Looks cool! Well done ππ
How do you achieve zap walling?
Our server verifies your zap payment and sends you the decryption key. The nostr event stores the encrypted content. Fanfares decrypts and displays it. π«‘
Hmmm OK, so it's not decentralized, as I suspected.
The product sounds like a good idea, I'm glad someone is building this, but I wish it were more decentralized, in the spirit of Nostr (but I don't know how that would be achievable)
Our goal is to package Fanfares so anyone can run it themselves. Then it is fully decentralized. Creators would fully control the zapwalls of their own content.
It will take a while to get there π
took 3 years to get here, but we will get there
@Anhern Sarsalor [IQ: 102] its worth noting that @npub16lvp...7j3k :
- publishes content as interoperable nostr events
- enables creators to be paid directly via lightning
- paywalls content without taking a huge cut of revenue
It may not be fully decentralized but it's 97% better than Patreon, Substack, Audible, or anything else out there that isn't interoperable and takes a massive cut of your revenue! We are well on our way toward what you hope for!
@Shortfiat 's book "Digital Sovereignty" discusses this. Check out the preview:

You're doing great work, didn't mean to sound negative! I agree that what you have is without a doubt better than existing platforms
No its ok! Valid questions and concerns! Thank you! π«‘
Iβm excited for this. Have been trying to figure out how to host #zapwalled content on my own, but I best leave it to the experts.
Are there any known limitations re/ browser compatibility? Can't seem to make fanfares work on Vanadium (GrapheneOS), the website just freezes.
We'll test out Vanadium and see what we can do. Sorry about that but thanks for letting me know! π«‘
Thank you!

3. Amethyst - v1.00.0: Full Outbox
Amethyst is a Nostr client for Android that has reached version v1.00.0 with a major shift to the full outbox model, dynamically managing relay lists and supporting trusted, blocked, proxy, broadcasting, and indexer relays. This release reengineers the relay pool, caches, media handling, and subscription models while migrating to Flow-based architecture, Compose filters, and modular NIP implementations via its Quartz library. It adds YakBak voice messages, picture-in-picture pop-ups, ephemeral chats, follow packs, hidden tokens, live events, advanced relay management, and new translation settings. The update also improves performance, Tor support, push notifications, and caching services, marking a milestone in making Amethyst more modular, scalable, and feature-rich with greater user control over their Nostr experience. This was the biggest release of last week, and there were releases of v1.00.1, v1.00.2, v1.00.3, v1.00.4, and v1.00.5 last week.
