Don’t you want a multisig wallet for large amounts? Or would you say that’s like an in-between wallet?
I only use Damus as a daily driver. but it works well for me. the others just haven’t prioritized performance as much and thus feel more sluggish.
something about email is very sexy though. nobody does it. rare. when you get an actual personal email it’s awesome.
I wish we could pay for certain major versions. Like I buy v1 and have it forever. I can buy v2 if I want to upgrade etc
This slide from @rabble at #nostrica was awesome!! I am so glad to see some of this love for UX come into the nostr world. UX can and should be better. Think outside the box!

Your box can be an NIP-33 replaceable event https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/33.md
No feeds. Standard HTML and CSS rendered by the client.
Robin Sloan’s ideal social platform, Spring ‘83.
Inspired by a magazine rack or classifieds page. Each person you follow has a fully customizable box. Get rid of the feed.
Totally do-able with NOSTR.
Trying to remind myself that according to historical trends, the entire next year will be a good time to buy. Big selloff before halving and then boom a little while after halving
there are many cases where people that receive organ transplants will get new hobbies and new likes / dislikes.
pretty amazing, but our affections are printed on our DNA. Really makes you think twice about addictions, media, religion, etc

just a thought, but maybe hashtags should also strip diacritics? so instead of ïòâ you get ioa
If your note is unencrypted, it is only a matter of time before it is data mined.
All unencrypted notes are fair game for anyone and everyone to mine and abuse. You should assume an adversarial model rather than one built on good will.
I really fucked up an interview right now.
It was an hour long panel interview where they have me role play with a fake brand.
One guy in particular was really intimidating and that didn’t help. Like I could just tell he didn’t like me from the second he saw me.
Sucks. Back to applying I guess
So lets say my mom has a multi-sig wallet. How does she spend that money on a day to day basis? She carries her signing device on her keychain?
There are guides on how to *set up* multi-sig wallets.
But where are the guides on how to *use them*?
I think such guides would be helpful in helping people understand what a bitcoin world actually looks like, but it would also highlight some bad UX flows that could be improved.
Oh wait nevermind. You can’t re-sell Badges. they’re only assignable once, right?
if there was an app for selling Badges, you genuinely wouldn’t need NFTs
Nunchuk wallet is unreproducible and they closed the issue on github without addressing it??
It’s cool, but people should be aware that it’s not always wise to do this. There are reasons for not linking every identity out there
Of course Meta wants to go decentralized. Imagine the cost savings of firing your entire moderation organization and no longer being responsible for illegal content.

Why is the timeline backwards on Nostur? (i updated to iOS 16 to try this app haha)
I have to scroll down to see the most recent? Just goes against the common pattern that people are super used to
