Fold has disappointed me, but at the same time when bitcoin eventually reaches about 2.5 mil, every purchase ive made with my fold card will have its value entirely paid back to me in the 1% btc rewards. On a long enough time frame, everything I buy is free
I'll try later tonight and up the bribe lol At least if I can get her to download Amethyst then downloading the wallet likely won't be too much for her to give up lmao
Just as my kids mom placated me by telling me she supposedly owns some bitcoin, I feel challenged to onboard her to nostr lol
Concerning how often I see nostr being built compared to email considering how that ended up one of the most centralized parts of our modern internet (aside from DNS). At least worse case scenario, we get decentralized identities in use in a pretty privacy preserving and sovereign way
First glance: All I can think is, "here it comes." This is great
Please welcome Spring - the nostr browser.
This is the first public Android release, we're submitting to the Play Store, but an APK is ready for you to try: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/releases/download/v0.1.0/spring-nostr-browser-v0.1.0.apk
The app is open source: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/
We believe this category of a Nostr-specific browser is a very powerful tool for all the nostriches and bitcoiners. It takes the experience of using Nostr micro-apps to the next level, and should help accelerate the adoption of non-social Nostr use cases.
Some screenshots are here:
If you hesitate to paste your nsec into the app, we totally get it - just use your (or someone else's) npub to log in and look around. However, if you do add your real keys - those are handled by a separate library, stored in an encrypted form and protected by the Android keystore, inaccessible to any JS code, immune to XSS or app-level bugs.
What you can do today:
- add nsec keys or npubs, switch between keys
- browse various interesting events on the homepage - trending stuff, suggested profiles, big zaps, highlights, long posts, live streams, nostr web apps
- open any event in any web app that supports this event kind and has been published on nostr using NIP-89
- open/close/hide the browser tabs, grouped by app/domain
- log in inside the opened apps as if you have the 'browser extension' (nip-07 interface injected into tabs)
- pin apps/tabs to your app "drawer" for fast access
- access your contact list at the search page, profiles sorted by recently-accessed first
- search through profiles, notes and long posts
- tab menu - if there is an event-id/npub in the url of the opened tab, you can zap the event, or open with another app from the menu (more coming soon)
- context menu - if you long-tap on a link with event-id/npub in the url, you can zap/open-with from the context menu
- nostr: links clicked inside a tab are handled by showing a list of apps that support this event (NIP-89)
- long-tap on a text selection with event-id/npub to open the context menu to zap/open-with
- paste a url to the search bar to open it in a new tab
- paste an event-id/npub into the search bar to open it in a new tab
IMPORTANT: nostr apps running inside the browser tabs can sign events and decrypt private messages without a confirmation screen and your explicit permission - do not use apps you don't trust until we implement proper app permission management.
What is coming:
- key access permission management
- reordering of pins in the app drawer
- more event kinds on the homepage
- search for more event kinds
- tab switcher screen
- NWC to inject WebLN into tabs
- custom feeds on the home screen
- custom tab/context menu items
- DVMs for translation, transcription etc
- and much more!
What do you think?
I consider myself security minded and I'm not an "install absolutely random apks" kinda person, but I read half of this and the pros outweigh the cons so I have to try this out lol
It'd be easier to accept the tax if most of it wasn't invisible. Or just flat out redundant. There are many issues lol
Sap sounds like a reverse zap
Just zapped somebody 50 sats RIGHT before somebody else sapped me 42 for something unrelated. Watching an organic circular economy being built just from the twitter-clone parts of nostr feels historical
I didn't even notice the subtitle lmaooo
Watching Halt and Catch Fire, came back and noticed the frame I paused at 🤣
Went to delete a note after i posted it and it's gone! One relay hosted it for a minute, but my client wouldn't load it after. Cool to actively see everything being built
Nvm it crashed and now it working again lol. I did recently update. Let's see how attempting to delete a note works
Ever tried jellyfin? I could never go back. And open source
Oof never thought of that
I prefer thinking there's no human dignity WITH God. I'm not some divine megalomaniac's toy
