Nostr Web Client

I have much bigger ambitions for Damus than just iOS. I want damus to be the best brand in nostr, with the best tech and tools. I don’t want to put everything into a single app, which is why I’m trying to make native client dev as simple as possible by extracting the complexity into nostrdb. It should be much easier to spin up specific native microapps for different use cases.

Micro apps is just the Unix philosophy, and Damus will embrace this:

I know everybody is dunking on the random governor who decided that she could just wave her hand and unilaterally suspend any right she dislikes simply by hissing the word "emergency," but the problem is that she's only wrong if another political force — the courts, politics, disobedience, or Locke's old Appeal to Heaven — proves her wrong. Enforcing the limits of official power isn't some American $currentYear problem, it's a recurring issue throughout history.

The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently. In prior decades, they had to be cute in how they went about it, often requiring laws and lies. Now they're remarkably comfortable simply stating "because of the 'emergency,' you can no longer {travel | donate | engage in commerce | read | communicate | carry}," and that's the whole of it.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.
