Thank you for posting to nostr!
 I find it very enlightening to watch the CEOs of Nostr argue amongst the plebs
Just use the one that sucks less for that specific note
Chill homie
You can hand someone a knife and you can tell them that it’s just for cutting food and cooking but at the end of the day if they decide to commit a murder with said knife, it’s not your fault for helping them see the benefits of the tool
The Nostur Report 2024
This is my second end of year report, along with some of my favorite bookmarks and thank you's.
This year there were 7 Nostur app store releases and over 36 TestFlight releases, some feature highlights from this year:
- Nostr Nests integration (Live audio spaces)
- Live video streams and chats
- Outbox / Relay Autopilot
- Video uploads
- Top Zaps
- Discover and 😂-feeds
- VPN detection
- Relay connection statistics
I build Nostur by building the features I want and need:

and when they hate you but still want to use your app I know I'm building the right stuff:

Demand for nostr in 2024 and beyond?
We may have gotten some more free speech on Twitter but it's still the same centralized system where you don't own your account and where the platform decides what you get to see. Demand for nostr is similar to demand for bitcoin, every time the alternatives fail it grows, and the alternatives keep failing. nostr just needs to be there and ready, and I will do my part with Nostur.
A few things coming in 2025:
- A big one that was meant for 2024 but didn't make it yet is the multi column desktop version
- Improved import/export: Nostur stores most of your data on your device instead of on public relays, this good for privacy and security but bad for interoperability with other nostr apps. Some data can already be exported easily but in order to be a good nostr-citizen this needs improvement.
- Improved Olas/Picture support
- Better search and filtering in bookmarks
- Finally rename Nostur to... ehh?
- and much more

This is literally the only client I care about. I’m just begging for custom blossom servers!
All this talk of grants makes it feel like this is all a giant DAO
You were totally right! I need to upgrade all my drives to 8TB before I see any benefit
But thankfully the raid is rebuilt!
I just use USB-C earbuds from Apple with my iPhone
EarPods (USB-C)

I just ordered this from Amazon and I’m gonna try it out today so that I can charge and listen at the same time.
nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 the charge&listen adapter works perfect
I have another 4TB laying around just in case, 5 hours left on the rebuild with the 8TB drive, I’m using QNAP so whatever the latest QTS is
