What I'm loving about #nostr is lately I'm losing track of what website/app/PWA/client I'm on at the time, and I don't care. I'm interacting with content nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft highlighted on nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x which actually came from nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf but doesn't matter because it's basically the thoughts of nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc that I can interact with in an interoperable fashion. My comments, the zaps (#Bitcoin) flowing between ideas; iron sharpening iron.
Asbtracting away the tech, and focusing on the value. #v4v #grownostr
GM and Happy Monday. If Mondays suck for you, consider building yourself a life you don't need a weekly escape from.
Their exorbitant privilege blinds them to the light(ning).⚡
Also putting out a bounty for “In this house we stay humble and stack sats”. #artstr
I’d buy one of those 💯
Yes, he’s an amazing advocate with a handle of Bitcoin apologetics like very few of us.

Keep up the great work!
Beautiful! Happy to support in whatever ways I can. For me personally, Highlighter is one of the apps I can envision using the most in my daily life.
Explaining nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x has been difficult since it has been mostly a proof of concept so far.
I'm rebuilding it with an emphasis on onboarding new users.
Today I built this search-suggestions box for which I feel ridiculously proud 😂 it displays some of Highlighters' basic capabilities right off the bat.

Hey nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft- is integration with Kindle ever be feasible, or would their access demands be too high? I currently use Readwise to aggregate from Kindle (and other sources) and then send to Roam Research, where I combine/recombine ideas and work out my thoughts (due to Roam's cross-linking between notes, block references, etc). Would love to see this entire process recreated within the nostr ecosystem!
Good morning! Pura vida, and good homesteading to you!
Welcome to Nostr, Suzana!⚡️
Welcome to Nostr!⚡️Looking forward to following along on your adventures.
Welcome to Nostr, ACHTI!⚡️The #bitcoin is strong here, and the momentum is growing!
Yessssss - great link! Welcome to Nostr, Marshall! How'd you find it/hear about it?
Some big media account on Twitter asked people what they think the best music album ever was, front to back.
While some albums are more iconic than others, the fascinating thing about the question is how it tends to be a sign of what era someone came of age in (i.e. which decade they grew up as a teenager), and what cultural part of that era they were more in line with. Sure, some people go back and find older iconic music and appreciate it the most, the absolute greats of the past, but the more typical outcome is that someone finds music from their coming-of-age years to be what somehow sticks out.
For me it was rock in the 2000s, and my mental answer to the question of "best album?" was Meteora by Linkin Park.
While it was a very popular album and also well-remembered, it doesn't generally go down on the ageless list of greats. In other words, it's always kind of a top two or three genre item. I could argue why other more iconic albums are better, and why they "should" be my answer. For example I could go a little bit before my time, but still close enough, and say Nirvana's Nevermind was better. That would poll better.
But basically, as a product of my time, Meteora is just the one that struck the right chords at the right time when I was a teenager. It's the one that spoke to me. I would listen to it casually, and then also listen to certain songs in it before martial arts tournaments to get myself in the combat zone. Even as my musical tastes changed over time, that's the album I listened to the most of all time, and so when I hear it in the present day, I still appreciate it a ton.
The fact that they crossed genres appealed to me a lot. Their main vocalist, Bennington, struck their melodic and emotional aspect. The other vocalist, Shinoda, was their hip-hop guy, with a rougher or more practical aspect. Mr. Hahn brought an electronic aspect, and Delson brought the rock guitar aspect. Some of their stylization was anime-aligned, and I was into anime at the time. Basically whatever vibes I might be feeling as a teenager at the time, there was something in Linkin Park that spoke to it, with Meteora being among their best and which came out at the right time when I was 15. It's like Bennington would speak to my emo aspect and help me acknowledge it, while Shinoda and the others would pump me back up, and tell me to not fuck around and get back out there, and boost my confidence. Yin and Yang.
Another reason I thought of this is that here in 2023, Linkin Park released a 20th anniversary edition of Meteora, which included a couple songs like "Lost" that didn't make it into the original. It all hits a bit harder for us fans based on the fact that the lead singer, Chester Bennington, is no longer with us. RIP.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the second one.
Conclusion: Sometimes what hits harder subjectively is worth appreciating, rather than just whatever can be argued to be the best objective answer. Somewhere on that border between "objectively good" and "came out at the right time and hit the spot for you and imprinted itself" is your answer that is worth exploring and sharing.
What's your answer?
The right album, for the right person, at the right time contains a power and quality beyond what can be objectively perceived.
(Substitute book, conversation, song, etc for album here and the principle remains.)

This 100%. Not only is it hard to build a startup, but building on a new protocol as that protocol itself is an even harder level. And yet, the pace of development here on #nostr has been amazing (especially the last 8 months!). Very little genuine capital in the space, and yet we're seeing so much progress.
New business models will emerge, new ways of creating value, lower time preference, and a focus on the real will mean a different way products emerge. nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe alluded to much of this in the nest last night.

Could be totally fake, sure! I'm moreso commenting on both the generosity (note all the advise being given too) and the premise of what's possible in a way that can't be censored, confiscated, etc.
Woman asks on nostr how to make more money; in 9 hours, receives the equivalent of 16x monthly minimum wage, via donations, directly on her post. #nostr + #bitcoin

Imagine posting valuable takes from someone and being able to spLicE them value by distributing their stuff ⚡️.
Would love to send Jaron Lanier some Sats for his great insiGhts that i feel can connect very well with #bitcoin and #nostr Ecosystems.
nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft , magic data vending machine genius, does this makE any sense to you? 
Love this idea! As more authors come onto Nostr, it'll get easier to Zap whomever you read value (in Highlighter or wherever).
In normie world, I use ReadWise to collect highlights, resurface them periodically for memory, and also move them into RoamResearch for idea synthesis. Versions of those tools built on Nostr (like highlighter) would be amazing, and I'd be using them immediately.
I feel like we're getting there at such a fast pace, it won't be long!
