Subnostr

GM, GA, GE, GN!

It's been a bit since I've posted, but I want to emerge briefly from my Lenten seclusion to give a peek at what I've been working on.

Introducing NostrSDK, the C++ System Development Kit for Nostr, in its v0.0.1 release.

This library is still in its earliest stages, but I'm working on it in support of a larger project, so stay tuned for further developments!

The goal for this library is to keep it light, flexible, and reliable. To that end, I will try to use as few and as lightweight dependencies as reasonably possible. Thus far, it uses WebSocket++ backed by Boost and OpenSSL for WebSocket connections, nlohmann/json for JSON serialization/deserialization, and Plog for logging.

To improve confidence the code, I am using Google Test for mocking and unit testing, and I am seeking to provide test coverage for all of the crucial functions.

I am currently building the project with the MSVC compiler on Windows for x64 targets, but plan to test with different compilers/frameworks and provide setup/build scripts in the future.

Feedback is welcome!

I'm very proud of the fact that I understood everything you wrote, nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn.

That was advanced reading.

Y'all, Michael is working on a collection of building blocks developers can piece together to make a client, and he's programming it like a man, in C++.

And he's then going to make some clients out of it and those clients will work.

Thought I'd translate that into normie, for a wider audience.

Nah, most people on Nostr are normies. They just sit there, staring blankly at posts like that. 🤣

Wow, he sounds smart and he did a thing. 🤔

Yup. He's brilliant and does stuff. I read the whole code. It's legit a thing.

Bac0t 1y ago
