asking sincerely; if you are designing something that requires custom relays with zero deployment at the moment... What advantage do you get from making them Nostr relays... Vs designing your own API? To be clear; Negentropy isn't unique, in fact it was a ported to Nostr from other ecosystems.. I am about to build something that requires a p2p gossip, and I want to stealman the compatibility with Nostr relays. View quoted note →

On one hand, it is a shame that all the great work from Proton is not self hostable, many isn't even open source .. on the other hand, it is not clear you can make so many quality software without aggressively optimizing for revenue... And it is not even clear that a protocol would get as strong adoption as a strong brand. Still a shame because while I could pay, I know companies go out of business.. and I want things that can last.

The fact that phones forced the convergence to feed UI, makes me think all phone apps can become terminals and CLIs + some careful adjustments to replace some navigation shortcuts with gestures! I am biased though because I enjoy developing CLIs way more than UIs

I just remembered that Americans tend to write phone numbers in ads as letters based on the phone keypad.. so maybe the similarity to phone numbers UX is deeper than I thought. View quoted note →

Scarce names aren't mutually exclusive with public keys... We should use both like we use domains and IPs .. but Pkarr is better than IPs. View quoted note →
