Born to Walk

Among my many projects, ‘Abbey’ is the one closest to my heart. Envisioned as a sanctuary for writers, I’m building it to be an essay-focused tool first. It’s a labor of love that I work on gradually, with the ultimate goal of creating the perfect writing environment.

I’m doubling down on Nostr development. Aside from Micro.blog, I think the protocol has a massive future. I host my Nostr experiments and writing at Pleb.One. I just added the RSS feed to my Micro.blog Sources, so you’ll start seeing those dev updates syndicating here automatically.

Some Holiday raking and burning, let’s hope I don’t burn the yard down.

I’m moving the MB-Manager to Github, so this next release will have different links for download. I was playing with Forgejo, but at this time, I think hosting my own git isn’t worth the effort.

Its going to be a sad day when side loading on Android ends. Developing without having to worry about the Play Store is so nice.

Zaprank has been up 30 days now, looking at what its seen there have been 145,991 zaps in the past 30 days. I somehow thought it would be more.. https://zaprank.pleb.one

We have the ability to upload and choose GIFs. We are using Tenor from Google, but pull it down to the client and then upload it via blossom so those viewing won't have to be tracked by Google. We also have a long form writing editor and search has been improved greatly, enjoy. #grownostr

Ok @corndalorian , gifs are in the client. Of course if your not using Linux, it won't help you. I'll be dealing it later today.. Merry Christmas! View quoted note →

Ok, last gif test posted double. Lets try again...
