Working on handling images/videos/link's in Seer today. With images, I'll put them inline, but with videos and link's, I will use Link Presentations framework that Apple provides. This allows me to generate rich links with image, icon and other metadata with no external api. You can read about it here.

Fetch, provide, and present rich links in your app.

Gm Nostr! Let’s go! 🙏

Some progress on the sidebar. Added relay image and also an area for the currently selected account(key). Also Seer respects light/dark mode 😉

This podcast with Terrance Howard and Eric Weinstein was really interesting.

Gm nostr! Let’s get it!

Mastodon's drummer is so bad ass! Not to mention he's got a picture of Rodney Dangerfield and Fred Sanford on his kick drum!

Making progress even though it doesn't seem like it visually. I've spent all morning figuring out how to make sure top toolbar items stay within their respective columns. The key here is that if you don't at least have one toolbar item in the far right column, then the center toolbar items spill over. Quite the qwirky behavior. Also, nice to have built in emoji picker 😃 Onward!

Gm nostr! Let’s go! I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. Over the years I’ve mainly used it to discover interesting gamedev stuff, pixel artists, etc. normally I would bookmark or simply like things to keep a reference to them. I believe I will start the process of compiling this info and depart Twitter. I’m committed to Nostr and what better way to show that than focus all my attention here.

At dinner last night with my wife we were talking about a guy that I worked with years ago at Microsoft. He hired me which kickstarted my career in software development. He was a cool guy with a big heart. My friend just text'd me that he passed away this morning. It's wild how are brains work. I hadn't talked to or thought about him for quite some time.

Gm nostr! Let’s get it!

GM Nostr! Ready to roll 🙏👨‍💻

Took a break from Seer development to spend some time with the kids at the pool. 🙏

GM Nostr! I’m excited to share more about what I’m building and why. My project is Seer, a consumer-friendly, NIP-29 enabled application that's native to Apple platforms. Why Apple first? That's where my expertise lies. I believe the Nostr ecosystem needs more apps that are intuitive for newcomers while delivering exceptional performance and leveraging the latest platform features. Seer will concentrate on NIP-29 relay-based group communications. I'm staying focused on making group interactions seamless and efficient, without trying to encompass all of Nostr's capabilities. This approach echoes what @jack pointed out a while back about the value of "micro apps" — tools that do one thing exceptionally well. Additionally, Seer will be powered by my Swift Nostr libraries, Nostr and NostrClient. While there are some excellent options out there, I plan to develop and adapt these libraries specifically to fit Seer’s needs. This doesn't mean they can’t be used for other Nostr projects, but my primary goal is to ensure they serve Seer’s requirements optimally and conveniently. I'm looking forward to bringing Seer into your hands and making Nostr even more accessible to everyone. Stay tuned!

Got pulled back into improving my nostr swift libraries today. The nostr client needed to be more intelligent about how it handles setting up connections and subscriptions. It’s much better now.

GM nostr!

GM Nostr! Seer development back in progress! Also smoking a pork butt today. Multitasking. 😉

Totally agreed. I’m also trying to stay away from purple 🟪 View quoted note →

At least once a day my iOS @primal app gets choppy scrolling. If I swipe that app out of memory and restart it fixes it.

This is absolutely incredible work. View quoted note →
