The clojure HTTP ecosystem is easier to grasp.
Clojure script is really good, but add more layers of complexity.
Just a warning: once you feel the power of the parenthesis and data as code, there’s no way back.
Take a look in the channel “on the code again” in YouTube for some really nice videos
I'm very excited to announce the first release of Broadcstr! Check it here: https://www.broadcstr.com . Broadcstr is a web/desktop client for Nostr, it's missing a few features yet but I hope it will improve over time! It's also open source: https://github.com/fluizsp/broadcstr
Cool! I’ll be testing that one soon :)
I've been thinking about how easy would be to store a web application on Nostr.
Looks like is pretty simple, actually.
Created a (very, very rough) proof of concept if anyone is interested:
I’m experimenting how to publish web apps on Nostr.
It’s doable. But a lot of work to be done yet. I’ll release a proof of concept soon.
I'm starting to think about my plan for the next 5 years. Really excited.
Some of the things that I thinking about:
- Work for myself, or at a really small, highly productive company
- One profitable side project
- Moving to a place with a colder weather
- Travel to Amazon Rainforest
- Travel to somewhere in Africa
- A dog or a cat (or both)
What about you? What do you want to do in the next 5 years?
I really like my work. But the truth is that I am having a lot of fun with my personal projects lately
Tomorrow is Monday :(
But… day off at work :)
There’s also this telegram group https://t.me/nostr_protocol
Good morning ☀️
I’m grateful for the privilege of experience Nostr with you all
Just a thought: you should be responsible for the long term storage of your Nostr activity.
Relays, unless specified by contract, should be able to constantly prune old data.
Take a look in this lovely guy:

(Photo by Lula Marques/Folhapress - 23.09.1992)
Something ~1990, the biggest problem for Brazil was something very fun, called hyperinflation.
Hyperinflation happens when your "money" is SO SHIT that your inflation grows at a ridiculously rate.
As an example, the accumulated inflation between 1986 untill 1989 in Brazil was 107.492,07%. In other words, the price of an item can go up 20x yearly.
Going back to the point: The guy from the photo is Fernando Collor de Mello, and he had a plan to deal the the hyperinflation!
After three months as president, he announced the plan "Brasil Novo" (Plan New Brazil).
Some of the actions of that plan were:
- Creation of a new currency: Cruzeiro Novo (Cr$)
- Price and salary freezes
- Prices increases in energy, postal services, etc
- Creation of new taxes
Ah, yes. Also one more little thing: HE DECIDED TO BLOCK ALL THE ASSETS ABOVE 50.000 NCz$ OF ALL THE POPULATION.
As a reference, 50.000 NCz$ was not enough to buy a car.
He was impeached some time later. But that disastrous left its mark.

Currently, Fernando Collor de Mello is in the Senate.

I'm not a specialist in the matter. But seem's like a good story to share with you all!

"Terra nostra" is also the name of a soap opera from Brazil. (really good, actually)
Oh my. That’s true! Just tried it out after seeing your message.
I mean... use it outside Nostr, of course. Inside nostr just tag the npub #[1]
Tip
When sharing your pubkey, try:
nostr://npub184jvqdrlyu34y28yd5p9a786jwnjrsrd9tr9nl24n52lzwmk4deqkkzed7
It'll be rendered as a link (in most cases) and can be opened directly on any app that supports it.
For Damus it works fine at least.
Added some more functions to https://github.com/Marcelo-Theodoro/clj-secp256k1
I believe the next step is something like `clj-bech32`, and finally put it all together in the `clj-nostr`.
With those simple (and basic, really) building blocks are essential for the long run.
I did it more than once. Didn’t had any problems!
