permissionless product development. live and let live✌️

Another work-in-progress preview of Akawin. This video shows how the user will be able to quickly add columns such as their timeline, notifications, and content feeds. Search and filtering will make it easy find and follow whatever you’re looking for.

Interesting. There should be a better way to make it interoperable that works for the user.

Nice✨

Thanks. A lot of work but it was worth building from ground up instead of forking an existing client.

One of the problems with invoices is that they can only be paid once. We could have a zap invoice that could be for a set amount and allow multiple people to pay it. A cross between zap (tip) and invoice (fixed amount). The payments could be public or private using Will’s spec.

Nostr connect needs broader support; check out how seenless the experience is using it on https://nostri.chat.

The fact that nostr connect doesn’t run in an extension is great because it transparently spans to non-browser apps

A LOT of devs need to hear this

Totally agree. Onboarding new users to keys and safe key management is important. Its a tough problem to solve for new users. Chrome extensions in general are hard for users and Alby is super confusing.

Nostr web apps need a good new user workflow, and short video explainers, and super simple key manager.

I like the way streaming services let you login on the tv by using a QR code and your mobile device. It needs to be super easy.

My goal is to get one to everyone who wants a FCSW shirt or hat. Someone has to save the salamanders.

Fucken right! 🦎

Anybody want to help design t-shirts and hats for Foundation for Conservation of Salamanders and Woodlands (FCSW)? It's a worthy cause, I think you will agree. And spreading the word on this important cause is a great worthwhile initiative.

I’d like to order one. FCSW🦎

This is a great idea too. Personally not a fan of needing a publicly glorifying no of followers. But the the ability to influence though has pros and cons and often ties back to # of followers so abandoning that might miss a large market segment - religion, leadership and cult ties back to this influencing concept let alone social influencers.

Is there a risk if clients just takes the max return from any of the relays, and should relays inform what’s their stored events as part of their specs, should users want to reflection of a max count ?

I agree. I just think it is a constant issue of people believing they’ve been censored, throttled, etc. when it’s actually a technical issue that is not understood. Either resolve the issue or explain it better to the user.

I personally think the default should be don’t show it and for those who really want to see it loads. I like how IG has an option to hides the likes to a post. If a user clicks on a post where the counter is hidden they have to count it themselves.

I got asked about follower count again today. Why does my follower count go down when I delete public relays (in our list) and replace them with filter.nostr.wine?

I’ll give you one final explanation to rule them all. First, let’s go over how clients calculate your follower count.

1. Your client sends a request to all your connected relays asking for accounts who follow you

2. Relays answer back with the events requested

3. The client aggregates the event total and displays it

Each relay has a set limit on how many stored events it will return per request. For some relays it’s 500, others 1000, some as high as 5000. Let’s say for simplicity that all your public relays use 500 as their limit. If you ask 10 relays for your followers the max possible answer you can get is 5000. That won’t change if you have 20,000 followers or 100,000. You may get back a “different” 5000 each time, but you’ll still cap out at 5000 because that is the most events your client will receive.  Our limit on filter.nostr.wine is 2000 events. If you replace 10 public relays with only filter.nostr.wine, the MOST followers you will ever get back from our filter relay is 2000. That doesn’t mean you only have 2000 followers or that your reach is reduced in any way.

As long as you are writing to and reading from the same public relays, neither your reach nor any content was lost. That concludes my TED talk. I hope you all have a fantastic day and weekend.

Yep, the issue is with the expectation created and trying to duplicate the centralized model.

Maybe we shouldn’t do that or recreate a focus on follower counts.

An idea I had for UI would be to show no counters for following and followers. If a user clicks on followers just display “Here’s a sample of 500 (or whatever ####) followers we found. Get to know them.” Show those. 🤙🏼

Don't you still end up with somebody somewhere being the source or owner of the replacement..?

Not necessarily. Just as your note was likely written to multiple relays. It can build it so that there is redundancy and resiliency. There are other models for git. Replacing the collaboration and community tools of GitHub is where nostr adds value.

My 3 year old daughter is walking around the house saying I'm the boss. No one else in the house says anything like this 🤣

Respect 🫡

can't wait to try it! is it available on github to test?

🤙🏼 couple weeks.

Another preview of Akawin … at launch users will be able to easily create custom multiple columns using keyword search and filters for specific for media links, following network, and reactions. So you could create a column for just music links shared by your friend network. Sorting, more filter, and expanded network options will be added.

Yes, it definitely could be bigger given the man

Maybe some huge multinational company using his name will fund a proper museum. 😄

Would love to go nostr snorkeling. Where can we find akawin?

🙏🏼 Thanks. Very soon. The team is finishing up and we’ll launch it around the middle of the month.
