, tied to your Apple ID with a device limit, and may not be redistributed. Those are textbook "further restrictions" that GPL §6 (v2) / §10 (v3) forbid a redistributor from adding.
Google Play does the opposite. Its Developer Distribution Agreement says the app is licensed by the developer to the user, and that open-source license terms govern the components they cover — Google's default terms explicitly step aside where an OSS license applies. Google's ToS govern the user↔Google relationship (the store service), not a license layered on top of your app. So no conflicting "further restrictions" get bolted on.
Fun fact: this was a clickbait front cover designed to trigger the fan base. It's not part of any story.


Latex math rendering is looking good!


Adding that first AI feature after years of meticulously crafted code.
I still want to see somebody creating an alternative to the relay network and querying filters we have today.
Essentially, reuse our signed events in a more interesting query language, event distribution and caching systems.
Nothing is lost, just a different way to spread Nostr events.
