Anyone got screenshots of the earliest nostr clients? I have some but want to see what you guys have. CLI stuff is fair game too

I wonder if mIRC could be an ancestor πŸ€”

Yeah, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm specifically looking for old screenshots of clients of THE NOSTR

How about this? An Astral screenshot...

[812920]

That's good! πŸ˜‚ May I use this for a blog post?

Of course! πŸ€™πŸ»

Any from Anigma? My first Nostr experience was an open group chat you made there ~1yr ago. It was wild.

Anigma is a flashback! Still wonder how screwed my nsec is from those early days

Got mine rekt because of it πŸ˜…

I never rotated my key and maybe I will regret that at some point. Hoping someone comes up with a good solution, because most of ny nostr network effect comes from the fact that I was here early! Would be hard to rebuild.

I remember! πŸ˜‚

Yo! I member

Even better, every version of snort is available stil: https://21f49293.snort-social.pages.dev/

oh, that's fantastic

Build date: January 3, 2023

Very minimalist.

stuff like this:

Or this

Interesting πŸ‘€

It's not far back as I was late, but I remember using Nostrgram, which is sort of a madness of a client lol. No idea what CLI is tho. Curious thread

I have a screenshot from the branle client dated 01-nov-2022 but it's the one showing the private key to this account 🀣.

At the time I was just testing it out.

Black it out and post it! 😁

braaaanleeee

Oh, that's awesome. I have a video of this client somewhere. May I use this screenshot in a blog post?

sure. I have a lot of early days weird screens of alphaama, mostly screen recordings

Love it! πŸ”₯πŸ’œ

here's a weird one :)

and a #howto guide i made back then

This is the text CLI client I was originally working on

oh that's beautiful hahah

Did you stop?

I need to catch up on the latest NIPs and see what was still on my original todo list. My attention went elsewhere and I ended up developing https://pypi.org/project/selfhash/ and a few other things.

At this point, I’d probably tear the entire text client all down and build it again from the ground up having incorporated what I learned on the first pass. I’d keep the UI but my spaghetti code needs a ton of clean up and functionalization. There are also some sweet libraries now I could lean on, but I appreciate native code/functions as well. :thinking:

Commodore 64 bbs/nostr client?

Why the CRT?

Why not? CRTs are magical pieces of hardware.

Doesn’t get any earlier than this. 🀣

I know it’s not what you asked for though. 😘

"Change many things, then it finally works somewhat" on Friday the 13th. Spooky πŸ˜‚

I've got better than that, https://v1-coracle-social.onrender.com

This is from early December 2022 before I broke everything

Good times πŸ™‚

Last time I checked astral.ninja it looked the same as May 2022. πŸ˜†

I have source code for two Nostr clients I made before Branle. Should I run them and take screenshots?

YES #YESTR
