📢 New #DVM released:

"You might have missed" 🚀

This Data Vending Machine implements a very simple but very useful algorithm that was one of my favorite features of Twitter.

It finds content that your network has deemed interesting but that you probably have missed.

Remember; the fact that this algorithm is a DVM means that ANY nostr client can now OFFER you to use this algorithm (or any other!)

More choice. Better for nostr.

What languages should one start with when wanting to code for lightning, bitcoin and nostr?

I understand bitcoin is mainly C++ with some Python. Would you suggest Java as JSON is common?

Use a language with a SDK if you want to go fast. For nostr, NDK (nostr-dev-kit) is in javascript/typescript, and rust-nostr is in Rust, with bindings in python, kotlin and swift. Using them will make you earn a lot of time avoiding to reimplement what every nostr dev already did.

and especially avoiding the hard things that you don't even know are hiding behind the cool weirdness of how nostr works

I would like to be more involved with the dev community. Plenty of tech, hacker experience, but never had to code. I played with Python, which I like, but want to be directly involved with nostr development.

Would a base of JavaScript be required for this? I know it conceptually, but have never had to code anything in JavaScript.

Or is it better to jump right into ndk?
