It seems to me that it would be really cool and good for Nostr to have a “1-click” solution that deploys a personal relay to a VPS that is: 1. “Tied” to your public key 2. Accepts reads and writes from you and (optionally) your follow list 3. Configured to be your read and write relay for the outbox model Does this kind of relay set up already exist? #asknostr

TIL relays reject old events. Incentivizes running your own relay I suppose. View quoted note →

I think I’m a New Yorker now. Almost got run over while crossing the street at a stop sign by a handicap transit van with one foot to spare. Driver apologized for not paying attention, I yelled at him, and my heart is pumping. Missed my chance to say “I’m walking here!”

My plan is to offer a NIP-07 Safari extension as part of my native iOS Nostr signer. Key, permission, and relay management settings would be done in the actual app, and the extension would use those settings. View quoted note →
