Yeah that photo was a good one, phone did all the work. I just clicked and that was what I got, couldnāt repeat it if I tried. Would be a member myself if we were more local, settle for visiting every other year.
We actually went down the Cove for lunch but went to the first little place the Beach Shack (the crab shack was still opening up), had myself the obligatory crab sandwich, it was great. Weād been told to go there by an island expat who now works up in the far north (over the border, where winter is a real season).
Will def be going back down there, Steephill Cove was one of our favourite days out this trip.
Lost in translation!!!
On a side note I visited your local botanics last week, one of my favourite. Got this snap looking down the tunnel out to the cover. Also visited Craveā¦lovely! 
Anyone else been tracking this outage/cyber attack?

Pure griftā¦it amazes me the mental gymnastics that some Bitcoiners have when they convince themselves he is āon their teamā. The enemy of my enemy isnāt necessarily my friend, when the winds change he would as soon throw Bitcoin under the bus to save his own hide.
Folks need to remember that he is no different than most other politicians, blue or red, self serving.
Nice work, just on book 10 atm. Good by my standards tbh, as I was 1 a year before and pushing for 1 a month this year.
This was such a balanced and fantastic conversation! Great stuff nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx
Makes me miss podcasting! Although, if I were to go back to doing it Iād need it to be in person tooā¦
100% agree, even sent it to my father in law who is not a Bitcoiner at all but whom I feel is falling for all the signs of tribalism.
GMā¦.seek and you shall find! 
Ditto! Hoping we have some better weather next week, sounds like the remains of the hurricane is heading our way
Nah, this is the time to holiday!
Pastel de nataā¦.the best, enjoy!!
Thanks, super simple currently. Feedback much appreciated.
Successful second-hand book find moved this one from my āwantā to āon the shelfā.

Iām working on book app built on nostr that I hope to extend to mini social communities (almost chat rooms). That way people donāt have to go to the main feed of Damus or something similar to find conversation.
Open Librarian, have a look see what you think. It is quite basic still, but you get the idea. If you try it maybe spin up a new NSEC, it is early days.

100%, book tracking isnāt a new thing and as you say there are others out there doing something similar.
First difference I am going for is building this on the open social graph that Nostr offers. This has some really interesting opportunities for social engagement, cross-application conversions, avenues for authors to directly connect with and monetise their content. Iāve also built it on the Open Library stack which offers the possibility of getting books into peopleās hands as they do have a range of books available to be borrowed. Further out I am looking at how with integrating things like zap.stream it could be possible for authors to have direct video dialogue with fans (book readings, interviews etc.) and maybe even allow independent book sellers to have nostr powered shopfronts in OL.
As for what I think something like Open Librarian can do for Nostr, I believe it could make the protocol more approachable for non-Bitcoiners. I am also thinking that this sort of specialisation is critical to Nostr flourishing, I will not be building the regular fire-hose of kind 1s into the app but am instead thinking about tailoring the view to books (and related) content by maybe using tags for feeds and topic specific āchat roomsā.
Outside of that I and hoping to strike the balance between fun social book tracking app and not being a drain on peopleās time. Letās face it weād all like folks to spend more time reading than scrolling the socials!!
Iāll see how it goes. Set myself a challenge of a book a month (very good for me since I was a book a year previously) so will give my verdict in Nov.
Yo nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx when do you think we can expect a similar note from nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy?
