This is a #nos-dev-diary from a mostly-backend-developer. Not much progress as I got sick after #nostrica but I landed a couple of improvements to https://tweeter.nos.social/. It is cool to see people use it! - tweets now contain https://njump.com/ links to the associated events - it will now avoid cutting links in half when shortening notes - it correctly detects nostr nevent/npub/note links and translates them to https://njump.com/ links - fixed a bunch of backend bugs so it should be more reliable If you have bug reports, feedback or any other suggestions post them here or create an issue. The service is open source of course. I try to translate all feedback to issues so that it doesn’t get lost.

planetary-social/nos-crossposting-service

A service which takes your nostr notes and posts them to Twitter. - planetary-social/nos-crossposting-service

Plans for the near future: - investigate why purple pages sometimes doesn’t return events in response to queries, this makes the service struggle after restarts (this is how the service grabs your relays) - resume work on a crawler-like service that will feed events into our other services e.g. the service that generates push notifications, the service that tries to analyse content reports using AI etc, we could also spin up an alternative to purple pages on top of that service

YES I found a zoo

Ok I found all the anime girls in the world

I am currently at a electronics store in akihabara which is prob bigger than 5 biggest stores I’ve been to combined

I recommend going to Hands in #tokyo if you want to buy something weird @rabble recommended it and it is great fun #nostrasia

Guys my hair is blue not green guys come on guys

This is a #nos-dev-diary from a mostly-backend-developer. We posted about our Twitter crossposting service a short while ago but there were some problems with the Twitter API and messages got stuck in the queue resulting in tweets not being posted. What I speculate has happened is that some people exceeded their personal API limits and their tweets got stuck in the queue blocking other tweets from being posted. I can't confirm this since Twitter reports that we have not exceeded the API limit despite responding with “Too many requests”. I released an update which resulted in some tweets being sent by implementing proper backoffs and handling messages out of order. Given that fact that I suspect people wouldn't be happy with a sudden wave of tweets being posted I haven't copied the messages that were stuck to the new queue for now so only new notes will generate tweets. The service is available here: https://tweeter.nos.social If someone has seen weird Twitter API behaviour similar to the one I described where all calls fail with “too many requests” but clearly no requests succeeded in the windows specified in the docs please let me know.

boreq's #japan experiences: matcha ice cream good, stuff on top of it weird #nostrasia

boreq's #japan experiences: don't try to queue at the store 50cm to the left of the queue markers they put on the floor instead right on top of them or you will be yelled at #nostrasia

Testing file uploads

This is a #nos-dev-diary from a mostly-backend-developer. I used to post those weekly updates on Secure Scuttlebutt and then I've never started doing it on nostr for some reason so here we go, time to fix this. This one is going to be short because it is easier to write them when you are up to date with posting them and still remember what you did. - over the last couple of weeks we worked on and deployed a push notification service which helps Nos figure out when to grab new events when the app isn't open, as always the repo is public here

- the -go suffix documents a failed attempt to do this in rust, but I want to revisit the language in the future as it seemed very interesting, it is just that this was my first rust project and it started taking too long - I am currently working on adding automatic media uploads to the app to make posting images etc easier without having to open websites to upload them which is especially awkward on phones

@Matt Lorentz testing an annoying bug fix

tfw you realize you set up the staging sequence wrong after pressing space #spacex

Slightly contrived but maybe useful if someone wants to think about NIP-05

I wrote a post inspired by the work that #[0]​ and #[1]​ did during the #nostropical hackathon after #nostrica. section “approach 3” documents their approach.
