Subnostr

Wouldn't golang be a good language for a Nostr browser? 🤔

GUI part is a horrible pain... the best option as used by many, such as keybase, is a chrome engine electron front end

i'd like to do something about that and i wrote a whole bunch of widgets for a GUI back in 2019 but then tehy kept on changing the API and i can't adapt what i wrote to the new API easily, have tried several thimes and days long at it and then gave up lol

something on my bucket list but definitely have to stack some sats to get the time for that, unless i get lucky and someone wants it to thappen who already stacked

mehhhhh

it's one of those things where the U in the UX is the actual programmers... you might say even that it is one of my specialisations - i'm quite obsessed with making the programmer's job easier, both to avoid bugs and to eliminate especially noisy, redundant, implicit shit from everything

i mentioned just recently about how verbs are much more important than nouns, and unfortunately most programmers don't understand this and they love their little hierarchies and nonsense but it's an inflexible, wordy and inefficient way to express processes

i just wouldn't know how to approach selling the idea - because most devs are just gonna think "ah this crazy golang maxi wants to build GUIs in his preferred language" and that is kinda not bitcoin or nostr, you see what i mean?

ridiculous because actually the point is making onboarding to do such work easier

having to learn 3 different programming languages and 5 different markup languages just to write one app is onerous IMO
