Not sure if it's a precursor, but this came across my radar: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay
Based on polycentric https://youtu.be/xYL96hb_p78?feature=shared
The system looks A LOT like nostr, but it seems to be developed internally as opposed to nostr that's developed in the open by any and everyone.
I may be wrong about that though, I may just be in the nostr bubble and not in the polycentric community (although I didn't find any polycentric community).
I sent them an email but I'm sure no one really likes to hear that they have competition when they're building a free open source project.
I basically told them that we should find a way to work together but didn't really give them any contact details because... Who's the CEO of #TheNostr ?
They seem to have invested a fair bit in their tech and maybe they'll be successful having an influencer (Luis Rossman) backing it and now an app in the app store being advertised. 🤷🏻
Well, I installed their player when I watched an interview with nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpr3mhxue69uhkx6rjd9ehgurfd3kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tctty609 on a podcast. At first I liked it, but when scanning my local network, I found the following services open ins my smartphone: telnet, mysql, among others that I don't remember. Look, I didn't like that and I thought it was kind of strange, so I uninstalled the app, and the services gone. Does nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpr3mhxue69uhkx6rjd9ehgurfd3kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tctty609 have anything to say about it?
