yes, we need a nostr optech
nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk maybe something for you guys?
Anyone volunteered yet? I can take a stab at it. Publish a long form note via habla.news or something similar?
What would y’all like in the weekly update? Stuff like new NIPs adopted and new projects sounds cool to me.
Or do y’all mean like trending posts from across all Nostr?
tech focused, not anything trending.
do it. Permissionlessly. If you have the inkling just write it.
This is the way. JUST DO IT
Exactly.
One of the simplest shortcuts to have a better life is to never wait for permission or the “right circumstances” to do the things you want to do.
If you wait for that you’ll be waiting your entire life.
(inb4 the akkkshually army: there’s obviously nuance to this)
Definitely the plan. Just researching what people have interest in. 💪 I’ll try to do it every weekend (still have a 9-5 😂)
Took a first pass at it this week! Feedback welcome!
Awesome, Greg! Personally I have trouble keeping up with: newly merged or hot topic NIPs, major features or apps being released (not every release of everything, but big things like the recent curated community spec). Maybe if there’s not much going on in a week spotlighting an existing tool that people love might be nice. Sometimes things get released and then I never hear about them again, it’s hard to know what people are finding useful over longer periods of time.
(Additionally I would love to see an adjacent non-technical non-bitcoin weekly summary of some of the most interesting posts. It’s great for people who don’t open Nostr every day or every week. I used to keep up with happenings on Secure Scuttlebutt through an account like this, called The Weekly)
Here’s a transcript of an edition of The Weekly, to give an idea (it’s raw markdown tho):

It's still very early stages and there's lots of geeky stuff in the post for those who are curious.
