In the past month...

✅ Refactored Nosflare to be the most resilient, horizontally scalable Nostr relay.

✅ Completed true interop with bitchat on Nym, a real decentralized, censorship-resistant messenger that can be loaded locally and never shutdown or banned.

Gonna spend the rest of this month working on new features and squashing bugs on Plebs, a truly decentralized, censorship-resistant YouTube/Vimeo/Rumble alternative that can also run locally and never be shutdown or banned.

Then, going into the new year, I think I am going to take an extended hiatus from building on Nostr. It has been over 2yrs of grinding, thankless work and I'm a bit burnt out. All of the projects will remain in maintenance mode and I will still review PRs.

I just need to expend such time/energy/resources elsewhere and touch grass more.

so much talent wasted on inane projects

Thank you for all the great work you’ve done!

It will be a well deserved break.

An idea I had for plebs, but forgot to ask you about it. Blossom servers have a 100mb limit. Would it be possible to divide the videos into chunks, and then reassemble them in the player? Basically a playlist of 100mb files that would play as the full video?

It’s probably doable. It would likely add some degradation in loading speed with the extra overhead. The plan nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr has for improved hash lookup would be greatly beneficial for this
