I'm a tech enthusiast exploring the intersection of Nostr, AI, privacy, and crypto - and now vibe-coding.. Big on Linux, obsessed with open systems... In my downtime, I’m into photography, music making, and riding motorcycles — anything that gets me thinking or moving.

It really is a testament to the work done by @Vitor Pamplona on @Amethyst that in the space of an afternoon - I was able to #vibe-code a functional video first app - just by refactoring #amethyst... image

Think I might travel around the #nostrverse and look for projects to contribute too... I've always thought that #opensource development sometimes spreads it's resources thin... #vibe-coding

One thing I like about #vibecoding If an app is missing something you want, you do not complain about it. You grab the source, add the feature, and use it. Build instead of waiting. #nostr #opensource #builders #dev

Start working on a new web app called #Binder ... Using existing #nostr primitives- it bundles long form content in a coherent 'book' So far - - auto save drafting - encrypted backup to relasy - markdown editor and previewing - New authors and hots reads - and other stuff Has been a fun exercise #vibe-coding #ai #codex #gemini image

image NCC Sidecar v1.2.2 is live This release focuses on backup integrity, recovery, and more reliable discovery for self-hosted services. Encrypted backups by default Node backups (Kind 30001) now use NIP-44 encryption. Managed service lists and configuration data are no longer published in plain text to relays. Improved admin recovery A new two-stage bootstrap flow allows full recovery after reinstall. Logging in is enough. Sidecar locates your encrypted bootstrap keys linked to your identity and restores state automatically. Updated resolution engine Now running ncc-06-js v0.6.0, improving discovery resolution, protocol filtering, and overall reliability. UI refinements Standardised theming for cleaner dark mode transitions, relay management restored, and a new “Copy NPUB” shortcut added to the dashboard. The goal remains simple: make Nostr services easier to discover without compromising privacy. #NCC06 #Nostr #SelfHosting #Privacy https://www.npmjs.com/package/ncc-sidecar

Continuing on with Nostr Community Conventions 02 and 05 (#ncc) - I knocked up an NCC-VPN.... Technically a proxy service - it can intercept NCC address - <npub>.nostr and resolve using the NCC-02 Service Records and NCC-05 Dynamic Locators... Proving service without DNS is workable - using #nostr as the backbone! https://www.npmjs.com/package/ncc-vpn - CLI client - npm install ncc-vpn #nostrdevs #dns #privacy #decentralised
