As a user, yes. As a developer, I will continue to develop apps on Apple platforms. Bringing freedom technology to where users are at is the goal.

No, the Apple reviewers who approved it don’t understand the feature well enough. Primal is also breaking Apple guidelines if you read it thoroughly.

Meanwhile, I’m able to zap notes on the Primal iOS App Store build with Bitcoin that I did not acquire through in-app purchase. Apple reviewers continue to enforce policies disproportionately.

If you own a Google Pixel 6a smartphone, you may be eligible for $100 USD (or local equivalent) cash back or $150 in Google Store credit towards a Pixel upgrade due to battery issues.

Web of trust can be poisoned by a single weak spot. It’s up to the rest of the network to report it and for clients to utilize reports. It’s something I want added in Damus.

I vibe coded a Blossom management tool if anyone wants to test it out. You can obviously selfhost it but if you just want to try it, it's available at https://sakura.oxtr.dev.

It's definitely in some kind of alpha/beta version atm so there's probably some bugs in there. That said, it seems to mostly work for now. No remote signing support yet, I'll see if I can get that set up tomorrow or next week. Sign-in with browser extension and raw nsec works though. Would appreciate some feedback on bugs, UX, features, etc.

I was just chatting with nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr that I was hoping someone would create a Blossom client like this. Thank you!

Vibecoded my first Damus Notedeck PR to add localization using Cursor, with no prior Rust knowledge.

You know you’re in Canada when milk comes in plastic bags.

Yeah, it’s paused. Sorry, folks. But I’m not giving up on it yet. My focus has been too spread thin to make meaningful progress on any single project as I’m doing all of this on the side. My focus is currently Damus and have a few exciting features lined up.

In the meantime, check out Aegis by nostr:npub179e5zckwq9vqsenc8ha9qv7p9vxwq20cq526ac67prts8kc4khmqu50zj8 which has been getting some traction as an iOS signer and adoption amongst some Nostr apps. I think their UX switching between apps looks pretty good. But there are limitations that can cause friction. Like adding reactions to notes.

### Final Thoughts

Whether you're there to learn, network, party, or build, Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas has a packed week of Nostr-friendly programming. Be sure to catch all the events, visit the Nostr Lounge, and experience the growing decentralized social revolution.

🟣 **Find us. Flock with us. Purple pill someone.**

The Damus presentation at the after party will be with nostr:npub12gyrpse550melzx2ey69srfxlyd8svkxkg0mjcjkjr4zakqm2cnqwa3jj5 and nostr:npub1fgz3pungsr2quse0fpjuk4c5m8fuyqx2d6a3ddqc4ek92h6hf9ns0mjeck as well!

Nostash, which is a fork of Nostore, requires iOS 18 for the same reason. nostr:npub1e3mx09yq53gyh9368qyuhfstgk8t7p5vvfcnvgwa4994y7rqg37s20qvr5 is there a reason why you haven’t upgraded to iOS 18 yet?

Is there such a thing as accumulating too many Nostr shirts?

nostr:note1g9r3x0mvsvlvr2hhmnymtpzh0t48azz6m39cev507jgs66u823dsnjwc5f

Oh thanks. I didn’t see that.

Both. The problem I’m trying to solve is provide a seamless user experience so that users aren’t constantly switching back and forth between their Nostr iOS app and the signer app.

It doesn’t seem to work properly on iOS 17 for some reason so I set the minimum to be iOS 18. I’d rather focus my efforts on Yeti than to fix the issues on the older OS versions. Luckily, all iPhones that support iOS 17 also support iOS 18, but the same can’t be said for iPads unfortunately. My own old iPad can’t upgrade from iPadOS 17 for example.

Nostash is a Safari browser extension I created that stores your Nostr private key and signs Nostr events with it per the NIP-07 specification. It’s a fork of Nostore, which is no longer supported by the original developer, nostr:npub19pw5egjuhcsfsv42zkjtjs6nhpm69lnv8w2dacdyez7rvacrqnds6xjtwk , and no longer on the Apple App Store. Nostash is currently in beta on Apple TestFlight and I’ll release it to the Apple App Store soon. Please try it with your favorite Nostr web apps and let me know if you have any feedback. I’m only maintaining Nostash as the sole NIP-07 solution on Apple platforms and do not plan to add new features. I will be putting most of my energy into Yeti, a better native iOS signer app, which will hopefully supersede Nostash once it’s ready.
