During SMC 2025, we explored the themes of decentralized social networks and publishing. I was impressed by Bluesky’s growing presence in the U.S. academic space, but Nostr and nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q are also set to become official communication platforms for SMC 2026.

truly grateful to the Yaki team and all supporters.🫡 nostr:note197zdzu75n374kfshxc5nq6en7wgqr2ep9rxhfldxhz5ng53rx27qcc5jar
Just finished some hand copying. So calming.

Love nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q upcoming feature: sharing notes directly with friends. Lots of cool stuff ahead!😉

definitely!
Thinking about the scalability of decentralized social networks from three perspectives:
1. Identity — balancing user-friendliness and censorship resistance
2. Data storage — balancing unstoppable availability with fast loading speed
3. Better search and discovery
Optimistically, the first two — or about two and a half — of these challenges have already been addressed, forming the foundation for solving the third one. The third challenge is the key to enabling true network scalability.
The next focus will be on this third challenge.

Sí, funciona incluso con una conexión a internet deficiente o sin conexión, y es sorprendentemente rápido.
Tested nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q ’s new version and was amazed by the offline mode. New version coming soon!

Ahhhh, the link nostr:npub1824ytxe777e483ah97qct2jpfryv9lms9qhk74wadnqyaan6hq3qqhtzv8 shared does not exist thats why you are seeing 404. It should be yakihonne. com/notes/[noteId], but it is missing. that’s what happened 🤔
We love Yakihonne too, but how about just Yaki?
yup, the easy version
nostr:nevent1qqspv2ud595ugq37rahqq38psywuvmkc4c7450928r5pufjndax9h2qdvxlxj
Really appreciate this, nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 🙏
The two happiest things while building nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q :
1. Meeting so many crews in the Nostr community who share the same values and goals.
2. Being pushed to keep reflecting on what free speech truly means — and feeling the soft beliefs returning. This feels like the beginning of another movement. nostr:note1s0qldyqkxpy65r88x7rhx0pwxcz3u42tjc7x3zpnrz3nejp8h8dsm99n2x
Good products are inspired, not just useful.
Yeah, it’s already happening in places with heavy censorship.
Rereading this book again after Charlie Kirk’s death, the soft beliefs of the younger generation feel impossible to ignore.

From an efficiency perspective, combining AI with social media might not really work, since social media isn’t designed as a workflow tool. Instead, leaning into fun and playfulness could be a direction.
Had a great chat with Jerry about the freedom brought by Bitcoin and Nostr, and how Yakihonne keeps overcoming the challenges along the way. nostr:note1lgjn84fzas95nhtf5e69ty3vgwndsr398vgz3e8kjg92r7qz4mas524fdt
That’s a fact.
There are many AI tools related to Nostr. I haven’t tried them yet. Zap Tracker is fine.
17 mini apps are deployed on nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q through Programmable Smart Widgets.

Hey! Really appreciate the support. So happy to hear YakiHonne gives you the best UX. keep building.
One of my favorite features on Yakihonne nostr:note1jz6nxdkeyarttesvzmvgmalqlmf22gmaulcdhgm6gv84l5a5vy4q25w6k0
The academic monopoly chain:
Researchers create → Paywalled publishing → Users pay to download (including the authors themselves) → Publishers keep profiting 💸
Now even decentralized platforms like Sci-Hub are starting to introduce token-based paywalls.
🤔 Shall we build a decentralized academic publishing network on Nostr?

Organizational ontology helps drive real decisions.
