I actually really liked that about nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8 DVM from the DMs. It's basically a CLI and once you have the commands down, it's faster and easier than using menus because you don't have to navigate through a visual plane.

You just hit the help, see everything it can do, and pick out what you want. You don't have to go play search-me-find-me with some menu option buried three layers down that doesn't work when you press it.

Why can't I just open the prompt and type "relays --all" or "profile change 'testuser'" or "zaps --default 27" or something?

I was thinking about this, yesterday. Menus are so 1990.

I would totally use that client.

Just completely pared-down interface and a prompt that lets me use 20 different features with 15 subfeatures each. 🀣

Nostrudel, but without menus, so that I can actually find everything by typing "help".

Gigi. I am shocked. Shocked, I say.

πŸ˜‚

Okay... logged in on my cellphone....

Is there a help? Does it call my relays automatically or...?

found the command for the relays, okay, but it doesn't seem to like my url

"// service workers are not good for relay subscriptions as I've learned they just die by themselves when they feel like it."

I'm dying. 🀣

lol wut?

"fucking" πŸ˜‚

I can't stop laughing.

I thought Gigi was making me an indecent proposal, but it's just my work laptop complaining about your naming convention.

the power of words

the source code for this website is nuts.

https://github.com/eskema/alphaama/blob/v3/cash.js

it’s the functions that really take it to the next level

I really wanted to try writing a note with it, so I could see how it displayed and if it count handle a feed, so I'm feeling sorta frustrated.

I want a viewer, I think, but really sleek and with controls in the prompt. Like a terminal program. I miss those.

we need pigeons.

carrier pigeons.

Okay, I can tell I'm going to go nuts trying to write a note with this, but... yeah, something like this, please.

How awesome is that?

https://github.com/eskema/alphaama/tree/main

the main version hasn't been touched in over a year, it's very buggy and outdated. I'm trying to finish polishing the new v3 release https://github.com/eskema/alphaama/tree/v3 which is running on https://wip.alphaama.com (it's still buggy but up-to-date)

features should be somewhat stable but I'm still refactoring a bunch of code right now

Yeah, I used the newer version but it wouldn't take my theforest.nostr1.com relay address or pull my relay metadata, so I gave up. Including an example, would help a lot. Couldn't figure out exactly how to type the address in.

And typing "help" didn't bring up any help, which is the cardinal sin of CLIs.

You probably need to add `read` and `write` sets to the relay you added, you can do it in a single line while adding the relay

`.aa r add read write`

or you can do

`.aa r sets read ` and `.aa r sets write `

After adding a relay, nothing will happen, you'll need to run a query.

You can do `.aa q stuff` to load some default queries to get you started or add one with `.aa q add `

You run queries by typing ".aa q run " or you can directly run a query with `.aa q raw `

I'm still changing a lot of things around so an outdated explanation of moving things doesn't help much either, a fucking manual will eventually happen...

I can try and help you get setup with it if you're still interested, it's not that hard once you have it going...

I am interested, no cap, but I'm totally wiped out and need a nap. Let me hit you up, later.
