gm, good people. ☕ Have a great weekend.

I recently stumbled across this site by @Gigi; don't know how I hadn't seen it before. It's been living rent-free in my head all week. I've appreciated #v4v for a long while, but it hadn't taken root as deeply until reading through this site. Now I see it everywhere. Thanks, @Gigi. 🙏

Has anyone successfully migrated @Alby from the @Umbrel ☂️ Community Store to the official app store release? The former appears to be abandoned, and I'm not excited about ripping it out and starting over (connections, etc.). #asknostr

Lightning Address tip: Edge functions beat redirects. If you're using HTTP redirects for your vanity Lightning Address (sats@yourdomain.com → you@getalby.com), you're adding ~85ms latency.
