The two most difficult centralized services to divorce from: YouTube and GitHub. Luckily some smart folks are building the latter on Nostr.

Wow.
Github is much easier, if a dev decide to migrate, he will.
Youtube, if you migrate a channel you will loose 95% of the audiance, in some case 100% of the revenue.
Hmmm. What if there was an app that would make it easy for a creator or influencers to help their followers to transition to the new platform. Other then zaps, is there any other way to create income?
Is there a YouTube alternative on Nostr? I like Fountain, but I think it is just audio.
Wow. Wtf. nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 you see this?
David vs Goliath
What’s the GitHub alternative called?
Thank you! Tried to zap ya but it says you haven’t setup your wallet yet.
This is cool but FOSS alternatives already exist for GitHub, such as Gitea. Pretty easy to setup and already mirrors a lot of GitHub functionality and fairly widely used. Why reinvent the wheel just to integrate Nostr? And if we do want to integrate Nostr with a Got service, why not just fork Gitea and add the Nostr stuff to it?
There should be a "request edit" NIP, "git" not "got" haha.
Sometimes easier said than done to take a large existing project and rearchitect it to work under different assumptions. It can be done but it’s hard. Maybe with vibecoding, it’ll be easier. Someone (not me) should try it. :) Besides, it’s fun building things from scratch.
I think that this would be a great topic for a discussion with nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z.
Thanks for the pointer, I'll check nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz out more.
There's actually already an API for GitHub, and I think they were going to do GitLab and Gitea, as well.
We're nostr-izing a git HTTP server, directly, as SaaS, and renting out tenants.
Oh that's awesome. Can I ask, what's the utility of adding Nostr here? Is it easier, better auth? I.e. a challenge to the email way of doing things?
What a dick punch. Fuck YouTube. So sorry nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8! Can your tutorials get hosted on #Nostr relays?
the quality of videos on youtube has gotten so amazingly good tho. (hobbies, interests)
I think currently social media just needs to be used like a patchwork quilt.
