Yeah, and also performance is not going to be great if it's JS based, but I think the phone performance has been getting much better recently that we may be hitting the point where it becomes reasonable.
If this would be actually made as a full OS, maybe all the bindings could be made accessible to the browser via some autogenerated JS API.
Here's an idea. What about creating an phone operating system that is fully based on PWAs?
As soon as you boot it, it shows homepage that feels like https://www.nostrnet.work/ or Umbrel, but it would also have the basics, like calendar, contacts, email, etc. There could be some space for interesting protocols (like deliver the apps in .zip files including signatures).
The benefits would be
- there's already rich ecosystem of web apps
- releases are not limited by App stores
- development is faster and easier (large community of React devs, etc)
- better UX (web devs have the most UX expertise)
Maybe there's a way to do this first as alternative "Android launcher", where the launcher would just run a browser in it anyway?

The signature YOLO move! 😂
I bet there were all sorts of variants of this experience because there's just something fun and interesting about it.
Do you guys remember using DC++ back in the day? The Direct Connect network? It was really interesting experience. People would just share their folders with movies, music, books, games or whatever and you were free to browse the folders and pick files that you liked and download them.
This gave you a peek into someone's tastes, into someones personality. Often you would find folder like "top songs" and if your taste matched the taste of the other person you would get the other songs too. The browsing was part of the fun. DC essentially moved the experience from connecting our PCs with ethernet cables at LAN parties to the internet and online world.
Would it be possible to ever get experience like this on Nostr? The solutions like shared playlists on Tidal seem still really centralized. There was some beauty about using random protocols to have fun.

If the mixes happen every 5 seconds, then there can be at most 64 ark providers and only if there are no other transactions in the mempool. Were there any improvements since Miami?
Welcome back! 🫂
It turns out there are three things you can't do in virtual reality! You are not allowed to die, you are not allowed to get grounded and you can't call customer service! 🤔😳
Anyone can make any handle. There is no way to ensure name uniqueness in this type of decentralized network. The only approach is to connect to existing some authority (like nip-05 with DNS) or use a web of trust (only friends of friends...) or some form of ranking.
Have you tried playing Doom on that stick?
Cats know how to break spacetime continuum. Sometimes you see a cat switch into a crazy mode without (apparent) reason and then switch normal again... that's one of those cases.
The initial version of the Nostr calendar is almost ready and will be available on NostrNet today. I made it more mobile responsive, I will keep improving it in coming days.
nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn has already done extraordinary work on it, it's very easy to use and works great.
Give those borders a bit less opacity, like #333 and it's perfect!
nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z experience issues reports above 😉
?name=photo_9900%4022-04-2021_14-36-46.jpgReminds of that one time I was called to principals office for (allegedly) dealing crack. No, I was not.
I have exactly (!!!) the same experience and the same reaction. Ultimately I try getting the npub from primal, but then I'm worried I'm pasting it wrong (is it "nostr:"? Does it matter?)
