🎵Die Gedanken sind frei.

I guess that means my face got stuck in a gay porn filter, or something.

You can't see my pic on #Primal. I'm assuming it's a bug, and not a feature.

It seems to learn along. Also make sure to create your own sytax helper file and store it in the repo, so that it can use it for a reference.

I'm not a dev, but I play one on Nostr.

That test was also nerve-wracking because they have so few places and so many applicants. It's a 90 minute drawing exam.

Thank you! I'll show her your note. 🥰

She has tested into the art secondary school, so next stop is Abitur. 🚀

Celebrating a successful high school exam!

I love looking at the wss://theforest.nostr1.com feed and seeing a bunch of people I actually know having conversations and posting about their daily lives and personal interests.

Community relays are so darned cozy.

Did they disapprove of your choice of emojis, or something? Were you over the legal GM limit?

A lot of people actually really don't like legacy social media and the people who like legacy social media just stay on there because they like it.

That's why I broke my head, implementing it. GRW has a desktop-native version, so that we can integrate local repos, and only Amber works on that, so far. No browser extension in there, but Amber works anywhere.

It's like 1FA.

Yeah, I've never gotten the concept of using relays full of people I don't like.

We are allow-oriented.

* Everyone on the community relays is allowed.

* People on your lists, or events from query results, are also allowed. (We pull those from "fallback" relays.)

* Events from your local relays are also allowed.

That sets the lower-bound for zapvertising.

I might make it npub-specific, with an event (and my config amount as minimum, for spam protection), and display it on the OP:

** Zap-replying to this npub's notes will cost you 21/210/100k sats.**

The novelty is that I let you post notes as zaps, on a relay you normally can't write to. TheForest is closed to any npub who isn't whitelisted, but you can zap your way into the feed.

It's also interesting because people can like, comment on, repost, highlight, or zap your zap. Or report it. 😅 It just looks like a reply.

I've also thought about using zaps to upvote replies, into the zaps list, at the top. Like, cumulate the zaps. Then people could vote for the replies they like best, with money.

I'm experimenting with making zaps more functional, basically.

We have community relays (theforest and thecitadel) and I integrate the person's local relays, and we have a set of non-spammy relays like aggr.nostr.land and nostr.wine, that I use to include npubs that aren't on our relays, but are on someone's lists (I just include all lists, including follow lists, and there's a filter where they can select which ones to include.)

I order the zaps at the top of the thread, with the highest zaps first. So, you can pay to get higher up the list. And subscribers can also do this, otherwise their replies are just below the zaps.

I think I have the lower-bound set to 20 sats, since 21 seems to be a significant number. If there are too many shenanigans, I'll just keep raising the price, until they stop.

By the way, nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl, if I build these relays I'm mentioning after this post it's just because I want them to exist and be tried, not because I'm pre-marketing an existing product. I don't have them built here nor I know of anyone who is working on them.

Well, if you want to premarket my idea with your non-premarketed concept:

We just have a whitelisted (write-protected) relay, but we allow anyone to send zap events. And I've set a sat lower-threshold in the new client that displays the zap comments in the replies, as if it were a kind 1 or 1111 reply, but with a ⚡ icon on it.

So, you can pay-to-respond by putting your message into the zap. We moderate the relay, so if you put something horrendous in the zap message, we delete the event and you lose your money.

The last pope was in the news all the time, talking about saving the planet and the refugees and whatnot. This pope is critical of AI megacorps and gets no press.

nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 I thought it was my app and I had the workflow wrong (which might still be true), but I can't get the Coracle login to work, either.

It sends me one request, after another, until I force-stop the app and clear the cache.

We actually sometimes have international guests, including some who combine it with vacation trips to or through Germany. So, that's always an option.

Bought it.

Inside joke.

I don't. Alexandria hasn't even hit MVP, yet. We'll inform everyone, when the Peak AI has arrived.

It's very hard to make a proper client that doesn't take shortcuts that undermine the entire point, and JavaScript and browsers are a magnitude slower than what a proper native client should be.

Have you tried Gossip?

Still, it should be possible to do reasonable web clients if you buy into the correct architecture and don't try to vibecode the logic.

I still think Coracle is pretty good. Jumble I like too, but I only use it to browse relays directly -- which is a much easier flow to implement than an outbox-powered "following" feed. Recently I'm playing with https://wip.alphaama.com/ and I like the style, it feels fast enough.

But I must reiterate that all of these still feel slow in comparison with a native client, but they do _not_ feel slow in comparison with almost all other websites on the web, everything is crazy slow, including X and centralized platforms. I've basically given up loading websites on my phone.

I wish all these web developers spent a week with a computer and a cell phone that wasn't the best of the best just so they could contemplate their life mistakes.

I agree that the rest of social media is slowing to a crawl, and Internet sites in general are becoming a hot mess, but I refuse to use that as a measure. We have the potential to make highly-performant social media websites, with this tech stack.

I should maybe write an article, explaining how we're doing it. They may not know what I'm even talking about, but even a vibe-coder could feed the AI my article.

I've been using Coracle a lot, but I think it's slowly regressing. It's quite a large project and probably needs at least 20 hours per week in maintenance.

Yeah, I've posted pictures of her, before, and people wondered why I bleached out the pic. 😂

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 todays implementations don‘t convey the „censorship resistant“ well. I often wonder whether the sink received my message.

Apparently, I hit a nerve. 😁

Yeah, they slow everything down. The websockets are really fast, but the clients are so inefficient, that it's frustrating. Drives me up the wall.
