Wtf? I just learned that there's a one-hour interval every year that simply cannot be represented when daylight savings time ends (in regions that respect it) when using RFC 5545 iCalendar / ISO 8601 format if you want to specify a time zone identifier. This is the format that Google Calendar and most calendar apps follow. The only way around the issue is to use numerical time zone offsets (which in itself can be error prone due to the need to understand daylight savings and does not conform to the iCalendar spec). I'm working on NIP-52 calendar events, debating between using Unix timestamps and following the iCalendar format for maximum interoperability. The fact that there's a meaningful interval of time that can't be represented in the latter format seals deal for me, unless I'm missing something. That's pretty messed up.

I have a hilarious idea, following the success of @npub1wxl6...hcan What if someone releases a pure iOS Nostr profile zapping client. Its sole purpose is to show you a list of profiles whose notes you have emoji reacted to but haven’t zapped yet, which can be determined by either: 1. Presence of a zap from you on the reacted note, or 2. Timestamp of your last zap to the profile Its prompt is simply something like “zap these profiles”. It won’t show you the actual note content, and the code would zap only the profile. Instead of needing someone to run a live server like Zapple Pay, the user would need to manually tap the button but the app would make it easy so all you need to do is keep tapping ⚡️ until you zapped everyone. What’s told to Apple? “It’s just a way to tip people on Nostr”, which is true. It’s not showing any digital content to the user. cc @jb55 @Fabian @npub1plst...kx8j

Is this what freedom smells like? What else am I missing here? image

I shit you not. My iOS keyboard just autocorrected my spelling of Apple to Zapple. Thanks, Tim Zapple.
