#[3]
I think the way this bounty is stated is put is not the ideal. I think most people will read this and think we need a big website that is just like GitHub but using Nostr somehow. I think that is not what we should see (and hopefully that's not what #[1] wants either).
What I would want to see are multiple apps that can interoperate and are able to perform separate functions:
- browse code
- comment on code (referenced by a commit)
- create issues and comment on issues
- send patches
- comment on patches
And how these should be done? I am not sure, but here's what I have in mind:
- most of the comment things should probably be kind:1 events, I don't know, with some extra tags (so they could be interacted with from the normal "social" Nostr clients? or not?)
- code should probably be hosted by standalone dedicated git servers -- and there could be centralized providers offering these services but they should interoperate seamlessly between themselves and with standalone personal servers
- sending patches should probably be done using something like this approach by #[0]: http://git.jb55.com/git-nostr-tools/file/README.txt.html
#[2] has opened a discussion on this topic on the NIPs repository that could possibly be used to coordinate the efforts: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/223
I think we could have multiple different smallish webapps, native apps and specially command-line tools that implement one or multiple of the separate functions described above, and with that we can achieve a much better result both in terms of quality and of decentralization than if someone or some big team decides to tackle the entire cake and come up with some centralizing architecture on their own.
#[3], I know you may not pigeonhole the offer. But you might want to spec it out a bit, ppl get scared of very open ended projects.

-"will pay 120,000,000 sat (at least) bounty for best nostr-based GitHub replacement. “Best” as determined by this community."
+Create a "complete" Nostr-based suite of git tools, such that projects like bitcoin-core are sufficiently confident to move away from GitHub. Best thread on this is here:

-Still believe it’s critical we have a credible permissionless alternative to GutHub (ideally based on nostr). One that bitcoin-core and all nostr devs would trust.

I think I did that?
That was what you did indeed. We think?

Jack. I hope you could read this.
Dear Jack,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to share something deeply personal and ask for your help during an incredibly tough time in my life. I truly appreciate you taking the time to hear my story.
Over the past few years, I’ve found myself in a spiral of financial difficulties that started with trying to help others. My father struggles with alcoholism, and my mother has a brother with severe autism, which has placed a heavy emotional and financial burden on our family. In an effort to support them and cover growing expenses, I ended up taking on debts that snowballed out of control.
To try to pull myself out of this hole, I invested in stocks and later cryptocurrencies, hoping for a way out. Unfortunately, this only worsened my situation. I work at a bank and, in desperation, I asked my husband to take out a loan to help us manage the debts. However, because I processed these transactions from my phone, the bank mistakenly flagged it as potential fraud. Although we clarified that my husband was fully aware, I received a 15-day suspension from work as a penalty, which has left me in an even more precarious position.
Today, I’m overwhelmed by accumulated debts, and I’m struggling to survive financially. I’ll be honest—this has taken a heavy toll on my mental health, and I’ve been battling thoughts of giving up. But I’m determined to keep pushing forward and rebuild my life.
This brings me to why I’m writing to you. I’m reaching out to ask if you’d be willing to help me with a loan of [insert specific amount, e.g., $X or leave blank for now] to consolidate my debts and give me a chance to start fresh. I’m committed to repaying you monthly, and I’d be happy to work out a repayment plan that feels fair and manageable for both of us. My job at the bank provides a steady income, and I’m confident I can honor this commitment once my suspension ends and I stabilize my finances.
I know this is a big ask, and I’m incredibly grateful for your consideration. If you have any questions or need more details about my situation or the repayment plan, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d be happy to discuss everything openly.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and for any support you might be able to offer
I try to tell my hisyory since 2021
