Hi!
You know, I was forcing myself to keep using #birdapp as long as TweetDeck was available but now that it's not I'm pissed. I don't know what it is about it, it was just the easiest way to consume the data for me personally. The column format was excellent for topics I cared about as the feed became less valuable to me personally. #grumpy

I think the way this bounty is stated is put is not the ideal. I think most people will read this and think we need a big website that is just like GitHub but using Nostr somehow. I think that is not what we should see (and hopefully that's not what #[1] wants either).
What I would want to see are multiple apps that can interoperate and are able to perform separate functions:
- browse code
- comment on code (referenced by a commit)
- create issues and comment on issues
- send patches
- comment on patches
And how these should be done? I am not sure, but here's what I have in mind:
- most of the comment things should probably be kind:1 events, I don't know, with some extra tags (so they could be interacted with from the normal "social" Nostr clients? or not?)
- code should probably be hosted by standalone dedicated git servers -- and there could be centralized providers offering these services but they should interoperate seamlessly between themselves and with standalone personal servers
- sending patches should probably be done using something like this approach by #[0]: http://git.jb55.com/git-nostr-tools/file/README.txt.html
#[2] has opened a discussion on this topic on the NIPs repository that could possibly be used to coordinate the efforts: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/223
I think we could have multiple different smallish webapps, native apps and specially command-line tools that implement one or multiple of the separate functions described above, and with that we can achieve a much better result both in terms of quality and of decentralization than if someone or some big team decides to tackle the entire cake and come up with some centralizing architecture on their own.
What about this kind of thing note1vekuzs0f40j7xgzwz73hentvl8ulsp8th8nul7rcp6vugydcceaqrk4yjk nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6

This came from looking at OSS problems generally but really came into focus during yesterday's shitstorm regarding the testing library "Moq". How can you provide financial support to OSS projects without relying on sponsorships and donations but rather have some automated means? What if we use nip13 and delegate proof of work based on someone's contributions (weighted) to an OSS library (as in public repo) Also, you could zap projects but also automate zap on usage in CI/CD and you can't use if you don't have sats to zap and the only way to get them is to contribute (either by contributing proven work or by actually adding sats). We need a more sustainable model, I think this might be how we get there.
Non-state media called trudeau an idiot and now he is regulating news off the internet 🤡

eh, no - not even close. Not a fanboy of JT here, but I do understand the reasoning. Media isn't quite the same up here as it is down in the States, but from my understanding, some of the arguments for Bill C-18 are:
- It would support the Canadian news industry, which has suffered from the loss of advertising revenue to tech platforms which regularly have attribution ripped from content.
- It would ensure fair and transparent negotiations between news publishers and tech platforms, and prevent platforms from discriminating against certain news sources.
- It would recognize the value of news content and the public interest in having access to diverse and reliable information.
- It would benefit small and local news outlets, which are more vulnerable to the dominance of tech platforms.
Also, what happened to my MAUI nostr client? MAUI is such a pain to work with currently, there's almost no point until it feels much more complete and less buggy. Hoping for NET8 to help, but I just am not convinced MS has it in them to fix the problems in the same way that Uno/Avalonia has the ability to.

Why though? Aren't there enough performance-oriented dbs already designed?
Couldn’t find my email this morning. 
Grumpy about Apollo. AMA
I still don't get why we so desperately want to run software through web browsers like they aren't web browsers.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m Who runs nostr.com? Trying to showcase it to the .NET folks, but I've heard "It says too many redirects."
I do love a good animated profile pic. #dotnetMAUI seems to handle these as you’d expect: 
Welcome #[0] !
You know, MAUI can be beautiful - if you let it. #nostr #nusocial
I'm working on it again after a nice chat yesterday. :)
The only well-identified problem is where the abstraction is too tightly coupled and those services go down and then the abstraction is useless.
Honestly, these cables have been kid-proof and we've tried SO MANY: Anker, Native, Nomad, Amazon, and gas-station specials. They come in #nostr purple too.
