@rabble What do you think of Ruby on Rails for Nostr development? I love it and LLMs are good at it, but heard mixed views on backends for Nostr apps.

Would you agree with Dixon's Read, Write, Own if "blockchain" was replaced with "nostr" and "tokenomics" with "zaps"?

Vibe coded a Nostr bookmarking app. It's very basic, but I learned a lot in the process. Check it out at

Pinstr - Bookmarks on Nostr

A decentralized bookmark manager built on Nostr protocol (NIP-B0). Save, organize, and share your favorite web pages securely.

Pete and I also recorded a podcast episode about the experience

KP016: Bookmarking on Nostr - Key Pair

Two developers exploring Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr to build user-empowering apps

@Gzuuus made we aware of NIP-B0. With Tidewave.ai and Claude it was trivial to rewrite my bookmarking implementation to the new format. Anyone else out there working on bookmarking with NIP-B0?

So far really enjoying Tidewave.ai development for a Rails app. I like that with the Claude monthly subscription it is limited to a fixed cost. It integrates well with my normal dev flow too. Si far the only real downside is that the conversation needs to restart regulalrly, because of context windows I guess.

Presenting exhibit 1000 that Europe needs Nostr:

Europe Really Is Jailing People for Online Speech

From Germany to Britain, citizens are now routinely targeted for what they say.
