Testing photo upload from Nos…

This is exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for putting it together!

Surfing?

nostr:npub1uaajg6r8hfgh9c3vpzm2m5w8mcgynh5e0tf0um4q5dfpx8u6p6dqmj87z6 designed them for Nos and I almost had them implemented at the #nostrica hackathon, but then we got distracted. Here’s a clickable prototype: https://www.figma.com/proto/s0qf4VmyQygydP8MIQazZc/Nos?page-id=703%3A8554&node-id=703-8698&scaling=scale-down&starting-point-node-id=703%3A8555&t=u03DcmNPNW8auYHz-1

What is NFDn?

Wow I’m glad to hear it’s comfortable. I thought we were still a few years away from high resolution in that form factor. I wish I could try one in person somewhere.

And help us make it sustainable for you through zaps, submitting content, etc! I’ve seen a lot of people burn out of this sort of unpaid journalistsic endeavor.

Here’s a transcript of an edition of The Weekly, to give an idea (it’s raw markdown tho):

> It is a new SSB client of sorts. It is not exactly a client but a version of Lua 5.3 that contains an embedded SSB client inside it. It was built by picking #sbotc by @cel and grafting #lua into it.

It's still very early stages and there's lots of geeky stuff in the post for those who are curious.

### Summary Data

This week’s summary was curated from 403 threads by 135 authors by [@masukomi](@LzTjF5eAVC6xprPMGeNzqEP/EEBIGpM6hDaaY10hrz8=.ed25519), **with the support of my lovely patrons**. If you'd like to help continue this creation you can [become a patron on Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/the_weekly).

(Additionally I would love to see an adjacent non-technical non-bitcoin weekly summary of some of the most interesting posts. It’s great for people who don’t open Nostr every day or every week. I used to keep up with happenings on Secure Scuttlebutt through an account like this, called The Weekly)

Awesome, Greg! Personally I have trouble keeping up with: newly merged or hot topic NIPs, major features or apps being released (not every release of everything, but big things like the recent curated community spec). Maybe if there’s not much going on in a week spotlighting an existing tool that people love might be nice. Sometimes things get released and then I never hear about them again, it’s hard to know what people are finding useful over longer periods of time.

I'd be willing to pay for something like this. The NostrReport is good but I'd appreciate something on a weekly or monthly basis too.

Trying the kagi.com search engine today. ChatGPT has mostly replaced Google for programming questions for me over the past couple months. Google search seems to just keep getting worse and worse for my use case, and I already use DuckDuckGo for non-programming searches. I’ve heard several people talk about how good the Kagi results are in the past few weeks. Apparently their ranking algorithm penalizes sites with lots of adds, which cuts down on a lot of the garbage spam/AI generated results that Google shows. Does anyone here use Kagi?

Hah, typing “x.com” into Safari’s address bar just searches for the string. You have to type “https://x.com” to get to Twitter. I thought I read that one of the internet founders bought all the 1 and 2 letter domain names so no corporation could own a letter of the alphabet. Does anyone know what happened to that?

Not yet! Choosing your home feed algorithm will definitely be a feature we bring at some point, but we haven't brought it over from Planetary yet. I'm a fan of chronological order as well (and feed offset syncing between devices).

New release out with proper link previews! Now we show the same Open Graph Protocol previews that app like iMessage display. Enjoy! Full release notes:

- Added link previews for urls in notes.

- Added Dutch, Japanese, and Persian translations. Thanks matata, yutaro, and eru-desu!

- Add a loading placeholder for note contents.

- Fixed several crashes.

Apple makes sure that PWAs are a inferior experience on iOS. But they will always be at a performance disadvantage compared to native code on any OS because browsers are essentially their own operating systems and that comes with a lot of overhead. Fundamentally they have to do extra work to keep the host operating system safe from malicious websites whereas native code is assumed to be trusted. Kind of like trying to run a video game in VirtualBox, it just won’t run as smoothly.

Nostr is a pretty wasteful protocol in terms of resources which compounds the problem. But that’s not to say we can’t have fast Nostr PWAs. It’s just going to take more effort to get there.

This is a great article from someone I met at #dwebcamp2023 that does a good job capturing the DWeb ethos and talks about how we can continue collaborating now that its over.

I especially love the "Decentralization of the Tech Stack" she drew up. It touches on my favorite part about this year's DWeb camp, which was learning a lot from projects that are much stronger in the "People, Norms, and Relationships" and "Governance" layers of the stack than Nostr and most other decentralized social protocols.

I don't care much either way either. Although showing a feed of the content you already decided you don't want to see seems like a weird feature to me. I think nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn is using 10,000 in Coracle and nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk is using it in Iris because I was testing Nos's mute functionality with those the the other day. But Damus doesn't appear to be nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s.

Pick me!
