I'm with him on this! Increasingly thinking like that. Good architecture takes time, imagination, competence. Many insights while in the shower or before falling sleep. Why would anyone open-source all this hard work if no grants or donations are on the horizon? Example: inflluencers (better marketing) will just copy it and renew their grants ahn? The logic to open-sourcing everything was always beyond, me. Now with AI, it's even more difficult to grasp. View quoted note →

I'm not angry, I'm disappointed. It is just that It took me months of hard work, lost sleep thinking about coding solutions. Then a rejection without any feedback looks like one of these things happened: 1) Some of the project reviewers didn't even review it 2) or The reject reason is personal as in someone there doesn't like me 3) or They just give "big" grants for those that are part of their closed-group Which is frustrating. Given how Opensats (Nostr part atleast) handle evaluations currently, I wouldn't recommend trying for a grant. I won't tag anyone from OpenSats to not sound as harassement, but maybe someone they follow would like to repost this. Such discussions may help make future Nostr project evaluations fairer.

I know some of you smiled when you read this. I like drama as well. View quoted note →

"We regret to inform you that your project was not selected for funding. [...no feedback whatsoever...] Feel free to apply again in the future" Thank you for letting me know 🥰 Oh I sure will </sarcasm>

Improving it everyday. Try the new app store here:

One login, many apps

Primal's relay isn't my Nostr dev sidekick anymore. My napp store page custom events started getting erased. Other public relays weren't even accepting them. Add to this all the WoT conversation going on. Out of sheer necessity for a home for experimental event kinds, one that must not have its DB filled by spam or misuse, I'm building a public relay that won't rely on WoT to filter out spam. If I'm successful, the relay could be the basis of a future fully private Nostr client.

Could it be possible to improve user retention by making Nostr web apps work **without** a browser extension? Help me test this vision by uploading your static (nostr) websites at https://44billion.net. Sign in/up then click on the (n)app icon with a big "N" (a Napp store) where you can upload them. Hint: Before uploading, you could add some code to your napps to support auto-login. You just need to get the logged-in user's pubkey on load by calling `const userPk = await window.nostr.peekPublicKey()`, which returns the pubkey without prompting the user.
