The next Marmot Dev Call is this upcoming Tuesday (Nov 4) at 1600 UTC.
We'll cover the new specs for encrypted media and our proposal for notifications.
I've also recently talked several people building on Marmot so we'll leave time at the end of the call for demos too! đź’Ş Who's going to step up??
Intrigued. What even is “marmot”?
Just read it’s the protocol you’ve developed. Very cool
How do I read more about it?
https://github.com/parres-hq/marmot is the best resource.
What other sorts of things would you want to read? We're just starting to think about documentation/blogs/etc.
That's plenty to start with, for me at least. Thanks!
To answer your question: anything that makes a story, simplifies the problem, and is non-technical, I think is always a winner for introducing people to new things
An example being in your recent pod with nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqyprpyha0h8j4fx4vdfu284jmkp74hytu6xth35zrnslepnwlglgmk3hl93d and you were talking about how switchboards were never private, ie early telephone literally had someone listening, vs spies highlighting a word in a newspaper
Why did people do that? And whats relevant today?
Marmot is cool as it combines the strength of Nostr (Identity) with the next-gen standard for group chats MLS developed by big tech
Commenda is being built using Marmot - it's still early though.
How to join the dev call?
Coincidentally, we’ve been building nostr:npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh's next release with Group Chats entirely upon Marmot.
What’s the best way to contact you privately? I’ve hit a snag I’d like to discuss (either a mistake on my end, or a bug in MDK, I am able to replicate it), happy to join forces. 🤝
If we have questions on white noise where’s the best place to ask them?
I'll join, looking forward to seeing what you're all up to
And I could present my group chat app, that has cashu built in, for a minute or two of there is time on the agenda
The monthly Marmot Dev call is today at 1600 UTC. Come join us for a chat, to ask questions, and to see some demos of what we've been working on!
