I'm really interested in:
- communication between apps, a la @npub19hg5...yv9p.
- app store/publication a la @Zapstore

Regarding communication between apps possibilities:
Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS)Β bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).
Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.
```
curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq
```
I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!
The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.
This means we can plug the entire internet to it π.
Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.
This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

I like how nostr will give non social media platforms, social media powers. But.

Application async messaging layer.
I use it to do multi-party multisig tx signing in Bitcoin Safe.
Wow, what tool do you use? Or is it custom?
I use ndk. The wallet descriptor (hashed) is the discovery method for other wallet participants. Since the descriptor could leak however, each participant has to be manually allowed in the real wallet chat. In there participants can exchange PSBTs and chat.

I'm working on bridging git with nostr
https://swarmstr.com/ has the stackoverflow look and feel on the way, kinda
has the Kickstarter thing working
and some other projects are trying to create a GitHub like experience
So I'm super pumped to see what will be available in the next years

Wow swarmstr got so much better!
Great suggestions!
Which git project is yours?
Ty! π€
this is what I'm working on:
it's a remote helper to create a #nostr aware git protocol. as is it already works with nostr native remote urls for remote repos hosted on GitHub, gitea, git lab, bitbucket or anywhere where you already have credentials to clone/pull/push. check readme for more info.
what I want to achieve is connect with #nostr native git service providers (GitHubstr) without the need to register an ssh key for each, using your nostr identity as credentials for git native commands

The ones that arenβt here yet. Get me a browser with native Nostr account wallet and such and the doors will open to a brave new world. Brave had the potenticial but they got cucked with their token and wallet.
