What if a client showed notes of the people you interact most with (your inner circle, your tribe) to your followers? View quoted note →

In the next #NoorNote Release: Hashtag Subscriptions Let's say you're interested in a topic and want to catch all the notes about it. You just click on the hashtag and subscribe to it. You can see your subscriptions in the settings, and you can also optionally flip a switch that watches for the term even without the hashtag symbol. That runs 10 seconds after the app starts and then every 5 minutes in the background. You can add and subscribe to other terms there too. When new notes show up with your subscribed terms or hashtags, you get a notification you can tap on to check out the new notes. If you like some of them, open them up and bookmark them. Those notifications are temporary, though; they're gone the next time you start the app. This was already in the earlier releases, but it was full of bugs and not optimized. In the next release, it'll be smooth. Basically like 'Google Alerts' but for Nostr. We're taking over legacy media, step by step.

Nice effort, but Windows is a lost case. I know, a lot of people are using it, but that's THEIR problem. Good alternatives exist for a while now, why don't they switch? Can't save those who don't care about being saved. View quoted note →

Every time my so called Islamic banking app does an update, I expect some new fiat crap. Not a nice new feature for me or better user experience or anything like that. In the last update, they snuck in a 'five transfers per day' limit on us. Apparently there were abuse cases. Yeah, it makes total sense that they make all customers bear the consequences for that.

People who say vibe coded software is slop or vibe coding is the end of craftsmanship are just generalizing and getting the different levels of software development wrong. That might hold true for some smaller tools. But make your software bigger and more elaborate, and you'll quickly notice the difference. You're basically just changing your role from coder or junior dev to software architect. By the way, that's a role that already existed back in the day. Because suddenly it's not about whether you master a programming language or can implement everything, but about how you find the right architecture and get a handle on the agent's limitations. I've held various roles in development in my professional life, from junior and senior developer to software architect who had to solve the problem of uniform frontends across over 20 vertically distributed backend teams with a total of 350 developers, and design patterns developer who was supposed to build a bridge between the design, marketing, and development departments. As an architect, you can code, but you don't necessarily do it. You deal with concepts like maintainability, distributability, scalability, and eliminating or intentionally creating redundancies. It's about the right componentization, like the DRY principle ("don't repeat yourself"), or communication between components with microservice APIs or deciding when an event bus and when a state management system (or both) makes sense. Exactly for this role, agents like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex are the right choice to create larger, complex systems. You basically don't need a development team anymore; instead, you direct the agents in the right direction. And what's possible with that nowadays is amazing over and over again, and it's developing so rapidly that even the inventors of the coding agents can barely keep up.

Symbolic. The end of legacy social media. Long live Nostr. View quoted note →

That's why schools in Germany are closed tomorrow too. View quoted note →

I'll be conducting a Nostr workshop for beginners there, among other things, with #NoorNote insh’Allah. I'm really looking forward to meeting a lot of you in meat space too. View quoted note →

So, coming back from outside with the kids. We just had a snowball fight. No mercy. Including rubbing snow all over each others faces. A man has to prepare his kids for this harsh world after all.

Nostr WoT = Freedom Tech Social Score Google had that at the beginning too and then gradually gave it up. Maybe it's worth looking into why. Saying "everyone can just accept or reject it" is a bit short sighted, when the most common clients support it and shape their users with these numbers. It'll give the same people even more momentum in the short and medium term. But long term, they'll shoot themselves in the foot. And "the people want it"... who says that what people want is always automatically good? And who are these „people“ anyway? How many are they in percent? Real freedom tech doesn't need any ranking algorithms at all. It doesn't need algorithms at all. View quoted note →

Need to try this, allthough nobody is visiting my website 😁 View quoted note →

Damn, I zapped a bot

So, everybody’s talking about Venezuela now? As if they were part of the elites, as if they were part of the club? 😒
