Here's the list of my possible GMs 😏
https://github.com/bordalix/pinlink/blob/master/create.sh#L3
It's been a month since I ressurected the GM relay - a GM only relay. Within this month it collected 229 GM notes.
Rules are simple - one GM per person a day.
One can get useful information like your GM count, people with most GMs etc. via nostr:nprofile1qqsydm572clx9mfz5hqa2g3vxlc5a9w4wndk6wd6q9eaen0v3cgzuxcpzamhxue69uhhwmm59eehwctjd4ehgu3wvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7zlnsw5.
Feed at https://jumble.social/relays/wss%3A%2F%2Fgmrelay.space%2F
I haven't seen much interest but I'd like to keep the relay running for another month or two. I could add a leaderboard and maybe reward GM strikes with bagdes.
Let me know what you think. Do you like the idea? Did you even hear about it?
I'd rather focus my energy on something of value to people instead of something I believe is "cool" but noone wants it.
I want to add my automated GM notes to your relay, but I have a question: do you accept GMs in different languages?

React has changed, your Hooks should too - Matt Smith
React Hooks have been around for years, but most codebases still use them the same way: a bit of useState, an overworked useEffect, and a lot of patterns that get copy-pasted without much thought. We’ve all been there.
