One of the next phases for NostrFeedz is going to be a Desktop app. I am toying with it being a command line app. Any preference out there? I lean towards tuis but accept that I am a nerd and others may not accept that.

I sometimes wonder how Gnome has become the defacto desktop for most of #Linux. It does look beautiful, that I cannot deny; but it’s lack of functionality, over simplification of apps, and lack of customization really make it sort of inferior to most other desktops.

@Zapstore have you guys started investigating how you will manage or what needs to be done when google starts locking down sideloading more?

Made some changes to

relay.pleb.one

relay.pleb.one - Community Nostr Relay

A community Nostr relay with whitelist-gated access and rust-powered backend

this morning. What We Removed (The Bad Stuff): - Private key login - This was like giving away your house keys to anyone who asked. Super dangerous! - Hex key login - Same problem, just a different format of your private keys What We Kept (The Good Stuff): - Browser Extension Login (NIP-07) - Like using a secure password manager. Your private keys stay locked in the extension and never get exposed. This is now the recommended way. - Public Key + Password - Only shares your public profile info, never your private keys. Good for automated tools. Why This Matters: - Before: Someone could steal your private keys and pretend to be you forever - After: Your private keys stay safe in your browser extension or never get transmitted at all The Trade-off: - Some users will need to install a browser extension (like Alby) or set up a password - But they'll be MUCH safer from hackers Bottom Line: We prioritized security over convenience - better to make users take one extra step than risk their accounts getting hacked!

After some consideration, I am going to take Zaprank down, it was a fun little experiment making a Nostr app with Rails, but in all reality it doesn't serve much of a purpose nor does it get the traffic making the resources it uses worth it.

The relay.pleb.one admin area was having login issues, they are remedied for those who want to go tinker there.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, Watched: F1 🍿

I think I may start building apps around syncthing, its the best way to sync without haveing a server. I love the idea of having to not rely on cloud infrastructure.

Syncthing may be one of the most wonderful technical creations ever.

Back to the full on cli MicroBlog client, it would be terminal dependent if I wanted it to render images and video.. people would have to run certain terminals.

After my last post using mb-cli, I am wondering if I should have it make me proof read before it sends.. or make it an option to turn on forced proof reading. Typos kill me.

I am in this build cli/tui app mode since installing Omarchy. I’m now thinking of a full blown MicroBlog terminal client.

This is a little crazy, Crucial has always been my goto for memory.

Currently I have fastmail, Hey!, Gmail, and Proton accounts for email. I think I’m going to try to consolidate to Hey! and Gmail only.

I’m pulling the feeble MacOS support from MB-Cli, github could build packages, but I really don’t have a way to test or troubleshoot it. It’s basically Linux only.

It’s the day of many cli-tools, so much easier when there is no Gui to create. Here is a quicky I made to post to my DayOne Journal from the cli, it uses your Gmail account to post over email. github.com/timappled…

Omarchy has Voxbox installed which allows me to do voice dictation so, I’m actually trying it out on the command line to see if I can do this micro-blog post.

This is just a test

I’ve started playing with Fizzy from 37Signals to see if it helps me keep my projects any more organized. I need to do something.

So, this is coming from MB-Cli, a simple app I made to post to MB from the command line when I’m in full on geek mode.
