Oh Tágides of the Tagus, grant me voice
To praise Lisbon, written underfoot:
In black and white, the stones rejoice,
Each step bears history, worn but true.
No swords, no seas, no heroes crowned
Just walking makes a nation show;
For humble stone upon the ground
Teaches more than all the ships once knew.
I’ve been vibecoding a dashboard for Pubky homeservers.
Right now most people use Pubky through the Synonym homeserver. That’s convenient, but it also means fewer people actually run the infrastructure. The goal with this dashboard is simple: make homeservers easy to run and understand, so more people can self-host, making the network more decentralized, permissionless, and resilient.
I know Pubky can feel like a “competitor” to Nostr. I don’t really see it that way. I see overlapping values, different tradeoffs, and experiments that push each other forward. The web gets better when people try things instead of defending camps.
I’m still very much aligned with Nostr. This is just me following the work where it’s needed right now.
