I wish my wife and the other MAHA moms had a nostr client that was easy and intuitive enough for them to use, so they could stop censoring their posts in FB groups and other forums

What would that look like

I think it would need to be community centered. Not group chat like Telegram. More like an old school forum but with a UI more like Facebook groups. Maybe with some information that indicates the person is a real person (I haven’t thought this one through, but I’ve noticed these moms are suspicious of anons)

Have you looked at flotilla? This is just the use case I have in mind. If you have specific complaints or feedback I'd love to hear them. Also happy to help set up an instance

I have and it’s certainly the right idea. I just can’t figure out how to onboard these ladies. They’re not going to understand key management, so a native app is probably necessary for them at present

I have a native app on both app stores, and a custodial key management solution (although it only would work on a white labeled web instance). Key management is tough, but hopefully we can figure out how to persuade people to adopt it.

I have not tried the native app! Let me give it another shot. I would love it to be what these crunchy moms need

It's all pretty work in progress, there's a new release coming that should tidy things up a bit. Feedback is welcome though

A Nostr GPS for my car. Private and encrypted on my phone or relay. 📍🚗

Use Organic Maps. Offline navigation that doesn't totally suck for address lookup. Open source.

Thank you friend!

Sync nostr and X posts.

I think this exists

An AI that would teach me git/github.

Isn’t that just any AI tool?

Yeah, was not a good suggestion. I sat there thinking for 2 full minutes and was all I could come up with. Mostly just expressing frustration that I can never seem to grok or internalize using it well (not a dev, obv, but I like to tinker now and then).

A way to mine a block at least once a day guaranteed. 😂

A nostr-based calendar and contact exchange system, and then an event thing that isn't just a form.

Yes. Similarly I'd like a calendly replacement with zaps.

What... Would you zap on a calendar?

So I want to offer "office hours" for my meetup group that people can book on a calendar (like calendly) and they can zap me donations if they want.

Ooooh. OK.

Or you could book appointments with a zap as an appointment setup fee. (Prevents flakers.)

Yea, for sure, that's a good idea.

Still needing this feature? I might have something to help

a browser-agnostic bookmarks tamer. my theory re: why so many tabs are kept open is that the nominal alternative, saving a bookmark into a browser's handling instead, does not get the job done, in terms of that "find it again" search process.

there's a big cache of potentially-"interesting" data in that messy pile of bookmarks and selected history-trails. and I have yet to find a good tool for making the most of it. for starters, I'd value more than just string-matches on the little bit of text available per site. I'd like to navigate by timeline more easily, bunch related ones together in multiple tag-sets, etc. any one who fights with tabs and bookmarks will have great ideas for improvements to our current tools.
