Yes, I working on it. Check out my long form nostr posts. I'll post a prototype CLI in Rust soon. Happy to discuss on a call if you like?
Discussion
I prefer text, but we can discuss yes... That being said:
My main concern here is whether there is any point for me working
on my project publicly instead of privately.
Because if nostr devs are going in another direction anyway,
there is no point making the extra effort to put my work online...
I already put the clone script on nostr so it basically works.
There is a repo in my metadata right now, people can clone it.
Ultil relays start limiting how much stuff one can put in the
metadata fields I'm good.
I see no point working on anything related unless the nostr maintainers
specifically ask me to, because I always work alone.
I'm not a professional dev. So normally I have no need
for pull requests or issues, or whatever else people are familiar with.
Is your intention to build something that other people would use or for personal use?
At the moment I think the direction nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and seem to approve of is using the patch model. Everything else appears not to be fleshed out.
I think the patch model doesn't scale but is a good starting point because of it's simplicity.
I am not used to working in public either. There hasn't been any engagement with my long form posts on the issue. No one has commented on my draft NIP. My plan is to build a prototype and put it out there.
Eventually I want to publish some open source software. Not necessarily on nostr
but I really liked the protocol and I was like what the hell, let's see if it works.
That being said, I understand that there is one major problem with my approach
which would prevent frequently updated, big repos from being posted this way: bandwidth.
One would need to reupload the entire repo for the tiniest of changes.
Works for small / infrequently updated projects ( that's mostly what I work with ).
Fails spectacularly for big ones.
I'll take a look at your approach early next week if you'd like some feedback. I'll be a bit busy during the weekend.
Have fun coding.
I'm glad someone else is working on the problem. I'd love to take a look at your work. There is a catch 22.
As I understand it, you have put the tool to clone repositories from kind 0 events, in your kind 0 event. I can't clone the repo without the tool, which is only available in the repo.
