GM. Why does it have to be so painful to upload a gif or mp4 to Nostr? Am I missing something here?

Finally get around to next level media making and it’s like hell to even begin —-seems my only options are PAY in Sats or ….what else???? Are you really holding my creativity hostage right about now??

Gotta compress it enough to fit on nostr.build for free

As in a zip file before uploading?

No, MP4/gif file compression using a tool like ezgif or Handbrake 🤙

You still end up with an MP4 or a gif, just smaller (maybe lower quality depending how much smaller)

What client are you using? I regularly upload videos with Amethyst without issue.

Nostr.build has free uploads up to 100mb as well as larger if you get a paid account 👍

Sadly as a so called Canadian using Apple I am limited to Primal — where I cannot use the wallet as a Canadian —so I also use Damus for zaps ⚡️ and other functions

Nostr.build has a web page you can use on any os. I believe it is supported in Damus as well. Primal locks you into their own media storage I believe.

No one can hold your creativity hostage on Nostr 💜

lol… sorry to disappoint but the UX of any software— including creative software has been lacking in it’s ability to allow for creative FLOW forever— this includes popular software like Adobe and Canva — never mind social networks—- whether centralized or decentralized — so there is that …🤔😂🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
