I still can’t believe I built this… Gift Nostr accounts, propose content to Nostr users, and migrate your existing social media accounts. Instagram. TikTok. Twitter. Substack. My site never sees your key or a new users’ key. How? Check the comments. I’m sure this will break, but damn I’ve been having fun building this. Will make a proper tutorial video after battle hardening it. Nostr is the final destination for your content. We need more bridges over here and powerful onboarding tools for our power users. Taking a screen break. Let me know how it goes.. I’m nervous.

It be great if there was a way to share my profile that isn’t sending my npub as a long string of letters. A short human readable username based url that links to my profile or something. When I send a newb my npub and tell them to add me it doesn’t seem to register that’s my profile. They just see a sketchy string of text that they don’t know what to do with.

Oh man you made it to production. Congrats! Was amazing to see your reaction when the very first was successful and the Insta migration just worked. I’m convinced vibe coding opens up the creative process for so many more people like you, which don’t had coding experience before. Well done Paul 🥳
Here's hoping this actually works 🤞 If not just yet, then at least after some testing-breaking-fixing in the future. Can you imagin YouTube not being able to pull down evidence of watermelon crimes? 🍉 Imagine no censorship, or pulling videos from SHITstagram and adding them on here for archival. Several other archival, censorship resistance, news suppressive, misinformation, true ancient healing and ancestral secrets that the media engine suppresses - the use cases are endless ✨ Here's hoping 🔮❤️‍🩹 View quoted note →

If you can allow uploads and parsing for Twitter Backup .zip file. This can help make the migration process more beneficial to users who have more than just a few posts. Probably something similar can be done for other social media too. image
That is awesome! Just imported my Instagram account dating back to 2020. I guess I can remove that 1GB Instagram data export file I kept just in case 😁 Sorry Primal for uploading that much, now I wonder how to import the photos into my relay once I get it running (Blossom?). BTW some issues I noticed @paul keating : When uploading 2 reels I saw 5 connections downloading through proxy-video, it worked fine in the end but some possible performance improvements here. Also when uploading 70 posts, all of them failed saying "Failed to publish to any relay"...but it actually worked fine, so I guess error handling needs some work. View quoted note →
This seems really cool :D Will you add Bluesky or Mastodon support at some point? Those apps allow you to gather MANY more posts from someone's account than Twitter does since they're designed with openness in mind I tried to come up with a Bluesky-Nostr automatic bridge in Python with some Nostr library but I could never get the posts to show up in any Nostr client (I tried Primal and YakiHonne), the accounts I was trying to test with were and @LittleBit's Grayscale Twin
Did this import their posts as notes from the dates they originally posted them? If so, did you need to specify anything to make that work? I’m working on a project and was thinking of adding a way to record a date or the original date of a post. I didn’t realize it was possible to have a post with a past date until I saw this.
I attempted to import IG . I see that ownyourposts limits the number of postings one can import .or did I miss something? Also after the import , the posting previews are not identified , aka blank. . I aim to move all my ig to Nostr and get off other platforms possibly .
😎. Yes … they all posted ! Stoked!!! . I’ve got a large art portfolio on ig I’d love to get all on NOSTR , ditch the ig and recommend many of my art/photographer friends to do the same . Not that Im asking u to do such a thing, as I don’t understand how this all works but, It be rad to select a certain amount out of the entire history time line so that you can eventually import all that’s needed .
