How is your 2024? It has been pain, anger, tears, sweat, suffocation, growth, career change, love, passion and everything else. I fought in 2 BJJ competitions. Got choked to unconsciousness in the 1st and won a silver medal in the second. I wrote lots of JavaScript and worked as a full-time frontend engineer for the first time, coming from a backend engineering backend. I stepped away from programming and started my own podcast which I’ve been wanting to do for years. I started to read books again thanks to friends met in Portugal. I went to Thailand. I confronted with my limitations as a software engineer and closed the chapter of blowater.app I am not leaving Nostr. I believe in a better system for individuals to share and connect with people more than ever. But I will take time to learn before I make my next software. Last but not least, the true coin rocked!

So what just happened? I don’t usually pay attention to price, but when I do… Today is a good day.

Is Nostr getting quitter this year? (fewer active users)

Did Apple disable the ability to run unsigned apps in MacOS 15.1? Has anyone updated yet?

the ending is the weirdest thing I’ve seen ever

I just lost my first BJJ tournament. I got choked to unconsciousness in the first round. Disappointed but it also means that there much to learn. I look forward to the next one.

Damus on Mac has been my default desktop nostr client for almost half a year. I like it more than any web based nostr clients, including the one I was making. I’ve been reflecting on why Blowater was a failure. I believe it has some technical advances but as a product, it’s a failure. Nice try but failed. But I am not giving up. I am making something better in secrete.

amazing talk. I never liked to use Rails but DHH’s got insightful stuff

types are just interpretations of bits. they are not special.

Let’s all celebrate the release of strfry 1.0.0, the most important software in the nostr ecosystem.

Has anyone done a full relay sync with the Damus/NOS/Primal relay in strfry? How long does it take? In other words, how long does it take to sync 1 million events?

@Alby how to sign up Alby as a new user? Do I have to get an invitation?

As Platforms Decay, Let’s Put Users First

The net’s long decline into “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four” isn’t a mystery. Nor was it by any means ...

There are many people outside of Nostr who are aware of the problems of centralized platforms.

Basically all declarative/reactive UI frameworks in the Frontend/Mobile world are trying to provide an API similar to Immediate Mode UI such as ImGUI / Egui / Raylib Maybe people should wake up and reflect on that retained ui has been a bad decision for the history.

I respect Deno and the master minds behind it
