Sounds great - also, a feature to have Lists (public and also private) would be welcome.

About the financial side and sustainability of iris.to development, would be great to have some funding monthly page using notes or some other idea. This would allow us to see how the project is running out of money and we can all collectively zap and meet the monthly targets. Perhaps some inspiration from crowdfunding examples would help

Such framework would later also be used by other Nostr projects

Check out https://beta.iris.to . Featuring better content loading and option to turn off replies & reactions, images etc.

There's just some UI freezing that someone needs to fix before moving to production. Seems to not happen when you turn off "Ask events from relays" from https://beta.iris.to/settings/dev

#[2] Any plans to remove the heart/like button from Iris, sir?

Imagine a world without "likes".

ONLY ZAPS

Idea: remove completely the thumbs up/like button. So we just focus on zaps. Imagine the power of getting rid of likes. Economically for people it would be the same to click to give a like or to zap 1 sat. But collectively a million likes is much inferior to one million sats- #[0]​ #[1]​ #[2]​ #[3]​ #[4]

#[0]​ here's an idea for a feature: what about setting in the Mute tab how long we want? Sometimes I would like to mute someone for just a week and then auto unmute

#[2]​ what about you? This sounds like a interesting feature to consider and communicate

Your biggest "expense" in life isn't your house, changing your car every year, or getting an MBA overseas.

What really costs you the most is stubbornness, closed-mindedness, arrogance, and a lack of intellectual curiosity.

When the world changes, your mental models need to change.

Few understand.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

We doing good here, no need for blue bird app
