SimpleX: https://lnshort.it/symbsrcool-simplex/ dev that’s excited about Nostr - recently launched https://nokyctranslate.com

Has anybody used alby to programmatically send zaps? Want to be able to zap people via python

Just finished book 3! This series is like mental candy haha

Thanks for being one of the first few people to try it. Hoping to get out more features / improvements in the next few weeks!

That translation would only have cost 8.2 sats with NoKYCTranslate FYI

This would be awesome for the community. Biggest cost is hosting AI translation models that produce the best translations. We have plans to reduce our rate over time if more people start using the service.

Haha that’s awesome.

Do we have a language detector that could catch anything?

Now I’m thinking it would be fun to add languages from sci fi books and movies too

Hmmm should we add binary to the languages supported by https://nokyctranslate.com ?

😂

#[2]​ could we actually do this in damus?

Some things that help me:

- vomiting stream of consciousness words on to the page

- going for a walk

- meditating and breathing techniques- these help my creativity a lot

- talk about the content I want to write with a friend

- waiting until the last minute before a deadline, freaking out, and letting my stress and anxiousness do the work for me

Last time trying :

nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac wants me to make mugs and shirt with that :

nostr:note1j05sgrx0nykkmpx6e8r2cu7agxd8gld57qpwyjmgjh0r03nepjyq86645q

I’d buy a shirt with that

Any way I can zap with 1-click or 2-clicks on damus? Right now it’s 3 clicks (tap lightning bolt, choose wallet, press send in WoS) or 5 clicks because WoS sometimes doesn’t load the invoice on first try and have to do another 2 taps to get back to it.

Also wish I didn’t have to leave the app.

If I can have this, I will be trying #onlyzaps

Away from my computer at the moment but I’ll check to see if this came through soon

Some great updates in this one!

I’ve seen that too and I’m not sure it isn’t a damus issue - could you verify that the request gets sent to our api, also happens with posts that seem to start with an English word or two and then the rest is in a foreign language

For some languages, like Japanese, I think DeepL may be slightly better. Spanish and Chinese seem to be really great with AWS.

Soon-ish will be adding alternatives to AWS, but need to get a few other features working first.

Launching https://nokyctranslate.com wasn’t the first project I planned on building for / with Nostr. I only did it because many people, including myself, voiced the desire for easy, hosted translations that accepted BTC/lightning. I’m glad I did though because I’ve learned a lot and it’s going to make my next project easier to launch. Some things I’ve learned:

- kubernetes for auto scaling to handle high demand

- chatgpt can help you debug kubernetes config files

- why number and time limit of database connections matter (too many and things stop working ha)

- chat GPT is helpful for formatting html

- bootstrap is easy and looks pretty

- easiest library in python for making Nostr bots is https://github.com/davestgermain/nostr_bot and https://github.com/davestgermain/aionostr thanks @monk_cactus

- how to get liquidity to a lightning node

- how to create payments programmatically with btcpayserver

- wrote my first ever swift code getting nokyctranslate.com into damus drop down (shoutout to #[0]​ for making the code nice and easy to follow, and for guidance)

I was nervous about launching my first app and my interactions with devs and others so far has been incredibly encouraging. If you’re hesitant to launch something, I’d encourage you to just go for it!
