I made damus, npubs, and zaps ⚡️ Independent bitcoin core and lightning dev.

building software is just building a bunch of stuff that you need to build before you can build the thing you want to build

its the worst

nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is there any way I can search my own notes?

I’d like to find a conversation I had with nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 about me travelling to New Zealand.

local search only works by keywords at the moment. try searching new zealand in the search:

we're gonna add more advanced ways to search locally in the future

yeah I'm not sure what truncate means here

not sure what you mean, clicking will bring up a column reply chain once we fix threads

video of this in action. I think it would be even cooler if the reply chain unrolled above the note you are hovering over. will try that next

starting to think it should just show the entire reply chain above when you hover over any note

desktop experiment: quickly see the replied-to note simply by hovering

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s I always find fun when it’s Christmas and the apps change something like you can see Santa on Google maps or sending presents. Is there something that can be done in Damus ? Like how can I zap presents to people ? xD

would be fun

after mainly using notedeck for awhile, the performance of damus ios is jarringly bad in comparison. sometime next year I will switch ios over to using the local relay for everything to match notedeck’s performance.

Sorry for the delay… notedeck has been our testing grounds for building a client this way. once we’ve happy with the design we’ll port it to iOS.

It's crazy most of the world doesn't know we're zapping digital gold dust over the internet

so bad

I’ve been trying

Its DMs with a few more things. Also want to support pinning public threads in your inbox as well. I originally called this your “notebook” which was just a way to monitor threads of various kinds with archival states.

Listening to this TGFN pod and the idea of Notedeck as a nostr browser, where, just like webapps have a DOM and JS APIs, nostr apps would have a readily available local relay, signer and even UI primitives.

The idea implies an app marketplace, but marketplaces are notoriously hard to pull off.

In this sense nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 has advantages: 1) it is not restricted to nostr so demand is higher, 2) it builds on established distribution formats like APK, so the supply side can be "growth hacked" to break the chicken-and-egg problem.

What if we also make Zapstore a nostr app runner? Expose these apps to potentially many more users, leverage binary verification and all that zs provides?

If NIP-01 is used to access the local relay and NIP-55 or similar to access the signer, then Zapstore as a WASM runtime + Citrine + Amber might just work.

Curious to hear your thoughts nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q3ttcfs

what exact is it running exactly? I don't understand why an app store would be resposible for running anything, especially when most of the apps are web based.

are you planning to build a browser? because that's what I'm doing, and I was hoping it was crazy enough to stop people from copying me.

I mean this is the same issue if someone gets your email password and downloads your mail? On nostr you just get a new key and update your nostr address, you could have the inbox relay(s) disable the account (prevent future auths from the key), maybe we could spec that.

I mean i think this is already better than current email where noone expects any privacy or message security at all, obviously would prefer forward secrecy if a spec for that existed and isnt crazy complicated. Maybe there could be an upgrade path eventually

I honestly never notice.

Hey nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev let me know if bug reports/support requests should go elsewhere.

One thing I’m noticing in Damus still is inconsistent display of the Zap button. It often doesn’t display at all in my feed, and sometimes when I click on a note it will appear, but be unclickable.

Let me know if I can provide any information.

https://zap.army to enable zap button. Apple doesn’t allow us to have one

yeah. The hello world should be a few lines of code and doable in a scripting language like js, all while being more performant than 99% of clients that exist today
