To answer my own question: @Plebchain Radio. One of the most #cypherpunk podcasts I've listened to in a while. Highly recommended. View quoted note →

Finally tried @Zapstore for the first time today. Very cool. The way an app store should be: #permissionless Powered by your social graph. Supports making direct payments to developers, with zero fees taken by the app store. Some days (most days?) using Nostr feels like living 10-20 years in the future. #grownostr

Have you ever bought or sold something for #cashu ecash? #asknostr

You could ask a broligarch for permission to speak. Or not. #grownostr

Not your keys, not your voice. #grownostr

The way to offer your customers robust #privacy is not by promising to protect their data, but by proving to them that you don’t - or even better, can’t - collect it. No accounts. No centralised servers. No pixels. No secretive, proprietary code. Allow self hosting. Accept private payment methods (like #Monero).

No I would *not* like to sign up for an account, thanks. #privacy #freedom #grownostr

Talk is cheap. So is code. Nice rant you did there. Nobody cares. Congrats on all that code you “shipped.” Nobody cares. Identifying valuable problems to solve and solving them requires much talking and much coding. So: Spend twice as much time listening as you do building. Invest more time in writing shorter, clearer messages. Quit being the devil’s advocate and start being your user’s advocate. Your customers and your community will thank you for it. #grownostr #ux

If you get value from my posts, please consider: * reposting my notes * sending me a zap * sending me #Monero (see profile for address) * following me Any of the above are greatly appreciated, and show me that I’m delivering something useful to you. Thank you! 🫡 #v4v #valueforvalue #grownostr

A great example of how to leverage network effects when building something new is the Kotlin programming language. It was a new programming language, with a clean, simple syntax, and an elegant programming model. And it’s 100% interoperable with Java. Even if you are the only person on Earth using Kotlin, you immediately get access to the most industrial strength programming tools that exist - any Java library, build tools, profiling tools, etc. - while gaining the advantages of cleanliness and simplicity offered by Kotlin. If Kotlin were an island, instead of fully interoperable by design, it would have remained a marginal curiosity. Instead it has become the preferred language for Android applications. All because it used the network effect to its own advantage, rather than fighting against it. #grownostr View quoted note →
