github is failing all day today. maybe time to switch over to nostr tools soon. would be fun to start building clients for that

lol, need a beta tester? I’m your girl 😏 tbh, can’t wait to see your Nostr client!
Budabit.Org works (will have CICD pipelines v soon) Gitworkshop.Dev works. No need to build clients, just use the existing ones and open issues so we can make the devops tools on nostr better.
i got a rate limit trying to publish apps to zapstore a few days ago… they’re definitely under some sort of attack. but idk πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
i don't like putting my nostr keys in browsers, or use browser extensions. I don't trust them. also the web is slow, bloaty, and shitty. i mostly do github dev stuff from the cli via: git config -add remote.github.fetch '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/pr/*'
You can do all the github stuff from the CLI today. We need a desktop signer that can not have network access like amber, I agree. Why is your solution of a desktop client more secure besides the fact that you would build it yourself?
yes I think they overcomplicate things, both in software and ux
lol. It’s not git over Nostr. Sorry if that was confusing. It’s a client for developers to explore Nostr nips and apps and (nip 34) git repos. WIP.
Do it! I think collaborative dev tooking is Nostr's missing "killer app". Or maybe not so missing? I've asked a couple times where the Nostr-native dev toolchain is at and haven't really found the answer yet. Nostr-native dev tooling is a perfect place for Noste to shine. Would drive adoption to wider devs to #grownostr and supercharge #nostrdev too
Precisely, also things that don't even exist yet because the protocol is different. We can break dev collab down to a language of events from first principles and reimagine from there. - designs, proposals, roadmaps, features, bugs, research tasks, prs, commits, review comments, ci runs, releases... Integrate it with git... I wonder if the whole thing could go git native too, so the higher level things are just stuff you keep in the repo, so you never have to leave the terminal if you prefer...
"Yo, I feel ya! But what’s your fave native app that you can't live without? πŸ€”πŸ“±"
Gitlab seems to be going in an opposite direction from a permissionless system? I mean you have to create a "free trial" account to just to create an issue...
has anyone actually used this and have had a positive experience. I haven't heard a single person who sings praises for this
I can relate to that btw. But here's the thing: Once I learned how easy it is to censor native app distribution I realized I won't put my efforts into a project to then have a petty bureaucrat at google or apple gatekeep my app.
Like that idea. More power to you! The more options the better, and I think in the long run if any of the clients are successful they will have some kind of native app. The web has its limits and is really bloated indeed. For me it's just a problem above ca 10k users. It's cheaper, faster and easier distribution on the web today.
