Is it just me that when the devs talk about "NIP- numbers", I shut off?

I know that devs people understand what the nip numbers but to average users who are not close to this projects and development would not make sense to us. It is causing confusion rather than collaboration.

If we want to expand #nostr beyond the dev techy people, would it makes sense if we start talking in layman's term about the development if we seek to grow?

We want to promote nostr but until we can speak in unison and of the same language that average people can relate, contribute and understand then it will be a downhill strategy for us.

If we want to educate, perhaps we can start speaking in less jargon. If there is a need for the jargon, at least explain it — make it inclusive to those who are not part of the team.

Radical community nostr client update:

I love how multiple projects and developers have reached out regarding building a community-based Nostr client. There are a lot who agree with closing the whole nostr ecosystem from the people joining on this particular client.

But I want to share some of my learnings and concerns to further the discussion.

It seems that NIP-29 provides a way to create groups and build a community-based forum.

However, a developer mentioned one caveat: it is built in a way to prioritize the Members. The arguing is that members invest in these communities, but the owner retains ownership, which, of course, makes sense for the owner.

But NIP-29 groups are designed to be forkable, which is intended to solve this ownership issue. In theory, members can fork the group by copying content to their own relay. This is good for edge cases where the owner goes rogue, but I suspect there will be grifters who might copy a community just to steal it.

I don’t fully understand the technical details. But from a creator's perspective, these owners have been building their communities for years, and people follow them for a reason.

I think no creator would ever use a community platform if they couldn’t own it. It should be the equivalent of owning an email list. This client should enable a person to act as a multiplier, reaching thousands of people. This particular use case of nostr is aimed at creators, only indirect to his followers. Fans can opt out in various ways, but forking a community that a creator has been building for years is a non-starter for them.

The need the power and own the community and can do with it what they want.

If you truly enjoy an email newsletter, you trust the decisions the person makes, even though you have no control over what they do with it.

If he fucks up go to another community - someone you trust more.

Most creators have a good incentive and long term focus on their communities (fuck the people who dump shitcoiners and grifters) real creators care about their people following them.

GM #Nostr

Here's a blog I wrote on exploring the Idea of CI/CD pipelines over Nostr a bit deeper, with a few Idea's that I think might actually work!

Let me know if you see any gotcha's or wrong assumptions i'm making, I'd really appreciate some questions and feedback!

What’s missing from flare.pub as a YouTube alternative?

What you mean impossible? Is that good or bad? Lol

Getting release notes together. Actually, going to be kind of big. Lots of new features and some bug fixes since last release #grain

Basically … any use-case that exists on the closed source internet should be rethought in this open nostr realm.

I keep coming back to ideas around #Firstclass & #Limewire & #mySpace …

Micro communities interested in sharing music & revolving about their micro culture

just setting up my nostr

Pick one of the 10+ Hacker News feeds and see how it destroys your timeline. 🤣

The challenge with RSS driven feeds is that Nostr lacks algorithms to moderate the influx of content.

I personally get a lot of value out of the Hacker News RSS but if I leave it on, I completely disengage from the rest of Nostr.

Less prolific rss feeds might be ok. But it comes down to the goal of the client / app. Are you creating a content consumption app or a social networking app?

RSS feeds can help the 9% of the traditional social media group that curates content for others so they don’t have to go externally to find content to share. But I’m not sure what they do for everyone else.

Any #carnivore folks on here who also can’t eat eggs? wtf do you eat for breakfast?

Waaat, but it's not in the nostr app list! 🤪

🔥FEATURE REQUEST WEEK 🔥

This week HiveTalk would like to hear what features you would like to see. We want to hear it all. We are going to gather all the information and make one giant list. Add as many things as you can think of. We want to try to implement as much as we can. We are excited to see what everyone comes up with.

Any AQUA wallet users having trouble opening their app today? Mine is freezing on the splash screen. Tried restarting my phone. Haven’t tried restoring from the backup phrase yet.

Does any other client use 1010 events for edits?

Also can't seem to find any info about it in the nips repo

Chorus supports AUTH and prompts everybody with an AUTH when they first connect.

But it doesn't require AUTH to read. If they issue a REQ, it responds. It doesn't check if they AUTHed first.

It only checks if they AUTHed as an allowed user for writing events (in most but not all cases). Read the docs for the details.
