Should I create a new browser by forking Firefox or Chromium? The core idea is to provide users with a key pair that syncs existing browser data like saved passwords, browsing history, and open tabs

This would allow us to directly integrate NIP-07 (nostr.window) capabilities into the browser.We could also include a Bitcoin (Lightning) wallet, even if it's just interfacing with users' existing wallets. From there, we can continue adding key-based features that users need, be it Pkarr DNS resolution, Web5 support, and Pubky integration

We could also fork Proton Drive + Docs + Calendar, but replace email + password authentication to their servers with key-based E2EE user generated data. Some private communications tool could also be built directly into the browser using something like the protocols used by SimpleX

I believe that once we get private keys into the hands of many users, it won't matter which protocol(s) ultimately succeed - we'll already be on the right path and will have taken the crucial first steps

Tell me how dumb this idea is

Anyone in need of developing traditional web or mobile applications, let me know. I have a bunch of designers and devs with me that can get it done

We charge at a rate of 250 INR (3 USD) per hour for our service

30% off, if paid in Bitcoin

(Just a few of us are Bitcoiners though, and I won't be doing development full time, so Bitcoin or nostr related projects might take longer than your traditional apps)

Bitcoin is both the best and worst thing about nostr

Is there any reason you would want to sign encrypted data, or encrypt signed data? We encrypt data to put them inside signed JSON in nostr because it was not supposed to be for private coms when it was initially designed

But otherwise I can't think of a reason you would want it, nostr should have probably had two kinds of events since the beginning

Morning

I think it's heading in a direction that will ultimately lead to centralization. I am still most bullish on nostr compared to anything else that exists today, but I believe we'll eventually see something else that will succeed where nostr is currently struggling.

I couldn't have said it better. I still hope nostr can change the direction it is going in, but not gonna hold my breath

But even if nostr doesn't work out, I hope we can move on to something better, with the knowledge we gained from developing nostr. It showed me all the things that can be done better compared to the traditional web, which is something that IPFS, SSB, Hypercore, ActivityPub etc hadn't done

Not as bullish on nostr anymore

Working on it

This is gonna be a weekly thing in Bengaluru. We'll have nostr and Bitcoin meetups, workshops and more, every week from now on 🟠🟣

Habibi come to Bengaluru

I find Nostrudel ugly, but still use it for the console stuff. I would switch to it if I could install some different theme. Definitely one of the well written web clients out there

Branle -> Astral -> Snort -> Primal

Will switch to something else soon

JOURNAL ENTRY (Jun 17, 2024)

Went to a new bitcoin hub that's being created in Bangalore. It's a co-working space for Bitcoiners and I can already see the result of putting a bunch of Bitcoiners in the same place, I'll be mostly working from there from now on

As I lay on a bed, trying to sleep at 3:15 am, life feels completely surreal. In the last two decades, I went from not knowing what computers or the Internet was, to worrying about a dockerfile not compiling an app properly

Existence is way too absurd to be real, yet it is

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg I only use Primal on phone, would love to see nevents and event refs with relay hints work. Unless you are already working on it, I can try implementing it and raise a PR if you want

JOURNAL ENTRY (Jun 16, 2024)

Missed a few updates, but I'm back again.

- Work:

Tested the latest releases of Bitkit and Foundation Envoy for reproducibility. Need to check a few more things before giving a verdict.

- Other stuff:

Last few days have been really interesting. But most of the things that have happened are deeply personal so won't make sense to write on nostr. Mostly been thinking about and working on relationships, boundaries, responsibilities etc with the people that I am close to and defining my definitions of right and wrong to be more clear to me than ever.

fuck yeah. i forgot about it

this is what you should code to
