does "boost a note" have a spec? I don't even know what that means.
hopefully will be easier once we launch on mobile this year
Nostr does suck. The NDK that much of the nostr protocol is running on is BAD. Very, very non-performant. nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq32amnwvaz7tmgd9ehgtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqyluj3x and nostr:nprofile1qqsyeqqz27jc32pgf8gynqtu90d2mxztykj94k0kmttxu37nk3lrktcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshsz9nhwden5te0d4kx26m49eex2ctv0yhxcmmv9ume3twc are doing ridiculous amounts of work to improve for relays can run.
All Clients that I'm aware of are junk in terms of how data is used. Redownloading stuff, poor caching practices, etc. Are killing performance unless you have really good hardware on a really good network. This needs to change. Fundamentally, data efficiency needs to be addressed, or nostr will never be able to grow as it should.
I am testing on very low bandwidth links in notedeck and it seems to be working well
nostr doesn't necessarily suck for this, but many clients are probably not doing QoS on requests to prioritize notes over media on low bandwidth links.

turns out you just have to get it to roast things to see its true opinion
"don’t even get me started on his Twitter feed. It’s a buffet of doom-and-gloom hot takes, with all the spice of a beige cardigan. He’s like an old-school prophet shouting "REPENT!" to crypto traders, who are too busy YOLOing their savings into meme coins to care. Speaking of crypto, Peter's refusal to acknowledge Bitcoin is the intellectual equivalent of yelling at a Tesla while trying to sell someone a horse.
At the end of the day, you’ve got to respect his consistency—being wrong for decades is its own kind of achievement. But hey, at least he has gold, right? Too bad you can’t pay your rent with a bullion bar."
asked chatgpt what it thinks about taleb and antifragility.
"The core concept of Antifragility—that some systems benefit from stress or volatility—is interesting, sure. But isn't this just a fancy way of saying, "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger," with extra jargon to make it sound profound? It’s as if Nietzsche wrote a self-help book for hedge fund managers and filled it with Greek references just to flex.
Speaking of which, Taleb is allergic to simplicity. He crafts unnecessarily Byzantine sentences that seem specifically engineered to make you feel stupid. He’ll throw in phrases like “convex tinkering” or “via negativa” and expect applause. Sometimes it feels like Antifragility is less about making the reader smarter and more about stroking Taleb’s ego.
Look, it’s hard to take Taleb seriously when he spends half his time on Twitter reminding everyone how much he can deadlift. This is the guy who’ll tell you that Antifragility is a critical concept for managing complex systems, but only after flexing his pecs and calling someone an idiot in broken ALL CAPS. Is it a philosophy or a gym diary? Who knows!"

yeah it's kind of subtle until you dig into the details. the data I saw being collected when working at startups was horrifying. complete playback of the cursor during browser sessions, etc.

my building is old and the vent seems to suck pretty bad. I usually have to open the window and front door when cooking
could just turn it on again and see what happens
I think its fine if theres a nsfw tag, which many clients have an option to filter out.

I’m really trying to like this app, but man…it keeps ‘unfollowing’ the accounts I follow, the app feels clunky, I get notifications, but I see nothing when I go to the app. am I doing something wrong? Should I have created my account within nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955? I created it in Nostr before I downloaded Damus. #help #botcoin
what app?
I try and get attacked for it. Just gonna give up. Seems like the number of people who care about this is dwindling by the day anyways.
Why would devs do the hard thing and pour their effort into getting something working at the protocol level thats already available by some popular proprietary nostr app? Especially when they have the majority of the users and they are happy with the solution.
The very few people doing protocol dev will stop doing it. Users will be like: wow you got something working in a janky way which we've already had two years ago on NostrGram, who cares. It's becoming not very rewarding work.
You could have easily built zaps in a way that worked only on one app and all the users used that app because its an awesome feature. Building zaps was non-trivial and required lots of work between many different parties. It's sad we're moving away from this way of building things.
no
another benefit is that it will make nostrdb fulltext searches compatible with search relays. So local search will return local results quickly, and then network-wide notes will trickle in afterwards.
Maybe once the APK is available for official testing, we might be able to convince nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhglzevy3 to publish it on Zapstore.
yeah we’ll do it eventually
Apparently he had items with pretty much perfect stats
even as optimized notedeck is network wise, I still notice subtle issue on the lowest bandwidth links.
one that stood out was that even though the data getting returned from the relay was really small, profile picture and media loading was swamping the link bandwidth and the nostr responses were just lost.
one change I'm making is QoS on certain requests. For example: ensuring nostr data is returned before we start loading media. This should work well on all connection types.
Lesson here is always be testing on low performance and low bandwidth devices (via android or iOS network link conditioners) if you want to create a good experience for everyone on the planet.
manifesting your 15th NIP for your 2 active users 
regardless it seems like nostr aligns with their stated mission on their website 🤔
NIP-22 has become non-optional. It solved a real problem and was a good idea, but also it was a breaking change. A non-optional breaking change. I made this point early on, calling the other devs mavericks and juggernauts.
Now we are in the situation where gossip either doesn't see anybody's replies, or it replies to their replies with kind-1 events which I am now told is a "sin". You see, I am not allowed to ignore this NIP-22. It is non-optional.
I'm not even against this being non-optional. What I am against is not running a migration campaign... not pushing everybody to upgrade to it. I warned this situation would happen and I was ignored. So now we have this mess.
I will now upgrade NIP-22, but somebody needs to go around to all the other clients and push them all to upgrade too.

notedeck has an embedded relay, so you get that for free. notedecks will be able to sync with each other as well.

yes. zap stream is becoming a notedeck app: https://github.com/v0l/zap-stream-app/pull/1 as example. But still far off from wasm/dynamically loaded apps
