Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

I am looking for a web dev to keep pushing Nostr Spreadsheets. My demo was ok, but we need so much more and I won't be able to push this. I think a dedicated dev can make a platform to fully replace Collaborative Google Sheets for simple things (no scripting needed) and truly get us out of Google realm. Not even Proton offers spreadsheets. We desperately need a better offer.

If you want my humble opinion. don't start with spreadsheets. Start with Documents and Presentations first.

This makes it seem like someone else can view my sheet.

But we have devs working on docs. Nobody is working on sheets.

Yep, but it is just the pubkey of the spreadsheet itself. Each sheet has a nostr key.

What about presentations?

Why do some many Nostr devs pretend that Google is the only thing thing that exists? Use

CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite

or host your own.

We don't pretend. We just don't have real options. CryptPad is shit. It's completely unusable.

This is so cool. I’d love to see all office suite products replaced with Nostr alternatives

I don't get it. I tried CryptPad. It doesn't work.

How do you store the data in the nostr? How to deal with conflicting concurrent edits?

Vitor Pamplona _@vitorpamplona.com 3 months ago

We store as a replaceable event saved every time you leave each cell, which updates everybody on the fly. There could be issues, but it mostly works.

Concurrent edits are quite rare in practice and spreadsheets tend to be small. Replaceable addressable events might work well here. I tried app data replication with incremental change events chained eith hash pointers

We use this and it's fine. It's LibreOffice with their own real-time collaboration tooling on top, open source. They contribute a lot back to LibreOffice.

Star Office > Open Office > Libre Office was a network office suite. In 2000 I installed it with clients accessing the system, including a calendar that could synchronize with Palm devices, and somehow that had disappeared... I think Libre Office is a good place to find the code, but also gnumeric might be a good place, as well.
