Yumyume - version 0.2.0 @yumyume, the Nostr-based social bookmarking tool, just got a flavorful update. This release introduces a global feed, allowing users to explore all shared bookmarks in one place, enhancing discovery and engagement. The update also brings a brand-new logo, designed by @BitPopArt, giving Yumyume a fresh and more recognizable identity. There was version 0.1.1 release also in this week. Looking ahead, the team is working on a custom event kind in the 1000-10000 range to enable editable bookmarks, improving how signed bookmarks per URL function beyond the limitations of NIP-51. The developers invite the Nostr community to collaborate on refining this feature. The concept is from @Jurjen de Vries.

So it's more like the internet itself, like HTTP, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, that allows you to read and interact with websites. There's no company that owns that technology.” Author: @plantimals #quote_nostr_recap
