Nostr Web Client

The hard part is to identify the language of the post so that a button can be added to the UI only when translation is needed. Amethyst identifies the language on every post it downloads, both on content and in each natural language tag.

I will provide an API to the users of the translation service that does language detection for free

Right but does the app calls the API in each post? Like 1000s of requests when the app is loading?

We also do that in private DMs. Do your users want you to see the encrypted content?

semisol 6mo ago

Yes and it can handle those requests just fine. Also, HTTP/2 is a thing, you know.

You can simply allow the user to choose if they want to send private DMs or not.

I am not sure... People already complain about data usage right now, imagine when each post gets 2 new payloads (up and down). I will need to do some tests.

Can you talk to the other providers (nostr.wine, etc) to make a single API spec for everyone?

semisol 6mo ago

There is already a spec it’s called ghe LibreTranslate API. The only difference with mine would be that it uses Nostr HTTP auth instead of API keys

Vitor Pamplona 6mo ago

Sure, that's a new spec

semisol 6mo ago

Only replaces the Authorization header

Vitor Pamplona 6mo ago

Still, if everyone in nostr does that, we can have the user choose the provider without having to implement custom variations for each one.

semisol 6mo ago

Yeah I’ll publish a spec
