How can one go about writing a pen pal app on Nostr? Basically the only missing piece that hasn’t been done before is the ability to search for profiles based on a “looking for” field.

It could be used to make a language exchange app, for example. Just need custom profile data and to be able to query that

Someone ping me when nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 changes their name. Until then, it’s just a non-starter

You seem confused. Trump’s social media company is Truth Social, it’s CEO is Devin Nunes….. a politician who’s most famous for suing a satirical cow making fun of him on twitter.

Elon Musk owns X and hired Linda Yaccarino a CEO of the company formally known as Twitter. As far as I know Linda has never gotten a legal fight with any imaginary animals on social media.

I meant to say Elon, not trump haha

Twitter’s always had lots of drama, but the last couple of days there’s been a back and forth between Dr Yoel Roth, ex head of twitter trust and safety, and Linda Yaccarino the new CEO of X ne twitter.

First off Yoel wrote an op-ed in the New York Times:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/opinion/trump-elon-musk-twitter.html

It’s good, it talks about the way that targeted attacks and harassment are used to silence and limit speech.

Then a couple days ago Dr Roth and Yaccarino had back to back interviews at the code conference.

Yoel’s Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9XoUUYeZD8

Linda’s Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYymRU-bfpQ

Both are worth listening to if you want to understand the debates about where Twitter is today. There’s also a funny bit where Linda tries to reference X by showing her phone, but it doesn’t have x on it, only instagram, facebook, blind. The latter is a back channel gossip app for employees at companies.

Finally trump has a good excuse to fire Linda. Not just lack of twitter but also leaking secrets in Blind

When I told people this last year, nobody believed me. Yep. My first experience with Lightning was laughably bad because of Phoenix. Glad to see that they fixed that.

The Options API felt more intuitive than the new Composition API.

UI Frameworks seem to be converging in a way that I’m not really a fan of

Thought experiment: Everyone in the world has a personal server running in their own home.

What then is the biggest blocker to creating a functioning p2p network?

As I’m on the mission to post at least a couple dozen cocktail recipes on https://nostr.cooking/ and these posts are categorized as long-form, I’m starting to feel we really need to implement some kind of compartmentalization for Nostr-native blogging platforms on the protocol level. Otherwise everyones’ blogs will inevitably turn into “post salads” where we’ll have technical articles mixed with hobby notes and food recipes.

Would lists created by authors and corresponding tabs in the clients fix this, or is there a better approach? 🤔

I tried to articulate this problem as well. Got no responses.

Wouldn’t this by default be 10x better than existing options simply because it wouldn’t have bots?

Nostr-powered dating app with a very high POW threshold for sending messages

It would be very cool if you could configure it to only show non-follows that include POW as well!

Show me my friends and also POW higher than [threshold]

The Antarctic treaty 😁

If someone is already paying for ChatGPT, is there a way for a Nostr app to plug into that existing account?

Like “log into your chat GPT account in this nostr app and we’ll use it for various things on your behalf”

If they actually cared about Bitcoin adoption, wouldn’t MicroStrategy offer to pay their own employees in BTC instead of just hoarding it?

I don’t believe ships are allowed to travel that close to Antarctica, so we may never know
