Exploring and writing on Nostr | Building BIG JOHN | Founder https://www.dog-house.ie | Nostr Writer Plugin https://github.com/jamesmagoo/nostr-writer

I've had this vague vision of a new way to explore music & lyrics for a number of years. I always remember sitting at my desk-job in Boston in 2016 and, out of the blue, this strong intuition just hit me that I needed to make something related to lyrics. I didn't know how to build it then, or even what that idea fully was - but it always stayed with me. It was an uncanny feeling at time. And it stayed with me for years untouched. I've since learned the value of following gut feelings and non-obvious ideas. This vision is still unclear, but I want to explore and see what emerges. Nostr helped me connect the dots, and I now realise it is the only place this idea could ever be built and explored - what a strange serendipity. 🌌💜

I want stargazr.xyz to be like genius.com - but way better. Nostr makes it all happen: zaps for value4value, social effects for fans & artists, highlights and comment functionality already built-in, ownership & independence for artists.

Getting into the culture is a way to purple-pill the masses. I imagine a scenario where somebody joins stargazr for their favourite artists lyrics, realises there are other great clients for different things, and falls down the purple rabbit-hole, along with all their friends 🤩 Let's see 😁

Reading “The Fiat Standard” and listening to nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak this week. Exceptional explanations helping me improve my understanding of money, fiat systems, and economics. Brilliant!

Before, I thought I understood Bitcoin and why its such an important innovation. Now I realise how shallow my understanding of the problem (hard money) was. I also didn’t fully realise what a clown-world we live in (fiat) 😅 🤡

Thanks for giving me a renewed appreciation for this Godsend money technology we call Bitcoin🙏🏼⚡️

No the file will be untouched. If you remove the tag the Nostr note won’t have that tag in its metadata that clients use to categorise content. All ‘under the hood’ I guess

Tags will be editable in v1.4.0 of Obsidian Nostr writer plugin - add and remove as you like! Will be available to download on Friday 🫡

Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive

2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009

✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)

✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth

✅ it *should* preserve embedded images

✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:

So good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Once I’ve got it to production standard it’d be great to start getting artists to publish and share their lyrics on Nostr! It works now but it’s just a prototype! I’ll give you a DM 😃
