Not all that active, but has done a lot of design work.

Very good :-) Indeed, I like to submit an “Issue” (in this case a Feature request) to gauge your own feedback and ideas before working on the PR to address that Issue.

Hey Nostr, I’m a little overextended right now finishing up the nostr:npub1p0wer69rpkraqs02l5v8rutagfh6g9wxn2dgytkv44ysz7avt8nsusvpjk app mvp. Any web designers/devs want to give me a hand with the website? I have www.proofofworkout.io

Bonus if you can help with some of the creative (logo, banner, etc). Happy to pay in sats for your work! #asknostr

You have feature requests on your repo now ;-)

Aaaaaaah. That’s was to write your nPub to an NFC badge for in-persons zaps :-) Had forgotten about that. The PR is still there somewhere ;-)

What are you using to query it? Have been trying Open Web AI and Deepseek, but it seems to perform a search / query rather that have overall understanding of the content (even though it builds a vector DB).

Presenting... 📚 https://bookstr.xyz, a simple Goodreads alternative built on Nostr!

This is an extremely basic prototype that only barely works (user beware!). However, I think it highlights what is amazing about building on Nostr. I was inspired by this post, and then able to build a client in 3 days almost entirely with AI.

The opportunity to bridge social behavior with "other stuff" (in this case, books via Open Library API) is huge. This concept could work for any type of content, not just books. Music, Movies and TV, games, etc. — all on Nostr.

The process of building on Nostr with AI also demonstrated a few gaps in the ecosystem where AI-ready tools were missing or failing, so there is definitely opportunity to grow there.

Shout out nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj76r9de5x7atnv5h8xmmrd9skctmjv4kxz7gqyqzxrl97e3xrxazrnyeddw83zf5uekmue9e667js4cmzmvf4536d6qvllke who had many of these ideas first, helped me with lots of the Nostr event specifics, and solved a couple bugs!

Overall, I'm extremely impressed by what can be done with AI on Nostr and all the doors this will open! I'm excited to keep working on this. #bookstr #GrowNostr #AI #Nostr

Super cool. What paper ink devices can you use that work with this?

Tap-to-pay with CashuBTC ecash — for bitcoin.

Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere.

I always wanted that for Bitcoin.

Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.

In the video: two Cashu wallets for bitcoin.

Left: nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzpveml85hk78n2622qtnthmuwwuzexuly9v9gtf3lykjsa076magdkt6tav (PoS)

Right: cashu.me (payer)

Ecash is sent directly via NFC — no internet, no delay. Beep, boop.

Ecash is a bearer token — the money lives on your device, not on a server. That’s why it pairs so well with NFC. Pick an amount, tap to send. No talking to servers. No syncing. Just push it over. The payment is pretty much instant. A PoS can accept ecash from any mint and receive payments via Lightning.

Still early days, but we’re experimenting. Card-to-phone works, but phone-to-phone? That’s the real killer use case.

Apple famously locks down the iPhone’s NFC chip — good monopolist.

F*k that. I found a workaround.

As long as one phone (ideally the PoS) is Android, you can send data both ways between iPhone and Android.

(You don’t really own your iPhone.)

Peace!

Very interesting - sparked my interested in ecash. Apparently the EU are forcing Apple to open NFC up? That and USB-C is about the only good thing the EU have done :-)

Didn’t know that was a thing in Uvita :-) Well done! Water looks surprisingly clear!

Will try feeding it images and see what happens.

Waiting for a really good tool that can take Figma designs and create truly responsive and factored code.
