When nostr:npub1cj6ndx5akfazux7f0vjl4fyx9k0ulf682p437fe03a9ndwqjm0tqj886t6 started building the Nutstash.app wallet, he was wise enough to build a TypeScript library called Cashu-TS with all the basic crypto mechanics of a Cashu wallet. Soon after, nostr:npub1dgesr3zcgyjv2z0050h7auzdlf88gycry7tlk7wsypmgngy97yxqv4mccn has entered the chat and started furiously contributing to Cashu-TS. I've never seen a dev who can close issues faster than this guy.

Importantly, libraries can be much more powerful than "just apps". Libraries enable other developers to easily build apps themselves, without having to understand and implement everything about the protocol from scratch and, thus, they accelerate innovation! It seems like Cashu-TS has now become the de facto default library for building Cashu frontend apps. Look at all the things that use it!

PS: every single sat zapped on this note will go to nostr:npub14a93ehrzfgd73uclhans95xcwdqsselevat42cqa30q73nacfnussnlgen and I hope he will continue contributing to Cashu for a long time!

Apps that use Cashu-TS: Nutstash.app, Cashu.me, redeem.cashu.me, Peanut wallet, Snort.social, eNuts wallet
