📢 Announcing Highlighter 2.0

Release name: "Sig"

Highlighter has gone through so many changes that it's essentially an entirely new nostr client.

The goal remains the same:

👉 A nostr client for your most valuable information. Your reading. Your notes. Your thoughts. A place to discover thoughtful, timeless content.

I have a lot to say about Highlighter, why I'm building it, what it is and where it's going. how it fits in the mainstream adoption of Nostr, and, to a degree, in the normalization of "keys over passwords", data sovereignty and more.

But these ideas are still rough. Very, very rough and demands a lot of filling in. This is still, very much, for the early adopters.

Let's focus on what's in this important release:

✅ Data-vending-machine support: you can now very easily highlight podcasts and video content in a text-native way.

✅ Patreon support: You can now create RECURRING subscriptions to support your favorite creators and shitposters. I will say a lot more about this and a follow up with a NIP to standardize and help other builders disrupt Patreon and bring creators of all kinds to Nostr easier and more compelling.

✅ Zap-splits: Zapping a highlight creates a split on everybody involved in you seeing that content.

✅ Curation: You can now create curations of articles and earn zap splits for your curation efforts.

✅ NIP-32 Labels: categorize highlights and "margin notes" with any category

✅ Full text support: Find what interests you across any topic in any type of event in nostr.

There's a LOT more to this release that I will be discussing in the next few days.

And a lot more to come.

Stay bullshit, my friend

There is a feature I liked in the 🐦 app:

Visualizing a profile, I could see who of my followers was following that profile user.

If I see that "xy" is followed by Gigi and Pablo, I would be more happy to follow him, and if it is a well known person, would also be easy to notice if it is a fake account or not.
