Thinking about getting an Akita. Random yes. But still thinking about it.
I could call him Toshi.
Btw - We are looking for a lead developer for our Nostr projects. Ideally full stack or back end. The position can evolve into a CTO role for the right candidate. DMs are cool.

Thank you. Once the Figma comes together we can share the link.
Happy to share the designs when the ui is a bit more evolved. Input is also very much welcomed.
One more thing. In addition to building a Slack alternative on Nostr & embedding a mini Nostr client in our existing apps we are launching a public relay on some decent iron.
The server is based in Switzerland and the datacenter runs primarily on geothermal and hydroelectric.
We should have the relay ready to go early next week and we will share it widely. More will come after that.
We want to help and this is a baby step.

I take a look. Thanks !!’
I will be at Nostrasia next year and I am very open to Nostr/BTC events I should go to before then. Recommendations welcomed.

I have to say after living on every monolithic social app for over 15 years Nostr by far has the most engaging and welcoming community of people I have met. Also some of the most optimistic. There is so much potential in this protocol and you all know it. The connection with BTC (& payments) is almost gravy to what Nostr can help people build.
Gushing completed.
Sounds like it. Great to meet you and thanks for the referral!!
Agreed. SMH. Also zapped.
That I recall. So I guess I should have phrased it as truly private chats or channels (group DMs).
Assume if we host a private relay for biz users (start ups) that would be a step.
XMPP is the other option for the chat part of the Nostr Slack.
So when do we think encrypted DMs (1to1 and Group) with come to Nostr? As we design out our Slack alternative (on Nostr) private chats, channels, etc come into play.
Thoughts on how to offer these features? The relay behind this could be private for paid users (think biz users) but public for communities, social cause groups, academics, etc.

I agree. You need a core engine which is broad base topically and then use that larger whole to spin off vertical or micro topic communities of interest. And something more elegant and tangible vs an algo-based filters on your streams. They will want channels, roles, mods, etc.
At my company we are going to embed a nostr client inside our community app so people can plug into a general topic stream and then spawn their own micro communities from popular topics from the main stream that is nostr today.
In legacy terms, combining Discord with Twitter where Twitter topics that hit critical mass spawn discord communities that are filled with users much faster.
So imagine levels of post engagement. I like a post so I share it. I zap a post. I join a community that is aligned with the topic of a post(s).
Good night and glad to hear you are having such a great experience on nostr. I am thoroughly enjoying it as well and very excited about its future.
It would be nice. It is a dream I have.
