Made some updates to tunestr.io codebase and now my stream shows up. Thinking about streaming open source project development while @OpenMike plays some 🔥 tunes.

Worked on magstr a bit. Built a proper API to fetch nostr long form content events. Working on the frontend next to look more like a publication.

Pumped for the first ever BitBuilders PHX 🙌 I took the concept of BitDevs and expanded it to include dev, marketing, community building, design, product, business and startups topics focused on #Bitcoin and #Nostr to build more builders 👾 It’s critical we have technical people working with product, marketing and business people to deliver scalable business models, best in class UX, position their products well to their target users, and grow their communities. Additionally, we got feedback more than once that the content is interesting to the community but most of it went over their head. We want to #BuildTheBuilders and help our community of builders actualize their dreams 💯 I aim to solve that challenge by creating room for more builders to grow and collaborate with one another ⚛️ Join me at BitBuilders 001 - Tech Talks (Venue TBD) on June 3rd 👇

I had an amazing time at @btcplusplus ! Here's my hackathon project, magstr and blogstr: The Problem - Currently, the publication industry requests individuals to write articles by paying them. This is quite costly and risky for the publications if it doesn’t resonate with their users and lead to higher retention and engagement. - For individuals, the amount is pretty minimal, though, if the publication is the visibility and brand awareness could be worth it. - Additionally, if the writer says something the publication doesn’t like, they can lose their content, the visibility, backlinking, and more. … but what if there was a publication platform that could solve these problems? The Solution Nostr allows users to publish content to a set of relays and grow their following without requiring a particular platform. They could gain the advantage of the visibility to the users of the platform, censorship resistance, and to take their following with them, along with having a higher upside from being able to receive lightning payments. The What - A codebase built on Next.js that is easily deployable to Vercel that uses the nostr network to fetch long-form content events (kind: 30023) and render them in a UI. - It’s easily customizable by using an environmental variable to set an array of pubkeys. - You can create a blog out of this if the array only contains one pubkey, your pubkey. - If you set multiple, you can evolve the UI to become something quite like Bitcoin Magazine. - The codebase is entirely dynamic and it fetches the article writer’s lightning addresses from their nostr profile metadata. Why Now - Community members of Nostr PHX are asking for this. - Get more of the internet off of massive social platforms and more to their own platforms. - Community members and organizers that are marketers want to be able to contribute more to the nostr network. - Disrupt publication incentives and costs. - Get more communities to use nostr without needing to know Nostr. - Value 4 value, enabling the users to not have a ceiling on their earnings. - Empower publishers to easily aggregate nostr content to one place and curate the experience. Codebase You can view the instructions to setup and deploy the codebase in the GitHub repository. github.com/zantoshi/magstr Thanks ~Santos.

Look how fast the ideas to designs are flying. Amazing. FOSS and open network man. Who will be the first to implement? View quoted note →

I think Nostr eventually replace RSS and Email. RSS is simple. JSON > XML as a dev. Email is awful to build for and who wants email providers to be able to read all of their emails? Encrypted DMs with long form content and a tag to indicate it as an “email” then the app having an email like frontend or client would already be much more superior. There could be a relay that doesn’t allow for querying of events either so then others can’t check who is receiving emails from who. Or better yet, run your own relay that others can’t query to send events to. It would be a level up in privacy and it wouldn’t matter anymore about using a single provider like Gmail. With nostr ids, you could even change npubs to receive to if you needed to. Wouldn’t be able to decrypt without still having the secret, though. Interesting to think about.
