Testing publishing from my new remote signer.
Doesn't look like it. I will send again from Flotilla 😂😭
Oh nice. I figured it must still be in TestFlight because I didn’t see a link at flotilla.social.
Coracle NIP-17 -> noStrudel 😁
Stage 1 done, next is sending NIP-17 messages and then better UI for managing messages

oh, nostrudel doesn't do NIP-17 yet? Is this why nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hasn't replied to my DMs?
⛴️ New Flotilla release: 1.2.0
This release introduces push notification support on web, android, and ios — this was the last big item to check off before considering Flotilla "normie friendly!"
A lot of the work this release went into refining https://github.com/coracle-social/anchor with support for push notifications. Anchor is sort of a Frankenstein of an application, but might be of interest for anyone hoping to add push notification support to their nostr app — just update the .env file with your FCM and APN details and it should "just work". A NIP that describes the data flow is in review here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1796
Also in this release is a new space dashboard, complete with a quick summary of recent conversations — hopefully this works to sidestep Slack's "Threads" tab monstrosity of a design pattern.
Full changelog below:
* Fix sort order of thread comments
* Fix link display when no title is available
* Fix making profiles non-protected
* Replace bunker url with relay claims for notifier auth
* Add push notifications on all platforms
* Add "mark all as read" on desktop
* Re-design space dashboard
Next up: zaps, better member lists, and of course lots of usability testing.
oooh, how do i get ios app
Promenade by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8g2lcy6q and frostr by nostr:nprofile1qqsyy2wzruqsr27rhfzjx0shd6t4l20xwxa33fnj900hwf46y4z9l7gwlvtz8 and Austin might be helpful on the technical side. I like the idea of aligning key storage with existing trust relationships a lot.
Yes! Thanks for the reqs. I have played with both of them, I think frostr explictly has the key recovery feature but I couldn't get it to work. But I should go a level deeper on checking them out.
So I've been fascinated by Shamir's secret key sharing algorithm for several years, and I'm pretty convinced that self sovereign identity, while cool, is not actually the best option for decentralized social networks. Especially the incarnation of self-sovereign identity that relies on you keeping a secret, and also that secret must be stored on a computer.
Like instead fully custodial or non-custodial keys I would rather my friends and family being the ultimate authority on which key is mine. I would do this with my Bitcoin wallet and other keys but *especially* my Nostr key because Nostr is a social network, so the real value is in the social connections we have on here. So in the worst failure mode where all my friends and family betray me and steal my identity... my social network is already dead.
There was a group of folks who built a tool for breaking your key into shards and backing it up your peers on Secure Scuttlebutt several years back (https://darkcrystal.pw/). I've always wanted a version of it for Nostr and now that I'm a free agent I'm going to give it a shot. If you're interested in helping or trying it out when it's ready let me know in a reply or DM.
DWeb Camp is in Canada this year. Will I see any of you there? https://dwebyvr.org/camp/
I did this in Planetary.social and it worked most of the time. Both Android and iOS have “silent” notifications that give you some background execution time.
If you are checking socials because your internet things are broken, you are not alone. Google Cloud is basically down. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/d0a1ffb8761b974cec4a3be8cbcb2e96a7090dcf465ffeac839aa4ca20c9a59e/c8abf222e861065d20fbfcfff3c0f863de1bc15b56beb58baeb4fd4f447d3ddb.webp
oh goodie
Ooh, I would love to hear your thoughts on that book. I have heard so many good things about it and I started it but it didn’t finish.
Thanks nostr:npub1g8h2agg8tj820uzpuqmsl9kdcjcr46ztw0pwtyjmc6rc6rv4xtns4mjhqh, that means a lot!
It's been about 1 month since I started my solopreneurship journey aiming to do six product experiments in six months. I launched https://spoilerfree.gg about 10 days ago and have been monitoring the metrics on it since then. So far I haven't met my target of a 5% conversion rate, so I'm moving onto the next thing! I wrote some rough notes about it on my weblog. If you have any advice, thoughts, or questions I'd love to discuss! https://mattlorentz.com/weblog/2025/05/27/spoiler-free-gg-retro.html
Last week I wrapped up my employment with nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 and the gang at Verse Communications. Over the past 3 years I got to work on https://planetary.social, https:/nos.social, and more recently a communities-focused social app codenamed Plur. Working to build healthier social media with such a diverse team and community was such a transformative opportunity for me, and I'm sure I'll always look back on it as an inflection point.
For now I'm taking some time to work on my own projects. Probably not Nostr-related for starters, but I’ll share more when there is more to share :)
Maybe I will reach the same conclusion. At the very least I suppose it can stop websites from bugging me about setting them up.
Hm, I don’t see an option for it in the UI, but if you self-host bitwarden you can back up the whole db.
