It also works on the newer Macs if you have one of those.

My colleague #[5]​ is implementing NIP-27 in Nos today :) but that note was authored from Iris, because Nos doesn’t do mentions at all yet 😭 so I will bounce this request to #[6]​.

Just deployed another Nos build. The exciting part of this one is translation into Simplified Chinese by #[0]. We are now we are set up for translations into other languages as well. If you want to contribute you can do so at https://crowdin.com/project/nossocial and if you don't see your language there send me a DM and I'll add it!

#[0] hey your profile pic is being served over HTTP and Tim Apple doesn't approve.

Related: I don't think I have ever interacted with any internet system where I use so many apps to work with the same data as I do on Nostr. I'm using Nos for dogfooding and the 2-hops algo, Iris for zaps and reposts on desktop, Damus for the same on mobile, Gossip for reading long threads, Satellite for vibes/aesthetic/typography. On scuttlebutt we have many clients too, but there isn't the same number or diversity and the fact that you couldn't share your identity across all of them makes it painful to switch.

Can't tell if trying to be edgy or trying to be troll. Elon level: 8/10

Ah cool, this is more interesting than just showing the people that got the most likes or zaps or whatever, as that list probably doesn’t change as often.

And btw, the stats from our new API are visible on https://nostr.band too.

Here are Jack's stats:

And here are some numbers on Gigi's recent post:

More numbers and lists and graphs coming to Nostr.Band from the new infrastructure that we launched recently. Stay tuned 😉

P.S. Try the API here https://api.nostr.band

Wow I have never seen any of the people on the trending people page before. I kind of like that the network is big enough that I’m already existing in a corner. How is that list calculated?

We can’t spell BUGS without U, especially in Open Source culture 🐞🙇🏽… here’s the latest update on the #Nostropical Hackathon’s Community Voting winner.

Because we conducted the vote transparently on Nostr some users were able to check our work and found different results for the winner. After triple-checking with community members, we indeed found & regret an error in our initial tabulation and announced the winner of the Community Vote. See the image below for the updated correct tabulation.

As noted here…

https://iris.to/note1gct35x084r3l5elv0xyr88v6qc0mn2shcxyyaqdsdngl9h5fa2cqyrgtx6

… it was a neck-and-neck two-way race between:

NostrFollower by #[0]

and Incognito by #[1] #[2] & #[3]

We want to make this right for both teams. So we *added* a Community Vote prize award for 2nd place!

Here’s the correct tabulation for the Community Vote:

1st Place: Incognito - 25,000,000 sats

2nd Place: NostrFollower - 12,500,000 sats

We are sorry for the error, and we are very grateful to this open transparent software culture!

Congrats to both 1st and 2nd place award Community Vote winners!

So yeah, the U in BUGS is me. Just wanted to personally apologize for the error. It was a really stupid error and I several lessons about how to do this better in the future. For anyone who is curious, the specific bug is that I counted votes as "kind 7 events where any etag references this note" when it should have been "kind 7 events where *the last* etag references this note". The script I used to calculate the events is published here for auditing and in case anyone else wants to try a voting process like this in the future.

In a weird way though I think this is a great example of how transparency and open systems are superior. We decided to do our community vote in the open on Nostr which hadn't been done before. Because the data was public nobody had to take our word for it and it let to the correct outcome in the end. I will be much more careful next time sats are on the line, but I'm going to keep dogfooding and learning at the bleeding edge of what Nostr can do! Thank you for being gracious #[1].

hm ok, this was supposed to be a reply to #[3]. I either misunderstood the gossip UI or it was a bug.

Just a quick Nos update. I just pushed a beta build with some performance improvements and crash fixes. Sorry the updates have been so slow the last week! Partly it's because I took some time off after Nostrica. Partly it's because I've been doing a lot of code cleanup after our mad rush to stuff as many features into Nos before Nostrica 😅 I think we have a good plan now to fix the scroll hitches, jumping around, and just general jankiness of browsing the various feeds in Nos. There are so many cool features we can't wait to add but first we have to eat our development vegetables so to speak 🥦.

Got you! Pass it on! Maybe to #[5]?
