Hidden Feature Friday
This is the first in a series of notes about the hidden features of Nos and Nostr. With so many developers and applications it's easy to lose track of what exists across the network. During the next couple of months, we’ll feature often requested, but little known features on Fridays!
EXPIRING POSTS
Yes, Nostr supports expiring posts as does the Nos.social app. To see it in action, watch this video of creating a time-limited note in Nos. Have feedback? Reply in the comments or reach out to us!

Aurores boréales : de nouveaux phénomènes attendus en France dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche https://www.liberation.fr/sciences/espace/aurores-boreales-de-nouveaux-phenomenes-attendus-en-france-dans-la-nuit-de-samedi-a-dimanche-20240511_6MSDLXZLC5AL3EWC5SURSHSGTA/
Exciting!
#Artstr
👉🏽 Part Two of the #Artstr Info for the contest.
Here the 2000 sats ✨task:
Take a film noir photo using your smartphone.
You can even explore your surroundings and look at them with a film noir mindset.
Alternatively, you can create a contrasting expressionist drawing.
You might also want to film a scene?
I am down for that and I'll be participating in this too.
I'd love to know what film or book you enjoy in the noir style,
what quote stands out to you,
or which expressionist painters inspire you in terms of film noir influence.
Please submit your work by May 28th. Have fun creating! https://video.nostr.build/8e624a432b7d06165a74c80250b763883be116ee8510e5e98c862ea5c99f7396.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/c327cbb5d494a9fffc4721ff7022a1c03ba26948ad65e56116313c1e3c985072.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/8e80064f1cf82ad6f207b1907b67eab65ca5d432c225e3926f939dbdd211dee8.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/6de896474cb937ab78d4db04c3e68c28d8482f0fde6a42589088cdbf9dcd2760.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/c5e6d47c9f6fb8c6f2621ffd64f6f0967aec22e4cd145bab8109ae71c6d4dc2c.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/ef048f9c287d4cd41a5f349f7dd83dc16cef8cbb2b5c4335f41ae4ec52ba767a.mp4
#Artstr is evolving. Now, we are getting mini-art lessons and being encouraged to create rather than just admire art. Love it. Thanks for beautifying my timeline.

GM! How do we help curate the agenda? Is there a poll somewhere or place to submit ideas for panels or talks?

He genuinely seems excited and pleased with himself. Probably fantasizing about his year-end bonus. I’m always amazed how capitalism manages to turn human suffering and poverty into a gold mine.
We’ve released a big update of nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch in the leadup to the launch of of the creators and journalist residencies.

We’re working on performance and hygine in the app while we also redesign the user discover and search functionality. In the last few months we did about a hundred user interviews with current, former, and future Nostr users.
We found a few things which jumped out at us.
* We discovered that the Nostr community is broadly considered friendly and welcoming.
* Almost everybody wanted there to there to be content on other topics beyond bitcoin. This was the case with both people who considered themselves bitcoiners and also those who didn’t identity themselves as bitcoiners.
* Most Nostr users felt welcomed, but a small number of people were agressive in harassing other users. We need to develop decentralized permissionless solution to these problems if we want Nostr to grow to it’s potential with hundreds of millions of users.
To address these issues we’ve created a program to highlight content about other topics beyond bitcoin. These folks are using bitcoin, they’re being setup with lightning wallets, and promoted in the app to help them be discovered without the centralized algorithms. Once this launches it’d be great to welcome these creators and journalists and validate the business model of micropayments and subscription content over zaps.
🔥 🔥 Just downloaded nos.social for the first time. You guys are developing features that I’ve been looking for in a nostr client. It’s nice being able to move between clients so seamlessly and not being tied to a single platform.
Interesting…when did Apple ban Damus from allowing Zaps on posts?
True, but in order for bitcoin to be adopted by the masses, it needs to be intuitive to use.
A new day brings new opportunities. Don’t let it go to waste.
Loved my brief time in NYC. Good food and tons of fun. I’m not tough enough to live in NYC, but I’ll definitely be a repeat visitor.
Where are you currently located?
Florida is just unreal. Between DeSantis and stuff like this, you all just need to go ahead and secede from the union. Promise we won’t fight you all this time. Just leave!
Thanks for the suggestion!
My hotel is in Times Square/Midtown Manhattan, but obviously I’m willing to venture out.
GN! Like the photo. It has a nice message. Change your perspective. Change your life. An oversimplification, but still helpful and somewhat true.
