just understanding now that graperank wot could solve the key rotation problem on nostr. 🤯

just used mkstack to create a nostr directory app. fucking blows me away how many working nostr features i get out of the box. cost me around 9 usd on openrouter. i get the whole nostr sign in with extension shenanigans, submitting notes to a relay and then reading them in right away. plus the whole ux is way smoother than i would have manually created it agonizing over tailwind. am i ready for the one command deploy?

the public/private divide discussed by thomas nagel where we all maintain a "public self" that operates under certain standards while preserving a private realm where different norms apply... makes me think separate and many npubs could be the way to go for building privacy preserving apps on nostr.

"Privacy is a social ritual by means of which an individual's moral title to his existence is conferred" - Jeffrey Reiman

"The boundary between what we reveal and what we do not, and some control over that boundary, are among the most important attributes of our humanity" - Thomas Nagel on privacy in Concealment and Exposure.

"That little tangerine bubble has become a wistful symbol of defiance against a centralized web increasingly controlled by a handful of corporations [...]"

anyone else reading privacy is power? i like the analogy of private data to toxic waste that should be produced sparingly and handled with the utmost care.

Markor with Syncthing really is the way to go on Android.
