Presenting... đź“š 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.

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
this is awesome.
any insights into your dev flow?
remove yourself from the equation
many people spend all their energy fixated on others in avoidance of ever looking at themselves
you have a lot of exposure to the public and therefore have a high chance of being preyed upon by these individuals
trying to work things out with them is noble and courageous
but unless healing the core wounds of all those that got triggered by you is your ultimate intention for the use of your energy
i would practice disconnecting yourself from the person they think they're talking to
opportunity to orange pill a beginner here. how can I use a debit card to buy bitcoin and not leave a trail back to that card?
