This is a good tip. Maybe I will give it a shot
But that’s really more of a nice to have. Honestly, the app is feature complete and in maintenance mode at this point.
One thing that I always wanted to add, but never did, was that I wanted to move the key management and storage out of the browser part and two the native part.
I only have so much room in my life for social media apps. Twitter takes up most of my SM brain power.
Unlike most Nostr users, I actually like having a server and an algorithm. My entire Nostr feed is just stuff about Bitcoin and Nostr. I don’t even know if there is anything else on Nostr. Algorithms show me a wider variety of content, and I don’t want everything to be done in the client.
I am not quitting Nostr, it just doesn’t command a large amount of my attention and I haven’t maintained the same passion for it as I did early
I renewed my Apple developer account to keep Nostore on the App Store for another year. However I am not a heavy Nostr user these days so I will likely not renew again next year.
If anyone is interested in forking it at some point, I would support that.
I did receive your email. Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop on nostr these days. Can someone explain to me what's happening and how I can duplicate this problem?
Hey, Nostr. Been a while. I decided to take a free days off the Bird App. How’s it going?
I saw this in my feed and did quite the double take nostr:note1wadt5s72pctlddruvlv0u88kgd72nth0zpx93kj3sg65pyv555xq6zlwfr
Yes that is what I mean. Instead of trying to squeeze group chats into the current way relays work, there would be a new relay structure focused on this use case.
In essence, a server is a meta-relay, and each channel is an individual relay (unique message stream). server.com/bitcoin, server.com/sports, etc are each technically a separate relay. Instead of amalgamating text notes from all relays into a one transparent feed, a client would segregate the feeds based on channel.
There would also be “admin” type events for channel creation, moderation, etc.
In summary, opinionated relays + a tweaked client experience to create a clean chat experience, while still allowing you to build with the Nostr ecosystem of libraries and extensions
Would anyone use a Nostr experience that was more like IRC than Twitter? I am playing around with some things
New version of the Nomen Explorer out: 0.4.0. The biggest change is it now implements NOM-04, which means the indexer publishes its names to Nostr relays. If anyone wants to build tooling around Nomen names, there is no need to call external APIs, you can just use the same Nostr client libraries.

Ah, you mean it’s more complicated for the client developer? Yeah, it is. It is simpler for the user, though (it all stays in one app).
Most Nostr clients are JavaScript, and the typescript library is amazing.
Well, zaps are supposed to be public, but you could send ecash through encrypted messages, for sure.
No, it’s the opposite. It would set zaps free
Risk profile is roughly the same. With Cashu, you can have offline payments and superior privacy as you said, but also a totally open transparent standard developed in the open, interoperable mints, etc
If wallets implement this, it is nearly unstoppable. The event stores the money itself! It only redeemable by the owner of the public key. But there is a lock time condition, as well: if the owner doesn’t claim the ecash, you can refund to yourself after a time.
All of this happens without touching LN.
Cashu is Wallet of Satoshi on STERROIDS.
Nostr clients should implement Cashu wallets and a Cashu-based zap standard using P2PK to Nostr key instead of LNURL.
I supported the idea of it, but man, it really just went and got merged quick, didn’t it. 😬
