I try to help keep a few Nostr info sites up to date, including my own. For the people who'd be searching these sites, bad and irrelevant information is worse than no information. I've run into a few things recently that make this little task unnecessarily complicated. 1. There are a lot of new variables with the rise of vibecoding. Good but abandoned happens fast. Open, thoughtful collaboration happens less. Good stuff comes of it, too. It's just harder to sort from the noise. 2. Some people have too many obligations to stay on top of them all. That's not new, but its more obvious in the current, faster paced environment. 3. Enough time has passed that seemingly abandoned projects suddenly come back from the dead. Plently of people likely don't see these as problems. I also know there's no way to solve said perceived problems. I can only help curate solid information. I know many Nostr projects are passion projects & hobbies. I believe those are critical to the mission at large, at least in the short-mid term. I know there are monetization efforts, funding that runs out, ideas that fade, other priorities, and that time is precious. My own, too. So I'm trying to come up with a new set of standards, by which to judge list-worthiness, that takes current reality into account and doesn't waste time with listing, unlisting, and relisting. So what I'm thinking is, a project: - needs to exist and be receiving improvements/working smoothly for a minimum of 2 months. - needs to support multiple sign-in methods and expose relays within 3 clicks (exceptions for one task microapps) - if it looks and feels vibecoded, it needs to be a legitimately useful tool; in which case, easily available source code can compensate for generic appearances. - if something is listed & it goes dark or breaks without repair, I will leave it listed for 1 month(ish) from when I notice it. During that time, I will try to contact its developer, if I know how, and proceed accordingly. Do those seem fair, in regards to everyone involved, with the reader taking the priority seat? Maybe I am taking this too seriously, but I wouldn't be using Nostr if it wasn't for a solid info site. I've been volunteering some of my time towards this for nearly a year, and I enjoy doing it. I believe the informed user is the sticky user, and I believe everyone's time is best spent doing what they do best, with as minimal interference as possible.

Why don't more clients support zap splits?

I know I'm biased, but wss://relays.land/spatianostra just keeps getting better. The feed has moved beyond being esthetically pleasing into also being a bit more intellectually stimulating and a little humorous. Bitcoin makes an occasional appearance but it's rare and usually thoughtful. Nature is queen. The seasonal vibe has shifted from flowers to mushrooms. There's poetry and quotes, art and food, personal stories and silly jokes. Author diversity continues to grow. It's just so cool. Looking at it now, in Jumblekat with custom fonts & colors, I'm kind of in awe of what's been built so far. I find it quite beautiful. We really need more stuff like this, from different perspectives. In the meantime, I hope this example serves its purposes well, as it continues to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone who takes time to vote, posts awesome notes, and to everyone who has marked this experiment as a favorite. As always, thank you to fiatjaf too (who I'm not tagging because I feel like I've done that a lot lately ๐Ÿ˜…). It's a brilliant concept. Oh... Relay reviews are a thing now. I'd love to see a few more there. *wink, wink*

I decided to make a shadowbox out of some of the items I've collected this year, starting with a leaf skeleton, pressed flowers and an antler.
