Man checked out the new Publican location in Oak Park and I don't know how I feel about it. I even fell for the 'hey this ham sandwich is only available after 1pm so of course it must be awesome" trick

Just posted this as a comment on Hacker News, but thought it might be a non-horrible idea to also post it here, too.

I'm a recent convert to Nostr. Four things I love about it:

- It's "just" JSON and WebSockets. From a developer's perspective, it's incredibly easy to get started and build interesting things with it. (Like the early days of Twitter.) Which leads to...

- #Nostr culture is tolerant of bots and other automated workflows. (Unlike current management of Twitter)

- Nostr culture is tolerant of search engines. (Unlike fediverse, or at least the Mastodon part, though I appreciate the reasons for that distinction.)

- Built-in micropayment infrastructure with "zaps" and Lightning Network integration enables a ton of interesting new startup idea possibilities.

Two things I don't like about Nostr, the social network. (Not Nostr, the protocol. Those two things are very easily conflated right now):

- Too many Bitcoin bros. (Although personally I don't mind Bitcoin, a thriving platform should have more than one thing to talk about.)

- I haven't been zapped, yet. Still waiting for my big moment! ⚡

DON'T POST CROWD SHOTS OF BITCOINERS ON CONFERENCES WHO DIDN'T GIVE YOU EXPLICIT CONSENT TO INDEX THEIR FACE ON THE INTERNET.

Primal iOS users, we need your input! 🫡

Assuming you’ve already upgraded to the latest 1.2 build, what are your top requests for the next release? Which new features would you like to see in Primal? What are the most annoying bugs that still need to get fixed?

The main problem I still have is that there is no reconnecting WebSocket solution that actually works. To solve it... I restart the server on a cron job. 😃

Somebody’s been using a private TestFlight build of Primal.

Next release will drop in a week or so. 👀👀

Mm. Someone tried to reply to something on a nostr bridge. Is fosstodon allowing that?

Why the hell isn't it Friday

I'm beginning to believe that those who lack imagination are the ones who tend to believe in the dumbest things
