Very promising Derek. How does Pathos know where you are sending notes from?

Could get really interesting. But can you please implement more AI services than just Maple? Any OpenAI compatible API should work, maybe even implement Shakespeare AI.

You select a feed for your (or any other) country. And then a kind 1111 event is created refering to the feed you selected.

@Nostr Compass @npub1hkuk...432p Can you include this in your next newsletter as well?

What happens if the domain is taken down and the server behind it?

If the domain gets shut down and the server goes poof, what’s the plan to bounce back? 🤔💭 #TechTalk #WebWoes

How is Bitchat detected in Pathos?

You need to use the Android app.

That's fine, it's an Android app and later on iOS app. The app doesn't need the website.

You can choose. It doesn't track you. You have to decide to post in a particular country community.

You mean the Android version of Bitchat? And is it supposed to detect Bluetooth or geohash chats?

Use the Android app or (iOS app in the future). No domain required for that.

No the Android version of Pathos. Bluetooth. It's Bitchat. We built a library for it.

.. Ah, ok, hidden away in the About page there's an apk link for Pathos. Please consider submitting it to Zapstore.

Found the apk link hidden away on the About page.

Did you make the Android App with Shakedroid?

Nice name!

For sure! Gotta use that Android app, fam! 📱💯

Technically.

I will 🤓 I didn't leave a room for 30 hours. We have some more work to do when we get home from the hackathon.

This is the beginning of something really big View quoted note →

This is looking so promising 👏

I wonder if, by using Shakedroid (https://shakedroid.shakespeare.wtf), can I also make apps that use Android-specific features? I mean, you managed to implement Bluetooth in #Pathos.

This is truly revolutionary! Pathos feels like the missing piece for digital freedom and activism. The integration of offline mesh networking and Bitcoin bounties shows how much thought has gone into empowering people where it matters most. Its inspiring to see such innovation for a cause. Great job to the team!

I'm seeing Bitchat activity on desktop but can't find a way to connect with those people directly. Any plans to integrate Bitchat with desktop in the near future?

Implementing Bitchat in this type of Android app, because it's one code base for web, Android, and iOS is extremely difficult. We had to create a brand new package library to be used for this. That library wasn't created in Shakespeare. We made it in OpenCode and then transferred it to Shakespeare. You can use Shakespeare to clone and edit Pathos However, there isn't a direct and easy path to use that to make an Android app with Bitchat support. Shakedroid is my proof of concept. It's not available in main line Shakespeare yet. I would not recommend attempting it at this time.

How do you decide who is an activist and who isnt? Can you add a translate button?

World Liberty Congress has their own verified members but anyone can use the app. It's open to all.

Bitchat Int is cool

How do you determine location? IP?

We don't. We don't want to track people. This is purely opt into location.

Cool. Was asking as with markets have a similar requirement so I can buy locally. Where is the location optionally saved? Users profile? Or on the event?

So its a US regime change app that supports people advocating for war crimes and reinstalling dictatorships. Too bad, wish you all the best with it though

Translate button would still be great, makes it a lot easier to keep tabs on these people when theyre all in one place 🫡

It works very well too!

Agreed. We'll see what we can come up with. Thank you 🫂🫂

But adding the bot content initially kind of makes it propaganda tool than factual.

I don't think so?

We worked with @Aarón Rodríguez and @Leopoldo López 👍 all weekend at the @npub17xvf...c9as event. And we had beers with them too!

What bot content? We don't have bots. Though the 8 of us that built this did use robots for 99.99% of the code.

Yeah, people seem to be missing a lot of context especially on world liberty congress Here’s a TLDR: Leopoldo was the mentor of Juan Guaido, the US-backed interim president of Venezuela that looted the country for Billions of $ WLC (& HRF) strongly support Maria Machado, the Venezuelan opposition candidate who advocates for the US bombing her own people & condones its war crimes executing civilians at sea (& recently gifted her nobel peace prize to trump, lol) WLC vice-president (&former HRF chairman) is Gary Kasparov, a raging Islamophobe who still says bombing Iraq back into the stoneage killing hundreds of thousands of civilians was the right thing to do WLC president is Masih Alinejad, a US financed “activist” who works for Voice of America, which was established as a propaganda outlet by the USG during WW2 with close ties to the CIA - she’s received close to 1M USD in USG funding for her work and is a big advocate for US intervention in Iran, especially to reinstall the pahlavi monarchy Reza Pahlavi works directly with WLC, who proclaims himself to be the next leader of Iran - he is the son of the US-installed Iranian Shah after the CIA toppled its democratically elected leader who became infamous for various human rights violations, incl. torturing, disappearing & murdering journalists, opposition and dissidents, oppressing freedom of the press & freedom of religion, forbidding all political opposition The problem I see (and I dont hold anyone responsible for working with them for) is that these organizations are the only ones financing “freedom tech” - no other org in this space finances journalism/activism/education, so they’ve become the singular source on any geopolitical definition of “freedom” that is dangerously skewed to support US interests Just find it very sad to see good people building good products who are psyopped into thinking that they are supporting human rights when in reality it is very much the opposite

That’s not what this is about. This project is open-source and focused on protecting people, not promoting governments, wars, or regime change. Tools don’t take sides, they give individuals the ability to communicate, organize, and stay safe. We work with human rights defenders from very different backgrounds and views. The common ground is simple: no one should be persecuted for speaking, organizing, or existing online. You don’t have to agree with everyone involved to support open tools and basic human rights.

The organizations that this project was developed with very clearly does. It has nothing to do with basic human rights - in fact they advocate to violate them on various levels. This is a fact, and I’m very sorry that this does not align with your world views.

As much as I love Nostr it is not good for communicating much that is actually sensitive.

I was a bit sceptical at first but then I looked into this WLC and it might just as well be called NED or USAID 😄 These people are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Yeah... I checked out their website, nothing to say about Gaza, nothing to say about CECOT... Those two things tell you a lot about who they're NOT trying to offend...

It's a geo country hashtag community.

Freedom Up 🚀

isnt placeholder profile content a bot content?

We don't have placeholder content. All of the content you see is from real people. We launched with over 100 people using our app as part of our early test. More probably now.

We don't talk about that here LOL

Come on. Seriously? Dude, russian profile talking about Indian farmers? there is no local farmers issue going on. That russian profile used same text as earlier user in Hindi font. plus both profiles are fake and made up as placeholder content. Don't lose your credibility by lying now.

You know that Nostr is open and that anyone can post content anywhere and anyhow they want? It seems to me that you're lying and losing credibility. If you didn't know that Nostr was open, please confirm and I'll forgive you.

Dude that is fake accounts and both posting placeholder content. Atleast don't lie. I am developer myself but I won't create fake journo accounts as product demo. Come on. If nostr is open I don't need your forgiveness. Keep that cult on stackoverflow and with trump gang.

The wallet creation/restore flow is nice - I’ll shamelessly steal that 🙃 … nostr connect / QR Login would be good to use the primal remote signin.

I see, it’s using Spark … interesting.

This guy is going to turnout to be "them", connecting activists... ? F.... along with "the new agreement for his Nostur app that seeming exactly like LinkedIn's or Twitter, now he proposes yet another honeypot... if you are an activist you still dont get it... just get on with living and grow community and trust with living things

we literally have no agreement for Pathos. nice try though. good morning.
