Hey Nostr,
I’ve been tinkering with an idea for a mobile app (name TBD—maybe “Proof of Move”, “Movestr”, or something else dope; suggestions welcome!) aimed at athletes and dancers, and I’d love your thoughts, critiques, and tips. The gist: record videos of your moves, analyze your form, and get community feedback—all built on Nostr with Blossom for video uploads. Before I dive into building a prototype, I want to gauge if this has legs. Here’s the breakdown:
The Vision
Picture this: you record a video in the app, use built-in tools to check your form—slow-motion, frame-by-frame, maybe overlays for angles—and then share it with the Nostr for tips. Others watch, drop comments (even tied to specific timestamps in the video), and help you improve. It’s about leveling up your skills with peer input, all decentralized. Zaps will be integrated for that extra community vibe.
Example Usages
A dancer nailing a pirouette, checking if their posture’s on point.
A lifter tweaking their squat, looking for feedback on depth or back angle.
Calisthenics training, where you’re trying to hold a planche and want tips on wrist positioning or core tension.
Bouldering, attempting a V5 send but not seeing the beta—community spots the foothold you missed.
A gymnast working on a backflip, needing input on tuck timing.
A martial artist practicing a roundhouse kick, asking if their hip rotation needs work.
A yogi holding a tricky pose like crow, wondering if their balance looks off.
Technical Setup
Here’s the plan so far:
Video Recording: Straight from your mobile camera, saved as webm for now.
Uploads with Blossom: Videos go to a Blossom server (e.g., http://blossom.example.com/upload), which returns a URL like http://blossom.example.com/video123. Keeps it simple and Nostr-friendly, inspired by how OLAS handles media.
Add discoverability of the sports and activities you subscribe to, or you see a feed of people you follow.
Nostr Events: Two posts:
Custom kind: 32268: A dedicated event type for the app (placeholder for now, might change). It carries the video URL and structured metadata in content, like:
{"title": "Pirouette Check","video_url": "http://blossom.example.com/video123%22,%22description%22: "First attempt, feedback welcome!","metadata": {"duration": 15,"fps": 60,"annotations": [{"timestamp": 5.2, "note": "Knee slightly bent"},{"timestamp": 8.1, "note": "Arms need to go higher"}]}}
Tags: ["t", "danceform"], ["r", "<video_url>"] for discovery and linking.
Auto-generated kind: 1 Teaser: If you opt in to share publicly, the app posts a teaser linking to the kind: 32268 event via an e-tag:
{"content": "Check my pirouette! Feedback in the app: http://blossom.example.com/video123 #danceform","tags": [["e", "<kind-32268-id>", "wss://relay.damus.io", "reply"], ["t", "danceform"], ["r", "<video_url>"]]}
This pops up in Damus, Primal, etc., nudging folks to the app for the full deal.
Questions for You
Use Case: Would you use this for sports, dance, or something else (like the examples above)? What features would hook you?
Blossom: Solid pick for video uploads, or should I explore NIP-96, IPFS, or another option? Know any reliable public Blossom servers?
Event Structure: A custom kind: 32268 for video + metadata—good idea, or overkill? Should I just cram it into a different kind?
Analysis Tools: How big a deal are slow-motion, overlays, or AI posture detection? Worth prioritizing?
Timestamp Comments: Liking the idea of comments tied to specific video timestamps? How should that feel in the app?
Naming: “Proof of Move” (nod to Bitcoin vibes), “Movestr” (Nostr-style), or something else? What’s your pick?
Gotchas: Any traps I’m missing? Relay strain, video size limits, Blossom quirks?
Next Steps
I haven’t built a prototype yet—want to make sure it’s worth the effort first. If there’s buzz, I’ll start coding, add analysis tools, and maybe open-source it. Could even host a Blossom server if public ones choke.
What’s your take? Tear it down, suggest tweaks, or let me know if this is something you’d vibe with. Bonus points for killer name ideas—your input’s gold! Thanks for weighing in!

Probably some boating accident #btcprague


#btcprague is more into shitcoinery than last year.
Even a horribly presented announcement for a new exchange is allowed here…
Bitcoiners don’t care about trading. And especially are not interested in shitcoin casinos


Finally back in Prague! I missed you
My beautiful son was born yesterday, I feel so blessed.
This is pura Vida !

Getting the keys to our new home in one and a half week, very excited! Now it's time for some strolling through Ikea and get some inspiration
Just a quick test lnbc10u1pjjaxx8pp5hs5x4huuaz4pealj6snwe4x6nhavz6p9pxc0czelg7480wmkl7gsdq823jhxaqcqzzsxqyz5vqsp5muzd8lznw8aysjkqula2xfpgqtsupcz47ndn7f8lcver39fmh23q9qyyssqt9hnpgfeckcuka463epsczxhyxcn8tepdddkvu0d375leuk40hq933shyrlsj5hxnx7d58l4luc9248yr980294mwl008tvzpxxxt8sptu87rc
Pura vida! dobrý den!
So nice to see everyone already in Prague, amazing city.
I have to wait one more day before I go there but can’t wait to have some of those black beers with some bitcoiners!
If you guys need food tips I can highly recommend:
- svíčková na smetaně, or simply svíčková
- Prague-style beef goulash with knedlíky (dumplings) or switch the dumplings for bramboráky (potato pancakes) which are a really great combination as well
- Czech steak tartare
- Smažený sýr (fried cheese) with fries. Do not use mayonaise of ketchup, eat it with tatarská omáčka (tartar sauce) instead
Do not eat Trdelník, it is not authentic Czech and it’s just a tourist trap. Also avoid the food stands on the old town square and those kind of spots, all tourist traps.
For me one more day till I go there, I will first be enjoying my six months anniversary with my amazing girlfriend today!
Pura Vida nostriches!
Just woke up for the first time on the beautiful island Fuerteventura, this will definitely be a wonderful holiday
Pura vida nostriches!
