Nostr Web Client

What you can do, and this might be not be the most elegant way, but it should be fast enough to work:

Reconcile the events you are looking for with the the tags that do work (like single letter tags) to a local database and do a full text search on the stringified events in that local database. Happy to help if you have any code to look at.

I think I'm definitely doing something wrong on my end as I'm not getting repeatable results

Here's the code I'm working off of if you want to take a look:

I made a PR, let me know if that fixes what you were looking for. I also added a second variant using a local database. In the end you only need to run one variant.

Nice! I’ll definitely try it out and let you know how it goes

I was playing with it more last night and discovered some things

I think the next problem I have is trying to find the right relays to add

Nostr.Build uses Blastr so the NIP94 events are published to whatever relay is online and working, which makes it challenging to know where to look

For example, if you just add the Damus relay you get 94 events, I added like 4 more and got up to almost 900, but I know we’ve uploaded more GIFs than that

Just need to find where they are hiding

I don't get how to search nip94 events if I don't know what relay ask events from

Current process:

- Gifbuddy uploads to Nostr.Build

- Nostr.Build publishes a NIP94 event to Blastr

- Blastr goes to whatever relays are online and working (I don't 100% understand this area)

I expect Blastr would include publishing to popular relays like damus, primal, nos.lol, nostr.band, etc. Yet when I add these relays and search for such events (Kind 1063) I get less than 900 results for gifs, which can't be right.

Nostr.Build definitely has more than 900 gifs uploaded assuming that every file uploaded to Nostr.Build has a corresponding nip94 event published.

I can keep adding relays, but I don't think that's the right answer

Hopefully I'm making sense, but this is where I'm at right now:

Nah, I figured it out with Fishcake in DMs: I messed up

When I upload a gif to nostr.build, I get nip94 event data in the response, which I’m suppose to publish, but I interpreted that at the time as it’s already been published

So gifs have been uploading to nostr.build, but haven’t been publishing nip94 events, which super sucks

Working on fixing it this weekend

You wouldn't happen to know how to use Blastr in python with nostr-sdk, would you?

I pretty much finished the nip94 update to gifbuddy, but I want to broadcast it as wide as possible (right now it just does damus and primal relays)
