And the #quote is doubly underrated, because it has all the value of the #repost (that sometimes can be quite lazy, let's be honest) plus your genuine thoughts. I wold love a UI where I can just add some text and confirm a zap amount: the client generates the quote+zap events in one shot. This could be the real #boost. View quoted note →

I'm a little sorry to said that, but Gboard's prediction and sliding typing have no competitors, their quality is outstanding. We need to offer more support to open source keyboards.

All social clients offer a "conversation" or "replies" view, and lately I found it more interesting than the main feed. I think that adding an additional "first level replies" option would increase further the signal.

Do you know that you can personalize #Nstart to add your own suggestions to the final "Follow" step? It's a cool feature to onboard friends & family and to give them a polished feed from the start. But setting it up requires some tweaks, so I just released a wizard to easily create your own personalized URL:

Create your Nostr account

Create your Nostr account, back it up, and get a Nostr Connect bunker URL in few easy steps!

Happy onboarding!

Centralization is always dangerous. https://lobste.rs/s/jin16z/ruby_central_s_attack_on_rubygems Is anyone working on a package manager framework based on Nostr? It seems that Zig is doing something interesting in this regard. @Zapstore maybe you could take a look.

@Vitor Pamplona why is there no longer information about relays for each individual note? It's interesting and useful for debugging; I would move it to the drop-down menu.

We are so brainwashed by the cloud-sync-everything mantra that we have lost our appreciation for ephemeral things and the ability to give them our full attention in the present moment. We have also lost the responsability to cherry pick and preserve what, and only what, really matters to us. And so we live surrounded by tons of digital junk around, that our mind is not structurally able to manage. Some software is even trying to push, through horrible dark patterns, online-only saving; many people no longer understand the concept of having local storage, they don't really know where their data is saved. They just have blind faith in the big corporation of the moment. Then, one day they will loose everything due to a tech glitch or a irrevocable termination of our account. From too much to the void. So this kind of experiments is really refreshing, it's a wake up call. View quoted note →

Anyway, I still hate Paypal.

Send and receive money as easily as sending a text, across apps, borders, and currencies.

PS: Yes, they also casually won the first price for the stupidest permalink of 2025.

Interesting work in the "other stuff" space. View quoted note →
