Anybody familiar with this practice of "articulating a problem in spoken or written natural language".
A programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line by line, to the duck

That's so cool!
#GM, #nostr. I don't wanna get up today... 😭😭😭😭
I did see a Nostr job app client out there. It didn't seem very popular but I don't know. There's at least one.
Yeah, I would think save in browser cache first and then sync periodically via nostr events. Maybe publish an event either every X minutes of if the user closes our of the app.
And this doesn't have to ne for books published on Nostr. Got to be mindful of copyright and not screw the authors over. But if you highlight something and make that public it could send that out as a quote.
The app could even end the quote with something like an Amazon affiliate link to jelp fund the app.
I'm confused. Are you talking about a browser bookmark? I don't think those save scroll positions, do they? Also, those won't sync to e-ink readers.
You're right. That's what jappens when one surface-reads and relies on punctuation. 😔
Oooooooooo! 👀👀👀👀
Time to hack reality again.
Welcome to freedom!
Yeah, but good luck getting those in another country when it gets banned in yours. I know it's not impossible but it's VERY VERY HARD. I tried when Tiktok got banned for a bit. Also, you shouldn't be forced to go through these hoops. There should be other methods of id (anon ones) and phone should be OPTIONALAL for those who wish to use it. There is ZERO need for a phone ID for an app that operates on the Internet. In fact, requiring a phone is sus af as far as possible intentions go.
nostr:nprofile1qqs06gywary09qmcp2249ztwfq3ue8wxhl2yyp3c39thzp55plvj0sgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7rjgp95 , I know you guys are working on some ebook related Nostr thing. Can it, potentially, solve this? Let's say e-ink reader and the mobile apps let you log in with Nostr and subscribe to the same relays. As you read, special events are generated with your reading progress in a particular book. Cross-platform sync achieved!

Why are people still using APS like #Signal and #Telegram? They are inherently unsafe because they relay on highly identifiable and localized identifiers like phone numbers. #Anonymity, or an option thereof, is IMPARATIVE to #privacy. These services leave you vulnerable to 1) their creators being forced to reveal your private info under duress (Telegram) and being made unavailable in your geographical area (Signal). Both relay on your literal phone number for you to #identify yourself.
GOOD! I dance on its grave. Apple was inventing new hardware not to solve problems but to enrich itself through proprietary patents, inconvenienceing its users in the process and making them paymoren money than they needed to. I'm so glad the EU forced them to drop that shit.
There is a #marketNeed for a way to #sync #reading progress between #e-ink #e-readers and #mobile apps (why not add computers into the mix too?) combined with good usability and ability to 100% own and control your #ebooks. Also one they doesn't rely solely on proprietary, corporate-owned cloud services like #GoogleCloud or #DropBox.
As a user, I should be able to pick up where I left off reading no matter which hardware I am using or last used. I should be able to host all of the needed services (as far as storage goes) myself. I should own my #books and be able to have them in any of the popular formats like epub, mobile, or PDF. I should NOT have to go through pain and suffering to do this (*eyes koreader*).
#Kindle let's you sync but you do not own the #books
#Kobo will not let you sync unless you buy the books from them (and do you own them or just renting it from them like on kindle?)
#Readera and other #ereaders apps I've found: no ereader support. Relies on google cloud.
#Calibre: can't really sync progress.
#Koreader: HORRIBLE usability. Pretty much useless (at least on Android can't see 90% of my epubs (which I exported with calibre)
Are you a #softwareDeveloper or #appDevelpoer will solve this #problem? Please do. Because if you don't, I might eventually)
