Building Satellite https://satellite.earth 🏴

When you upload a file to the CDN it auto-detects the file type based on the initial byte sequence. Maybe there is a bug in the library I'm using. I'll look into it. Can you send the link the doesn't embed? That'll help me track down the issue

The CDN is a wrapper for Cloudflare R2. But the data doesn’t get uploaded straight to object storage, the stream passes through Satellite’s server to authenticate the uploader and compute NIP-94 metadata

Oh I see, like breaking up an essay into a bunch of parts that you can individually reply to. I'm pretty sure Twitter got rid of the char limit (or maybe just for blue checks, not sure...)

I'm open to increasing the "surface area" for reactions on longer pieces of content. Perhaps the right approach for nostr would be working this into long-form content with a UI where you can respond to highlights

Interesting — I guess I don't fully understand what makes a thread a "live thread" compared to how normal threads works already on the Twitter-style clients

thanks!

What do you mean? Like reddit-style threads?

Hey everyone I just pushed a big update for Satellite!

Redesigned front page layout, added mobile nav and other new design stuff, plus some pretty significant performance optimizations.

I'll do a full write up tomorrow.

Hi I'm the developer of Satellite — I just pushed an update with a redesigned layout, it should hopefully make navigation a lot better

I was looking at this today, thinking about trying it. I like how you can mute certain sites. Google has definitely gone downhill for coding searches nostr:npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7

Hey! Are you a new Nostrich? Are you practicing safe nsecs?

You should never enter your nostr private key (nsec) into web clients. Think of this as your password, but you can't change it, and it's used to post all of your events and notes on nostr. It's very important. You need to keep it safe!

So, if you're using a web client such as snort, primal, coracle, satellite, or iris etc., you should not be entering in your nsec private key into these websites. It's just good security practice! Some web clients won't even function or allow you to sign into them unless you're using a Nostr extension (sometimes referred to as NIP-07).

To help you and your private key stay safe, you may use a web browser extension to hold your key for you and sign your events and notes on nostr on your behalf. The two most popular ones are nos2x and Alby. Nos2x was developed by nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 and is very basic, but to the point. nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm has some nice additional features included, such as a being a Lightning wallet, giving you a Lightning address, and a Nostr address.

I personally use them both for different situations. On desktop, I use Alby. On my Android phone with the Kiwi browser, I use nos2x.

If you have questions, do not be afraid to ask! 🤙

Ok, because of this note, I just added an explicit warning on Satellite that you *really* shouldn't be copy/pasting your nsec and that you should use an extension instead... I still think it's nice to have the option for testing/tryout and for people who need to spin up an ephemeral "throwaway" id for whatever reason
