Running 0.1.7 but there's a no amber login button.

That's all I need. I already made the code updates. I'll release it tomorrow. It's chill time now :)

Ok.

I'll work on NOA tomorrow.

I'll double check the download thing and I'll release a Web / PWA version as well so it's easier to share.

It can be a website, also a desktop app.

It's my first multi-platform experiment evolved into something that might be useful.

It's also a signer: as Amber is android only, NOA is already a working destkop signer supporting NIP55 `nostrsigner:` scheme.

Could also be iOS signer with some help...

join.the-nostr also does not answer.

As already shared with many people, I think this is a crucial aspect and I am very happy to work with other people as my time and skill are obviously limited.

NOA has links to a selection of available apps for chat, social network and key management. Directly to app stores 😉

Explanation is kept to minimum: I believe less is more here especially as most nostr content is too focus on stuff that I *think* might scare the user.

Export / download without password should just create a simple text file.

I'll double check. What OS are you using?

Interesting.

Have you tried this? (yes I built)

https://github.com/ildella/noa

Also on zapstore://tools.frankie.nostr.noa

You know that publishing chats or part of a chat, specifically to a relay, is something I have in the backlog for a while.

Javascript is now the most widely use language in the world. This means you get a lot of very low level programmers using it and especially they work for corporates where the choice is led by compliance and brand, not the quality of the product.

So you'll find many "frameworks" of any kind and most are horrible.

But if you know how to navigate it, you can find the one that works and fits your style. More often than not, there is one.

On Dec 24th - last year - I did release NOA, my prototype / attempt to make onboarding to Nostr easy for people that are, you know, normal.

NOA - Nostr Onboarding App, is a multi-platform, desktop and mobile app that lets you create or import Nostr keys, add name/description as Profile, sign-in into other Nostr services by signing requests and finally suggests a few essential apps to install (along with non-google stores for Android).

Today a new release has been pushed: v0.6.0.

It's available on Zapstore and the APK and Linux builds are also available for download here: https://packages.frankie.tools/noa/release/

The source code is here: https://github.com/ildella/noa/packages

Feedback is MOST welcome.

If anyone can help in building the app for Windows, OSX or iOS, please get in touch.

Did you know one can use Frankie GPT as progressive Web app (PWA)?

Less UI clutter than in the standard browser window.

Unfortunately only with browsers based on Chromium. because at Mozilla are having a 3 year long conversation about whether to add that support.

Unfuck advertisement based industries. Reshape them.

I'd say there's a direct correlation with this

We disagree in "fooled". People do what they want and need and are much smarter than we like to believe.

I'm afraid but I don't share what seem to be the common idea of stupid masses. It's a very socialist perspective: "People are good but they (tens of millions) are all easily fooled by a bad guy with a few rich and powerful friends."

I reject this perspective in all of histories, everywhere.

But yeah, the documentary kind of fits and far from me was rejecting it. I just took the opportunity to expand on the topic.

I remember I did see it - or at least part of it - back when it came out.

It was fascinating, but I never understood exactly what was the point and now I get it less than ever.

Yes: civilizations copy each other, they assimilate and mutate other cultures into some new blend that become the new canon, and the cycle repeats. With them same cycle happens to religions and ideologies which are just TOOLS used to achieve power and greatness, never the source of anything.

Yes, there are powerful people and families that work together and lobby for decades and generation to shape the world somehow. Most of the time, they fail. They can lead and manipulate but only if they find the right alliances (in other elite) as well as the proper way to narrate to get the people support. But people are stupid? Maybe, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.

My point is: when I see documentaries like that one, I think that's not a good angle to use to try and interpret what is going on and why. It's not false or anything. Just a way of analysing facts that leads... nowhere.

Following that path - a simplistic example you shall forgive me - one ends up believing that is Donald J. Trump being elected president that made the price of Bitcoin raise last fall.

It's not. It is a "coincidence", or an alignment. We all know that Bitcoin has far deeper root that whoever sit in whatever office, anytime.

Same is for the rest of history. Long term movements belongs to populations. Not in the sense of "power to the people" but that in the end, without those people, nobody goes anywhere.

Napoleon did not invade Russia alone. He managed to have support of France people and half million soldiers walked with him across Europe. You do not do that by scamming people. That's real support. Stupid? Ignorant? Violent? Whatever, but real support.

Clear.

First a quick disclaimer.

Most if not all I say on these topics - geopolitics, history, ethnography etc... is what I try my best to extrapolate studying what other analysts research, analyse and write. Nothing to little is original. But nothing comes from newspapers as well 😉

You already answered yourself. The key word here "fragmentation". But is also "remnant" of an Empire. So it's UK, so is France, so is Germany.

To have geopolitical power and influence, something must be a Subject.

In this game, subjects are Nations, which in this era are mostly Nation-States.

Nations is a people that live together in a specific geographic space for a long enough time and manage stay together, build a country, and with time even a civilization in and of itself.

Hispanics are "just" an ethnicity. It would be like saying "why not Germans"?

Because germans do not exist as a Nation. Germanic people are in many places. US first and dominant ethnic group (since almost 100 years) is still germans (will be hispanics in a not so distant future).

Damn, even Germany itself is not a Nation, but 3 different nations coexisting in one large State. That anomaly is a reality because Germany is not a sovereign country, but has been invaded and conquered in 1945 and is now in the availability of the US.

So, if you want "my" take, the hispanic Nation that will become a major global player a few years/decades down the road, is Mexico.

But that's another story and I'll leave it for another day.

Thanks for reading and for taking time to write.

I apologise but i can't speak or write fluently in Spanish so I'll answer in English but I'm comfortable in reading your Spanish.

What do you mean with "Hispanidad" exactly?

You refer to the number of Hispanics growing in US as citizens? Or if something else, please elaborate. I'm interested in a conversation.

Some 10 days ago I shared with a friend this thought.

"I think there is a dossier in US agencies that covers the possibility for European countries to actually become part of the US, in one way or another. Maybe not literally US States, but more than the fiction we have now. And I think the timespan is the end of this decade.

It's about cultural assimilation, that's been going on for the better part of a century now.

Germany has completely lost direction and purpose, while France, despite its ambitions and efforts, is hitting a wall.

Other Western countries are too old and too weak to do anything that matters. I believe they want someone to take care of them. Eastern countries finally would welcome it, mostly to avoid more problem with Russia.

Empires are built over time. When the Arabs came out of the deserts in the 600s, they did militarily conquer the better part of the 'world' in a few decades, but people did not become Muslim, even in close places like Egypt, for centuries.

We live in a moment of challenged hegemony, where America's rivals are trying to 'speak up.' But not only is the US still the global number one power, as they have their navy and their bases a few kilometers from China, Russia, and Iran, but also America's fundamentals are still stronger than those of their rivals.

I think we're going to see what, historically speaking, is going to be the peak of the Empire. More assimilation of countries that call themselves allies but are, in fact, clientes — in the Latin meaning — if not provinces.

And don't let me start with soft power and other parts of the world. What is current Argentina momentum if not a surrender to US hegemony? Or Evangelical growth against Catholic in Brasil?"

That was it, más o menos.

Now the new administration — not even seated yet — is already talking about taking control of Panama, Greenland, and Canada. This is going to pave the way for Europe in many ways.

Just to be clear: it's not the Trump administration itself that is creating this. It's America's momentum, which is deeply rooted in population and acts through the millions of people working in federal agencies. The administration is part of that, and if the interests match, the process is sped up, which is what we're seeing now. The first Trump administration was in a clash with other federal agencies, and it went as we know. Now they seem much more aligned.

America has decided, and there seems to be nothing that can stop it now.
