"Just as liberalism discusses and negotiates every political detail, so it also wants to dissolve negotiation, a cautious half measure, in the hope that the definitive dispute, the decisive bloody battle, can be transformed into a parliamentary debate and permit the decision to be suspended forever in an everlasting discussion."
- Carl Schmidt
Public schools use laptops instead of desktops so that tech companies can addict kids earlier, and leftists can indoctrinate kids more effectively

If you haven't read Building Nostr because for some reason a full book is too scary, I have good news for you: I am re-publishing excerpts from the book as standalone blog posts.

Coracle v0.6.19 just dropped — just another maintenance issue, but I did completely re-work the NWC integration, thanks to nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9uq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dxyhxucn09eskuempde5jucm09uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqgetal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqwr477f's nwc sdk library. Currently, there's no option to pay invoices with a QR code; if that's annoying, let me know and I'll bring it back.
Changelog:
* Improve relay hint reliability
* Enable DMs on conversation link
* Improve feed parent fetching
* Remove profile banners
* Add better mute support
* Mute privately by default
* Broadcast user relays when publishing
* Aggresively refresh user data before updating to reduce race conditions
* Add NWC wallet management
* Re-work zaps

Is someone linking directly to coracle for npubs somewhere? I'm seeing a ton of traffic the last week or two for the profile page.
I'm flattered, but loading up Coracle just for a profile page is very inefficient and it's costing a lot of bandwidth.
When designing a cross-platform mobile app, how important is it to use material/hig conventions? I am unable to find much support for react native UI libraries that render differently depending on platform — most seem to have a single look on both platforms. But doesn't this undermine UX patterns that rely on platform-specific idioms? I'm super confused about this.
One thing you guys didn't really touch on is that neuralink would not actually disintermediate thought at all, any more than uploading our brains into the cloud would result in anything more than merely simulated consciousness. Rather, human thought would be reduced to a data transfer protocol (instead of spoken language), and would take on the form and limitations of the same — meanwhile, neuralink itself would have access to your thoughts, and would no doubt monetize it for its own benefit.
New Flotilla 1.0.3 is out on zapstore and web with a crucial bugfix to the alerts system (pointing at localhost is apparently a non-starter, thanks to nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgjwaehxw309ahx7um5wf6k2tnrdakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qqszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fg3tpr34 for pointing this out). Also included are a light theme, custom emoji display, and some bugfixes.
* Add light theme
* Use correct alerts server
* Ignore relay errors for claims
* Fix inline code blocks
* Add custom emoji parsing and display
I've been a nostr developer too long. I built Anchor as a single codebase with a front end and a database, and I keep being confused as to why I have different subscriptions on different deployments 😂
