๐ข Announcing Highlighter 2.0
Release name: "Sig"
Highlighter has gone through so many changes that it's essentially an entirely new nostr client.
The goal remains the same:
๐ A nostr client for your most valuable information. Your reading. Your notes. Your thoughts. A place to discover thoughtful, timeless content.
I have a lot to say about Highlighter, why I'm building it, what it is and where it's going. how it fits in the mainstream adoption of Nostr, and, to a degree, in the normalization of "keys over passwords", data sovereignty and more.
But these ideas are still rough. Very, very rough and demands a lot of filling in. This is still, very much, for the early adopters.
Let's focus on what's in this important release:
โ Data-vending-machine support: you can now very easily highlight podcasts and video content in a text-native way.
โ Patreon support: You can now create RECURRING subscriptions to support your favorite creators and shitposters. I will say a lot more about this and a follow up with a NIP to standardize and help other builders disrupt Patreon and bring creators of all kinds to Nostr easier and more compelling.
โ Zap-splits: Zapping a highlight creates a split on everybody involved in you seeing that content.
โ Curation: You can now create curations of articles and earn zap splits for your curation efforts.
โ NIP-32 Labels: categorize highlights and "margin notes" with any category
โ Full text support: Find what interests you across any topic in any type of event in nostr.
There's a LOT more to this release that I will be discussing in the next few days.
And a lot more to come.
Stay bullshit, my friend
