Fevela

A Nostr social client that give you back full control of your attention and time with an innovative interface

has draft/pending posts now. You can save for later: And later you can publish (as previously signed, with old timestamp) or edit and resign and republish -- or discard and delete. Notes that fail to publish (because you're offline or your relays are offline) are automatically saved. The "Pending" menu only shows up if you have anything pending.

I was trying to scrape a website briefly for research purposes. Fetching the HTML with curl using the correct combination of headers worked fine, but when I tried to do it from inside my program it returned an error 403, exact same headers, same IP, same URL. Eventually I found out that the website had Cloudflare in front and Cloudflare did client fingerprinting based on the TLS algorithms advertised or something like that, such that curl and browsers were allowed but not anything else. It worked when I switched my code to using libcurl. This is both stupid and dystopic. How did we get to this situation?

This is good. Clients should make different choices and be opinionated instead of trying to please everybody. View quoted note → As long as they all talk the same protocol.

Two immediate use-cases that came to my mind now are @Kieran's zap.stream server publishing stream announcements on behalf of users, and @DanConwayDev's git servers that can be controlled directly via ssh and still get repository announcements published under the correct user. View quoted note →

If we had server-side Nostr services that could seamlessly and safely sign stuff on behalf of users what are some useful things that could be built?

Time to fix this:

Why are all Nostr clients trying to copy X, and yet they have a thousand emojis to select reactions from when X only has 1? Who decided that more is always better than 1 and making the user choose is always better than simplifying things?

save unpublished events and allow them to be published later by fiatjaf · Pull Request #100 · dtonon/fevela

I want to have publishing abilities that worked while offline (or when our main relays are offline, for example). Inspired by this note from @Giszm...

A group of technology enthusiasts clamoring for an open DM protocol and no one telling them about the great news of NIP-17 privacy-preserving messaging that works + user-chosen relays for maximum decentralization. View quoted note →

Looks like @npub1uh8v...9y4m (Tadge Dryja) wanted to implement Lightning first as a much simpler protocol, with no onion routing, easier to debug, no HTLCs. It was interesting to hear the full story of his Bitcoin life, I don't think it had been told before. Including what happened in the mysterious foundation of Lightning Labs (how it started as a Poon-Dryja company and fast-forward some years and it's just Stark-Roasbeef) and why he stopped working on DLCs.

There will come the day in which people will have to pay others to look at their AI-generated websites with lots of gradients, many words but completely void of any useful content whatsoever.

Is Nostr a DDoS machine?

What if we had a relay where new people could manually submit content to and pay a "curation fee", then some smart humans would pocket the fee and manually vet each submission and only allow in those that were deemed high-signal? Would you browse that relay in order to discover new high-signal content and new people to follow? Would you put it in your default relay feeds list or somewhere like that? @Cody @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 @Vitor Pamplona @Fabian @YakiHonne Please let me know if you have a better idea.

How is Nostr today? Did we get any new users? The last to join I think was @Havok two months ago.
