Honestly it's just fun to write clients. The more the merrier.
Solid plan. Nothing beats the plan that you can stick to consistently.
MAF training has been my goto when shaking off the rust. It can be painful to run slow, even walking at time. But after a month or two the results really start to show.
I've been enjoying ditto.pub
Buggy at times but I like the clean look.
Nostrudel is great too, reminds me of the spirit of Amethyst (if it can be done, it will be done), but on the web.
Even though coding via go templates and plain ol' javascript is worse at scale for highly interactive apps, it's been really fun learning into htmx and Alpine and seeing what all I can do without frameworks and a build system.
Turns out, you can do quite a lot.

I find myself using slack or discord a lot to send notes to myself. Especially if I want to send something from my PC to my phone.
I'm sure others use services like notion or apple notes to just automatically do that, but I decided to create one using nostr.
This webapp will send draft kind 23 notes to a server and it is stored in a relay run by that server. Everything is encrypted client side.
Users get an nsec generated on first visit. You can "share your notes" and you'll get a link with the nsec so you can retrieve notes on another device. It's super basic and definitely lacking in more features.
Try it out at
Note: the DB backing this could be wiped at any time. So just keep that in mind.

Sick! I'm Denver based, there's good running up here (when it's not 90+ degrees out)
It's fun when you're not the only one using your project
Also scp'ing a single binary is pretty nice.
Khatru makes it really easy to customize a relay page. Do any other smaller community relays post regular backups? Might make it easier to bootstrap new relays, or just do data analysis.

Is it useful? Not a clue. But just a random idea I had that I wanted to build.
Agreed. Already working on another extension that I'm calling `window.scrobble`, so any client can just hook into that to publish the scrobble event.
Bridging existing data out of walled gardens is just one piece. I also agree on the "streaming by another name". I want to just own my music and pay you for it one time.
If anyone is looking for a fun easy project to do, and you're a Spotify or Plex user, try writing a connected app and publish what you're playing on Nostr!
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/concepts/apps
As long as you publish the kind 2002 event defined here https://github.com/ebrakke/nostr-scrobbler
Other apps will be able to display it!
Let's get as much data on nostr as we can
Yes! I use it extensively with plex as well! Building on the backbone of what last.fm has done has made this process much easier.
New version of the extension! Things are moving fast

They were trying to build an open web for music listens before it was cool 😀
If anyone is down to try experimental chrome extensions, Here's my first early release of the last.fm to NOSTR scrobbler extension.

If you have a last.fm account, and you have your streaming services hooked up to it, you should start to see them flow through this extension when it's in "syncing" mode. Then you can choose if you want to publish it.
If it doesn't work right away, try refreshing the page, or closing and opening the browser again.

Okay one last one for the weekend...
Here's a chrome extension that will act as a last.fm to nostr bridge.
You just have a to give a last.fm API key, your username, and your nsec (for signing the 2002 events).
In this demo, I am play all this music through the spotify app on my phone. I have spotify hooked up to my last.fm account.
This extension is listening for those scrobble events from last.fm, and publishing them to the scrobble relay.
Finally, the app in the background is listening to new events coming in on the same relay, so in real time you can see my scrobbles getting added on the app.
Open protocols are awesome, I love the inter connectivity!

I'm thinking that I'll periodically snapshot this relay and upload it to a blossom server. Then the server page can post a hash with the download link to grab the data.
Then anyone could run the graph if they want on their own relay, and they'll already get seeded all of the scrobble events.

You can publish your scrobbke events there to this relay, and this webpage will show all the music that has been scrobbled to it

Ha I did the same. Didn't realize uploads were disabled by default!
I've been finding my blossom server useful just for sending videos to friends as well. (Android to iPhone be damned)
Also if you have any links to the project source code you're working on, would love to take a peek!
Do you have a loose spec on what this kind should look like? I'd love to start figuring out how to integrate it into some of the music players I use (like cmus). Mostly just so I can publish to my own relay and keep track of my listening history.
Music. Scrobbling integrations. Decentralizing the entire music recommendation industry, as that is one of the main reasons I think Spotify still has such a hold on people.
Adding image support to https://nostrava.xyz
All images are currently being uploaded to the #blossom server backing the app. Soon users will be able to choose whichever blossom compatible server they wish.

You can pack it super light with just the bottles (500ml each) or you can throw a full bladder in the back. Combine both and you can get 3L easily.
Tons of space for phone, snack, jacket, whatever. Just make sure you don't get it too big, otherwise it'll flap around while you run.
Are you working in an activity based nostr client as well? If so would love your input on the activity nip!
Suuuper rough, but here's a client that can handle nostr activites (like garmin / strava / etc..)
It's still a WIP and will only use one specific relay current to write all of the activity related notes (relay.nostrava.xyz).
While the NIP is still being worked on, I figure it makes sense to not publish these notes to a bunch of public relays as things could still change.
Currently auth is only supported via nip-07 browser extensions (more auth support will come soon).
When you share an activity, you can expand "Share Settings" to choose exactly what you want to share as a NOSTR note. You can trim the Map file so that you don't dox your exact location, you can also choose to not upload your activity file. In this case, only a summary of statistic will be generated.
I'm using the "sports-lib" javascript library to analyze the activity files. It's far from perfect, but it's good enough for now. My hope is that other who are better at this kind of analysis can create DVMs or other libraries to generate summaries from the raw GPX files, which other clients can then pick up on.
