I did have trouble typing after the arabic. It was inserting characters in the middle of the arabic text. I have never tried typing in a right-to-left language on iOS but I’m assuming that isn’t normal? Or maybe it is because my keyboard is still English which is left-to-right.

I havent tested that specifically but let’s try. Does the below look correct to you?

Some english here that i will google translate into arabic.

Oh I thought it was happening in Nos. That’s the app Evan and I work on.

I might be able to help with that. Could you attach a screen recording or screenshot of this happening?

Ok this feels like a “think about passkeys again in 6 months” situation. Thanks for being a guinea pig.

One of the most exciting things to happen at nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch lately is the addition of nostr:npub1ey39gym4zlppcsvquqhv0cujnsn6uwuu9z9f4sxkzp5vjy8gfa9sprdq23to the team as our Chief Product Officer! She’s looking for folks to be part of a user research pool to answer questions about their social media usage and help us co-build Nos.

Wow, looks like I found a bug in Nos 😆. Our new CPO is nostr:npub1ey39gym4zlppcsvquqhv0cujnsn6uwuu9z9f4sxkzp5vjy8gfa9sprdq23

So I just switched back to Firefox last week and it says I have clicked Primal 5 times and a bunch of others less than that which I guess is probably true. But when I went back to Safari which I was using previously there wasn’t anything in localStorage. Was this feature added recently?

Like it’s keeping track of which buttons I’ve clicked on the site? I definitey don’t use Primal the most.

I just came across this newsletter to personal podcast service https://jellypod.ai as i thought it might be useful way to not fall behind on newsletters.

Something like that would work for long form nostr posts too. Thoughts?

I think someone has made a Nostr DVM to do this.

Starting to play with decentralized trust ranking in Spring v0.12.

You can estimate, adjust and publish trust scores for other users - these are estimated from your recent interactions.

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 has been advocating the TrustNet as a web of trust implementation, useful for spam filtering etc.

The algorithm has two steps - first, each user publishes 'trust assignments' - that's trust scores your can now publish with Spring. These are published as 10629 replaceable events with a list of 'p' tags and a score, typical size will probably be ~100 pubkeys. We provide an estimate based on past interactions, but it can't be precise - you may and should adjust it to match your actual relationships.

The second step is that apps can download trust assignments of users close to your network (contacts, people you like/zap a lot etc) and run a calculation akin to PageRank, but it's not global - it's local to your network. The result will be several thousand pubkeys with non-zero trust ranks - a much wider network of users who could be trusted.

This way the trust ranking is a) based on everyone's actual relationships, because you can adjust the trust scores you're publishing, and b) efficient and can be used by any app - it just needs to download several hundred trust score lists and run the trustnet algo periodically and store results in local cache.

Spring only does step one at the moment. When enough people publish their trust assignments we will add the second step and let you calculate your own trust ranks. Spring will show the trust ranks under profiles, and will use it for spam filtering later. Other apps will probably find other uses for it.

More on TrustNet here: https://cblgh.org/trustnet/

I’m excited for this! Let me know how I can help test, although my Android device is out of commission at the moment. Also if you want to get in touch with cblgh I’m happy to make an introduction.

Oh sweet. I already use Bitwarden. Have you tried the passkey support?

Should I be using passkeys on my Apple devices when websites offer it? I’ve heard they are good (basically public key crypto) but I’ve also heard that the way Apple and Google are implementing them promotes ecosystem lock-in. Does anyone know if it’s easy/possible to move a passkey from an Apple device to a non-Apple one? CC nostr:npub1g2jpj7x9rjcqd9dp3hnvja2tjr3q3hf362z3ulrfzpyfnsdw5qlqyayjj6 I feel like you might know about this.
