Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Is the bounty from almost three years ago, to build a GitHub replacement on Nostr, still active? Since then, several important pieces have been built, and none of it would’ve been possible without @DanConwayDev’s work on ngit or @fiatjaf with GRASP. Have you seen

gittr

gittr - Decentralized Git Hosting on Nostr

A truly censorship-resistant alternative to GitHub built on Nostr.

by @arbadacarba? It appears to be a fully functioning GitHub alternative. Finally! With the work from all of them, it seems like that bounty might be close to fulfilled.

Linus Torvalds creates Git in because someone suddenly wants to monetise the labour of thousands of open source enthusiasts. The company BitKeeper hosted the Linux kernel for free for years and simply changes its licence terms overnight. Opensource under attack. Fast forward ... today. Bitkeepers attack was successfully fended off. Git is everywhere. But now what? Most repos are hosted on GitHub. Did Microsoft aquire Github for only $7.5B because of their well known Opensource ethos? 🤔 Now what's next? IMHO it may be worth checking out alternatives: either the big ones (Gitlab), or maybe sth. like Codeberg[1], or self hosting, whatever ...

Seems that the bunker logging in gittr is not working well 😅

The bounty requirements were never documented.

i guess we'd need to ask the man himself then. @jack what are the requirements? what would need to be done to make this bounty finally fulfilled? take a look when time permits and see if this project meets them.

The bounty has done a poor job of incentivizing work on this goal. OpenSats paid Dan to build his project. Everyone else was left to help him (like we did) for no pay, or to build a knock-off edition that basically does the same thing, but in blue, and hope to also get an OpenSats grant. We were initially going for the same solution, but now we're building the opposite, to solve the underlying problem of needing to login with email and a password, and to sign commits with GPG keys. But, he never explicitly said that he wanted to solve for that. The bounty specified GitHub, which is a social website for devs. We have a bunch of those, now.
