@Zach is the developer. We met him at Nostrville. He's super talented. Spread the word. No more Meetup or FB Events. Flockstr only! 🔥🔥🔥
Its super limited, has lots of quirks. Im trying to use it but cant make calendars there and cant edit or set all the fields its plugging in, so im resorting to manual event creation now.
Still, its a good start from a quick hackathon project
Thats what I wanted to know. Great too hear it. Gonna spread the hell out of this as most of us have wanted this for a while
More and more keep flocking to @npub1fl0c...mwl4 🪽

Hey, I'd love to help if you're facing any issues with calendar creation. Feel free to reach out in DMs
Hey @Zach following you now. Great job. We’ve been looking for this for a while. 💜
@Zach
just gonna put here so others can see whats needed as DMs get buried and there is nowhere to post these as git issues
I need a way to add events and either not be the host, or specify someone else as the host
I need to set more precision on the geocache
I need to know what spec is for the tags used when referencing images for events and calendar as its not in NIP52 and ideally you and coracle and other clients trying to support would establish and document that standard
Good points. But there is a git issue list at 
. I opened an issue yesterday.

On the image issue, something else important here is what the expected dimensions or ratio is for display in flockstr without truncating or scaling
Thanks for posting what the repo is, since the site doesnt reveal.
The license on Flockstr is not FOSS, and hence I cant contribute to it.
We need a FOSS replacement to Meetup and FB events
That is NOT free and open source software

Creative Commons is not meant for software anyways. 🙄
Good point too. At least the nostr protocol is open, so are the events posted on Flockstr. So as posters we still own the data which can be re-used at other calendar clients, that makes it different compared to Meetup.com or so. Anyhow I also prefer to see a FOSS license for the client as well.
Which is odd because a lot of people use it as a license even though the CC website specifically says to not do that.
Oops, I just copied and pasted from a different nostr repo. Can you recommend some resources to looking at licenses?
Hopefully he will consider a license change. Considering the choice of no derivatives on CC it seems his goal is “source available” not “open source.”
Far be it from me to throw shade, but I think the advice to not use CC is solid.
No worries my man. MIT is probably what you'd want here? @Vitor Pamplona uses that for Amethyst. I am not a license expert at all though.

Wen expert?
Licenses are hard and confusing. It's probably best to ask why a license was chosen.
You can look at a lot of them here:
MIT is a “do whatever you want with my work” license.
Others have various levels of restrictions, such as limiting someone from being able to keep their changes private (like GPL)
Open Source Initiative
Licenses Archive - Open Source Initiative
I'll let you tackle that task.
As user I prefer MIT too. But @Zach have a look at what fits your preference as developer.

It seems the license will be changed View quoted note →
But if it’s not MIT I will mock you.

He did. It's MIT now
Like a ₿oss
As of earlier today 😂
