nip94 gives us the ability to build giphy on nostr itself. Anyone can publish a nip94 note of a gif, and clients can optionally publish these notes when you share a gif, so you can find gifs your friends use. gif services can also publish these notes.

nip94 is file metadata. It’s a perfect usecase for this.

The contents of file metadata is a description of the gif, search engines can use this to do gif searches.

You can also add tags to the metadata note, so you can search on the image/gif mime type and the “lol” tag to quickly find lol gifs.

We have everything we need to start building this.

test notedeck post from macos #testinginproduction

#nostr is currently missing a MASSIVE opportunity. There is a new bitcoin testnet, testnet4. It is 100% compatible with nostr identity which uses bitcoin taproot. Furthermore, there are many faucets that let developers get started with on-chain transactions for free. The surface of dev at the intersection of nostr and bitcoin testnet is enormous because they both use the same identity system. Its a great chance to unleash the possibilities of bitcoin and nostr together, in a safe and forgiving developer environment

We're gonna be able to do our original idea of zapraisers in Damus Notedeck and Android, pumped for that. Was one of the coolest things rob had designed for iOS that apple prevented us from doing:

not sure why I never did this on damus ios but I'm thinking there should be a confirmation screen after you click post that shows a preview of the rendered post in case you screwed something up by accident.

Grid paper games are the best, I used colored pencil eraser as character tokens way back in the day

Hmm maybe I should try dragon slayer II then 🤔

hell ya

first 99 down #osrs #osrsstr #gamestr

time to go outside… 😬 whats everyone else up to this weekend 👀

all nostr clients use algorithms

most just choose the algorithm of sorting messages in timestamp order

this is the most neutral algorithm, it’s attractive ideologically

it’s a stark contrast to the corporate-controlled engagement algorithms we’re accustomed to on the rest of the web. It feels like a breath of fresh air. it makes nostr feel peaceful

but it also makes it hard to find areas of activity and energy which might match my interests. what happened while I was gone? what do I not know about yet, but might I find interesting?

if an algorithm is designed to attempt to bait me into anger/rage for the purposes of serving me an ad, then this is an algorithm I would like the power to opt out of. It’s designed to serve me an ad, not to inform me

I want to choose algorithms that serve my interest to learn from people I trust (e.g. show me the notes from people I don’t follow, but who are most zapped by people I have zapped; surface notes that are replies to notes I may have seen and zapped but which are gaining a lot of zaps/replies themselves)

we can create algorithms that serve the needs of users and not the needs of corporations. They can be transparent (how do they work?) and pluggable (add/remove which algorithms you see fit). This is a different approach with different incentives from any existing algorithms in social media. “Show me the incentives I’ll show you the outcome.” We’ve never seen the outcome with this set of incentives.

I want a nostr that’s more alive and points me towards hubs of energy/activity, but is structured in service of me
