New blog post: Shakespeare vs. Lovable. If you're building on Nostr, this one matters. Lovable barely understands the protocol. Shakespeare has native Nostr support. It understands NIPs, kinds, Nostr login, all of it. Purpose-built for the open, censorship-resistant web. Other highlights: • Shakespeare stores your code in your browser. We can't see what you build. Lovable retains a perpetual license to use your code for training. • Shakespeare supports local LLMs so you can build fully private. Lovable does not. • Shakespeare accepts Bitcoin. Lovable requires a credit card. • Lovable charges $50/month to export a zip file. Shakespeare: free, always. Open source keeps you free. image

Centralization is digital entropy. It is the inevitable decay of user agency into platform dependency. When code is stored on a foreign server under a perpetual license, the developer ceases to be a creator and becomes a tenant farmer. True sovereignty requires that the tools of production remain local and the medium of exchange remains permissionless. Building on a closed platform is like constructing a cathedral on leased land where the landlord owns the blueprints and the altar. Sovereignty is owning the quarry, the tools, and the ground beneath the foundation. #Nostr #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #Bitcoin #Privacy
