That makes sense no clue how I missed that. Thank you!

Built a small dead man’s switch on nostr. Frontend-only so browser has to be open.

Posts to 5 relays simultaneously if you don't check back in. Uses keys designed for one-time use and type 0 and type 1 nostr events.

I started with Codename Goose for the base files, then kept refining. Normal Claude chats were also a huge help.

First time building anything like this and just did it for fun. I’m sure there’s plenty that could be improved. Open source on Guthub.

Honestly, I never would’ve tried if it weren't for the community on nostr and being inspired by the builders here and the cool projects I’ve seen shipped.

Tagging a few folks whose work inspired me.

Built a small frontend-only dead man’s switch on Nostr using kind 0 and 1 events.

Built it with newcomers in mind. Wanted the UX to be clear without watering things down. Just a hobby project, but it got me thinking how future Nostr apps might need to find the balance between staying true to the protocol and guiding newcomers so they don’t give up.

Shakespeare has been helpful. I’ve used it to brainstorm nostr ideas and get a better feel for the fundamentals. Just shipped a small hobby project and it helped me get a better perspective.

Asking it about certain NIP integrations, etc.

Maybe it’s just me, but it does feel like discoverability on nostr is harder than other social media platforms. If someone doesn’t already have an established follower base, it can be hard to grow a community

Definitely a little discouraging for new comers, but still love it here

If Spark stablecoin payments gain traction, will routing fees for Lightning node operators match those from Taproot Asset transactions or standard Lightning payments, or is the fee model fundamentally different?

May be a dumb question but something I was thinking about.

Oasis reunion in Chicago.

Sound as great as ever.

Been playing around with Shakespeare and it’s pretty insightful. I’ve just been asking nostr integration questions and it’s giving detailed answers. Fun for brainstorming

nostr:nprofile1qqs8sxs4yuz47axp7uprpugrs3sfkdz5379tdg9xe2n5qfvz070a4egprdmhxue69uhkwmr9v9ek7mnpw3hhytnyv4mz7un9d3shjqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgzaq60d

My new take on the sats vs bitcoin debate. What if we just call it “B”. Literally the sound /b/

Square's marketing shows the ₿ symbol in their POS systems and it looks clean. But calling 25,000 sats “bitcoin” is confusing. Most people still hear “bitcoin” and think full coins. That disconnect creates friction.

“Sats” doesn’t help either. It pulls away from the mainstream bitcoin brand makes it harder than it needs to for newcomers.

So why not “25,000 B” when talking and when written ₿25,000? One syllable. Lines up with Bitcoin branding. Easy to say and easy to write. We just use the ₿ when written. I started intuitively doing this while writing about Lightning and started thinking in B. It makes sense.

Still pretty new here, so tagging a few people so this gets seen. Curious what people think. Thanks!

All that’s left is the Nostr sticker.

A few fries couldn’t hurt

Also I’m new to Nostr so any good follow recommendations would be appreciated. 🫶
