I work at the intersection of technology, ethics, and regeneration. I help people and organizations build digital solutions that are not only sustainable, but that strengthen the whole, from local knowledge to global collaboration. As initiator of the Permanent Future Lab movement #PFLab, I explore how open sharing can drive tech innovation for everyone. I’m involved with npub15qgfat6kkmzecup683u64lalqdceaejq97d8z8njhwk0c68umx6qcs5dcm and with multiple Nostr initiatives such as the Hello Nostr Starter Kit at hellonostr.dev, opencollective.xyz , noalt.app, Kidstr, npub1smwy5s5ypu823cemndwrg7252wdgdpnmufc7tkz9zxumta724u0qz5t0n6 , npub1mswm0kyce37jsnrwa3jelm469rcnezyq505djwl4aparmf4xf2es8rxl8w and others.

I mean how do we find this out with Yumyume if there is no unique identifier for this

I am comparing my social media behavior from 1 year ago with now. I was so much active on centralized social media platforms like Facebook even 1 year ago. Around 9 months ago, I heard about this amazing protocol from my friend nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7enj09ekjctw9ehx7um5wf5kx6pwvdshxcf0qyw8wumn8ghj76twdejhytnnv43xzum5d9uzuum0vd5kzmp0qqs0l09hq60h4fwkmvffavu70k9f0z2xd5j45cmm4s0tlpshkpt5q3q8wmrdl . In the first days, I was not much interested in this, to be honest, as I didn't use this much. Now I am not active on Facebook. Why do I need to be active on centralized social media platforms despite amazing decentralized protocol like this? Jump into this amazing protocol. Just be active here for one week. Then you will realize that this is the best social media protocol.

Trust me, you won't jump into any other centralized social media platform anymore.

Well, actually we met by a local facebook group πŸ«£πŸ˜… . But its better to meet by Nostr πŸ’―

Yes, so you will loose history. Won't there be a nip solution to keep the benefits and history?

But what about when an URL change, redirects slow down, might be getting outdated and not working anymore at all and so. Bookmark tools such as pinboard and raindrop can handle this well related to its history, interactions and so.

To be honest I am still too much in a NIP & Kind detail learning phase to give a good opinion on this. We find out, learn by trail & error. Currently it's working basically, but as you suggested it's not a good technical approach we should optimize it. In the future with nostr:nprofile1qy8hwumn8ghj7srwdaejumr0dshszxrhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgswaehxw309asjumn0wvhxcmmv9uqkvamnwvaz7tmxd9k8getj9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5hkuur4vgcnqcth0f4ku6n8x4er2mrpdfh8ydfnxsensmnyvduk57tvvachxunwwf68zdt8wfengwf4wc6ryutrxeshwum2xs6hjueh8a38ymmpv33kzum58468yat9qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qqsdc8dhmzvvclfgf3hwcevla6az3ufu3zq286xe8067s73a56ny4vc770yv8 (and other social bookmarking tools) I would like to see:

- Signing date of the first bookmark per profile (who started bookmarking an URL)

- Signing date of the updated bookmark per profile

- Optimally (speed) filter the social bookmarks on hashtags, bookmark / URL, profiles

- Search within descriptions

- Public & Private bookmarks

- Enhance with tools to optimize social bookmarking such as repeatedly 404 detection removal of bookmark (DVM?), LLM to filter on bookmarks during browsing (browser plugin or so). Idea I had for years , and also saw something similar suggested by nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcpr9mhxue69uhkwun0w4c8xtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vghsqgrkcud2uwjfruweamz8ewshug5umfq38g9mkmn2u9mk6ajru2w2lg26q8zu

Is there a planning tool for Nostr to have draft noted automatically published at a given time #asknostr

Just paid some credits with Bitcoin on-chain to Proton again. I wish nostr:npub18s4zkd0wjq5gkthz4paw2704ty4s354wcp2krvxy0sewz3g9z2cs73ydrt would integrate lightning and the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Zapplanner, so I don't need credits, but just pay automatically by lightning each month. Will save a lot of hassle and fees.

Last month nostr:npub1l77twp5l02jadkcjn6eeulv2j7y5vmf9tf3hhtq7h7rp0vzhgpzqz0swft and nostr:npub1zqcaun7cgynyaw6dapylz9cq7g4e62kj7z78hrklkwah2dcajyeqc9uza5 have started to work on a social bookmark client nostr:npub1mswm0kyce37jsnrwa3jelm469rcnezyq505djwl4aparmf4xf2es8rxl8w using Nostr (inspired by Del.icio.us from the past). Earlier this month they changed to event kind 39700 for broadcasting the Nostr events with the bookmark / link data accross the network. They did this because nostr:npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 already created a social bookmark like client https://pinja.in when nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 raised this idea:

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqytkummnw3ez66tyvgaz7tmrv93ksefdwfjkccteqqstqqprcjtg6pwut78squstta40qqqfr062y96zjgd2z52kg4k4s3c892uhx

This morning I integrated this behaviour too on https://ccns.nostrver.se. So new created links are now broadcasted as kind 39700 events to several relays.

So we have now 3 clients using this kind number and I have some suggestions to improve the currently used event structure which I wrote down in this article:

nostr:nevent1qqstvgj6vp7c2zvh5dux84aca6pmhuq6nnlcpc99vekut4h4r5tvy7cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqpnrnguxe8qszsshvgkvhn6qjzxy7xsvx03rlrtddr62haj4lrm3fzdmxw (fallback URL: https://nostrver.se/blog/links-posted-ccns-are-now-broadcasted-nostr-events-kind-39700 for client who don't render those bech32 formatted keys).

Great to see more integrations of it!

1. Kartapio - Nostr based food delivery app - New tool

Kartapio is a decentralized food delivery app built on Nostr, offering a censorship-resistant and open network for ordering meals. By leveraging Nostr’s relay-based communication, Kartapio connects users directly with restaurants and delivery partners without relying on centralized platforms. This ensures greater transparency, lower fees, and increased privacy for both customers and vendors.

2. RUNSTR - v0.2.0-alpha

Runstr is a decentralized running app on Nostr, giving users full control over their data. Although v0.2.1-alpha is the latest update it has just some small updates. So in here just focus about v0.2.0 update which include improves Amber login permissions and the Dashboard with accurate split formatting, pace in miles/km, and a mini music player, plus adds elevation tracking. The Runstr Feed (formerly Run Club) now supports likes and reposts, while Stats (formerly History) includes a calorie burn tracker and health profile input. Wavlake introduces continuous music playback and an improved track list. The Wallet now allows changing the default zap amount and adds a RUNSTR donation button. There were also some simple updates and core updates v0.1.9-alpha, v0.1.8-alpha and v0.1.5-alpha in this week.

txinfo is a decentralized tool that enhances blockchain transaction and address details using Nostr. Designed to be local-first, censorship-resistant, and independent, it allows users to access and share transaction insights without relying on centralized services. While fully functional without external dependencies, an Etherscan API key can be used for optimization.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this fifteenth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.

I made my tenth edition of "The Latest on the Nostr! - A weekly nostr recap" (February 10th, 2025) highlights notable news, releases, community milestones, upcoming events, and more from across the Nostr ecosystem. I am aiming to bring you a concise but comprehensive overview. So you can stay in the loop without chasing every thread. Below, you’ll find mentions of the incredible contributors and creators whose work, insights, and enthusiasm powered this decentralized network last week. Dive in, discover what’s new, and consider zapping these plebs to show your support. Let’s #growNostr together! πŸ—žοΈπŸš€ #nostrrecap

🧠 Quote of the Week

==================

β€œNostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom.”

The Alby community meeting is a biweekly gathering where members discuss and share updates on decentralized projects, focusing on Bitcoin and Nostr technologies. There were presented two nice nostr related projects in the last meeting on the 6th of February 2025.

# Angor

A decentralized crowdfunding protocol built on Nostr and Bitcoin. Angor is fully decentralized, with no middleman involved in the funding process. It has no backend and uses the Nostr and Bitcoin protocols to achieve this.

🌱 Ecosystem Growth

==================

Nostr is growing fast! There are now over 45 Nostr clients, and relays are running in more than 40 countries around the globe.

According to https://nostrapps.com, there are overall 75 Nostr apps for now.

During this week:

- Total zaps 54,050, compared to 56,313 zaps the week before

- Total zap amount: 9,882,143, compared to 9,895,154 sats the week before

Note: You can see some inconsistency with comparing this recap with the last few recaps’ total zap amounts. The reason is that zaps to Primal wallets were considered "invalid" by nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy code, and when the issue was pointed out they decided to relax their code. So all numbers were adjusted to include Primal zaps too.

πŸ‘‹ Stay in Touch & Zap

===================

Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting meβ€”Nomishkaβ€”with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.

I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this tenth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.

It's my dream one day and see the joy in my father's eyes. Cherishing the precious moments with our loved ones is what truly matters.
