nostr/ bluesky integration?
Nostr is being discussed at a fortune 200 company.
A town square should serve the people, not a billionaire with incentives.
Keep working hard Jeff!
Hey, would like to get in touch with you and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m . I have been working on something awesome.
The web faces a larger range of attack vectors compared to mobile apps. There are some people on here working on solving the complexities around all of this stuff. Rabble’s interactions will probably lead you places
The backend has to get more efficient for sure. It’s posting a nostr event with a link of your updated pfp to every relay you are connected to
Damus doesn’t have an algorithm so it’s hard to connect with content you align with right off the bat. Nostr feels like eating plain oatmeal and berries instead of a McDonald’s double cheeseburger (X)
Why is my whole X feed Elon promoting Trump right before the election? 🤨
He’s clearly abusing his power… https://video.nostr.build/dc5962d39557761251830c9523847149947ca1e72c12f132b4e3d7a3d14d1de9.mp4
I’m experiencing a similar timeline on X
This update marks a major milestone for the project. I know, with certainty, that MLS messaging over Nostr is going to work. That might sound a little crazy after so many months working on the project, and I was pretty confident, but until you’ve got running code, it’s all conjecture.
Late last week, I released a video of a working prototype of [White Noise](https://github.com/erskingardner/whitenoise) that shows the full flow; creating groups, inviting other users to join those groups, accepting invites, and sending messages back-and-forth. I’m thrilled that I’ve gotten this far but also appalled that it’s taken so long and disgusted at the state of the code in the app (I’ve been told I have unrelenting standards 😅).
If you missed the video last week...

## What's Next?
In this update, I want to cover a few things about how I'm planning to proceed and how I’m splitting code out of the app into libraries that will help other developers implement MLS messaging in their own Nostr clients.
First off, many of you know that I've been building White Noise as a Rust app using the [Tauri](https://tauri.app) framework. The [OpenMLS](https://github.com/openmls/openmls) implementation is also written in Rust (with bindings for many other languages). So, when you hear me talking about library code, think Rust crates for now.
The first library, called [openmls-nostr](https://github.com/erskingardner/openmls-nostr), is an extension/abstraction on top of the openmls implementation of the MLS spec that helps Nostr clients interact more easily with that implementation in a way that feels native to Nostr. Mostly this will be helping developers interact with MLS primitives and ensure that they’re creating, validating, and serializing these objects in the right way at the right times.
The second isn’t a new library as a big contribution to the already excellent [rust-nostr](https://github.com/rust-nostr) library from nostr:npub1drvpzev3syqt0kjrls50050uzf25gehpz9vgdw08hvex7e0vgfeq0eseet. The methods that will go in rust-nostr are highly abstracted and based specifically on the requirements of NIP-104. Mostly this will be helping developers to take those MLS primitives and publish or query them as Nostr events at the right times and to/from the right relays.
Most of this code was originally written directly in the White Noise library so this week I've started to pull code for both of those libraries out and move it to its new home. While I’ve been at it, I've been writing some tests and trying to document things.
An unfortunate offshoot of this is that the usable builds of White Noise are going to take a touch longer. I promise it’s still a very high priority but at this point I need to clean a few things up based on what I've learned thus far.
Another thing that is slowing down release is that; behind the scenes of the dev work, I’ve been battling with Apple for nearly 2 months now to get a proper developer team set up so that we can publish the app via TestFlight for MacOS and iOS. I’ve also been recently learning the intricacies of Android publishing (oh my dear god there are so many devices, OS versions, etc.).
With that in mind, if you know anyone who can help get me up to speed on CI/CD, release pipelines, and multi-platform distribution please hit me up. I would love to learn more and hopefully shortcut some of the pain.
Thanks again so much for all the support over the last few months! It means a lot to me and is a huge part of what is keeping me going on this. 🙏
Really great stuff Jeff.
Hey internet friends! My name is Mitch and I run the Project Untethered YouTube channel (112k subs) where I share the best travel hacks I’ve discovered from the last 9 years digital nomad-ing in the road. Things like tricks for finding cheap flights, packing hacks, sneaky travel scams to avoid, and basically everything you need to know to travel smarter for less. If you like travel and wanna save money, check it out!
I’m sitting next to the Great nostr:npub1qqvt0m3nlvjnssmrn33w9yh7cuq2dx5nkz8wxax9hk5hrjdnj4jqz8cn3w right now, who I hear is a big deal around here and convinced me NOSTR is the future 😎

Cool stuff!
Nostr attracts the adventurers, frontiersman and tinkerers to participate in a new era of computing. Let’s keep pushing to make this a growing ecosystem for all. #nostr
When is the next major nostr event? #asknostr
Would love to pick your brain on a nostr project we are working on if you have time for a call. Thanks for all your great work!
I'm excited to share an experiment I've been working on: a solar-powered, self-hosted website running on a Raspberry Pi. The goal was to use the smallest, most energy-efficient setup possible, even if it means the website goes offline sometimes. Yes, this site may go down on cloudy or cold days. But don't worry! When the sun comes out, the website will be back up, powered by sunshine. https://dri.es/my-solar-powered-and-self-hosted-website
Cool stuff
