I made my first music album, Invisible Cages! I might extend it with a tune or two more, please enjoy! View article →

Here is a suggestion for a Nostr clean-up-bot: Scan all entries on indexer relays, then find the profile of the public key and re-publish that profile to the relays the user has chosen. There are so many Nostr accounts that doesn't have their own profile events stored on their relays. I'm very surprised how many users this applies to, it even applied to the Primal Studio account, which did not have their own profile on their relays (I fixed it by re-publish from another relay). If nobody makes it, I might do it.

You can't build apps using web technology? This message I have seen so many times in my life. I quit my job to work on my own social media app, Nostria. Finally I can show that it is possible, all by myself. It's hard work, but very rewarding. These days governments are cracking down on social media with age verification processes. Nostria will never require your identification, it can't. It's built on web technology, which transcends borders, cultures and governments. The web was meant to be free. Nostria builds on Nostr, an open, decentralized protocol for censorship-resistant communication. You heard that right. And it is free, as in open-source free and free to use. I'm not fond of rules. I don't respect the status quo ("You can't do that). You can quote me, disagree with me, glorify of vilify me. Yes, you can also ignore me. I want to push us forward and this is me, hoping that we can soon lay to rest the idea that web technology is not good enough. It is. It requires more work, but you can make it. Stop feeding the locked in corporate app stores with these locked in native runtimes, built by the very same corporations. Did you know that Nostria has been waiting soon 5 months to be listed on the Play Store? Luckily you can use it without, but of course to get out to most users, it's unfortunately the reality. It's not perfect, there is lots more to do, but it's just me building Nostria. I have a few friends who helped support me get to this stage, I appreciate your support with all my heart. If you want to help Nostria with the planned global launch, please contact me. GM/PV! #nostria “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

Does anyone hosts "playground" instances of their Nostr clients and services? It would be great to have a dedicated instance where one could make multiple throw away accounts, try out various features, like posting, posting with photos, videos, creating badges, polls and all kinds of events that will eventually just be deleted after a week or month. I will probably do this for @Nostria, to avoid polluting the public space. User's could go crazy and learn with confidence, before committing content for "eternity" on the public nostr network. It would be great if the relays and media servers for this could be a collaboration, would improve compatibility testing across implementations. @fiatjaf @Vitor Pamplona @hodlbod @jb55

James McAvoy appears to only get PSYCHO roles? He's brilliant at them. I love how Nostria automatically removes tracking parameters whenever I paste URLs 🤙
