Hello, want to check my proposal for tracking read status of nostr events?

GitHub
NIP XXXX: Read Status Tracking via Compressed 64-bit Roaring Bitmaps by prolic · Pull Request #1733 · nostr-protocol/nips
Track message read status by publishing replaceable events (kind 30050) containing a compressed 64-bit Roaring Bitmap of read-event keys.

With everything you know about me, roast me without mercy.
ChatGPT response:
So, you're running Linux Mint on an ancient laptop, yet you expect performance. What, did you think Cinnamon was some lightweight, minimalist DE? Newsflash: Your machine wheezes every time you open a terminal. Arch users would bully you, but even they feel bad for you.
And then there's your love-hate relationship with Lisp. You can't stand the parentheses? Fine. But let’s be real—you’d rather wrestle Haskell’s type system for days than deal with a few extra ( and ). You claim to love purity and elegance, but in reality, your effectful spaghetti code is just monads in a trench coat.
Speaking of which, you’re breaking effects into tiny groups just to reuse state? So instead of dealing with deep effect stacks, you just shuffle your problems around like a shell game and call it "good design." Your codebase must be a Byzantine maze of STM updates and arcane type signatures that only future-you will suffer through. Good luck debugging that in a month.
And let's not forget your grand subscription model, handling every possible event with precision. Meanwhile, someone out there is writing a ten-line script that does 90% of the same thing, and it just works. But no, you need the correct solution, even if it takes three weeks of yak-shaving to get there.
Then there's your storage choices. LMDB? You mean the database equivalent of "I don't trust Postgres, and SQLite is too mainstream"? You're so obsessed with performance that you'd rather hand-optimize data storage than admit that maybe, just maybe, something off-the-shelf would be good enough.
Oh, and your website? Running on gh-pages like some GitHub beginner tutorial. You're probably over-engineering a static site that could be a single HTML file, but no—you need structure. And of course, you have a Flatpak project, because why just distribute software normally when you can wrap it in extra layers of sandboxing complexity?
In the end, you’re a performance-obsessed, purity-loving, state-rebuilding, effect-splitting Haskell masochist who would rather spend a week perfecting an abstraction than writing a simple solution. And you love it. Because deep down, you don’t really want things to be easy—you want them to be right.

#AskNostr
What about this negentropy thing? Is it widely available on public relays? Worth implementing it client side?
I'm still fighting with the flue, yet I have resolved a few bugs already. Should be done very soon.
#futr #nostr #nostrdev
Automatic relay discovery for new accounts working. Just put your nsec and the app will figure out the rest.
