Curious what NIPs Nos supports? I wrote up a list and will be keeping it up-to-date on our README:

GitHub

GitHub - planetary-social/nos: nos.social social media for all of us, using nostr

nos.social social media for all of us, using nostr - planetary-social/nos

Running Amethyst.

Just got my first Android phone. So this is how the other half lives. Or in this case it's like the other 80% :P

I spent some time looking at self-hostable crash reporting tools yesterday and decided to try sentry.io. Does anyone have experience with them? I’m especially excited about their performance monitoring tools. We have a goal with Nos to not have to say “this app shares data with third parties” on our App Store page. That means self-hosting analytics, support, crash reporting, etc. we are already self-hosting Posthog analytics and we are just using email for support right now.

Ok I’m hooked on kagi.com search. It feels like Google search circa 2016. The first result is the right one ~70% of the time. It has quickly taken over ChatGPT as my first stop for programming questions. I’ll probably drop the OpenAI subscription and put that money towards Kagi instead.

Testing photo upload from Nos…

Trying the kagi.com search engine today. ChatGPT has mostly replaced Google for programming questions for me over the past couple months. Google search seems to just keep getting worse and worse for my use case, and I already use DuckDuckGo for non-programming searches. I’ve heard several people talk about how good the Kagi results are in the past few weeks. Apparently their ranking algorithm penalizes sites with lots of adds, which cuts down on a lot of the garbage spam/AI generated results that Google shows. Does anyone here use Kagi?

Hah, typing “x.com” into Safari’s address bar just searches for the string. You have to type “https://x.com” to get to Twitter. I thought I read that one of the internet founders bought all the 1 and 2 letter domain names so no corporation could own a letter of the alphabet. Does anyone know what happened to that?

New release out with proper link previews! Now we show the same Open Graph Protocol previews that app like iMessage display. Enjoy! Full release notes: - Added link previews for urls in notes. - Added Dutch, Japanese, and Persian translations. Thanks matata, yutaro, and eru-desu! - Add a loading placeholder for note contents. - Fixed several crashes.

This is a great article from someone I met at #dwebcamp2023 that does a good job capturing the DWeb ethos and talks about how we can continue collaborating now that its over. I especially love the "Decentralization of the Tech Stack" she drew up. It touches on my favorite part about this year's DWeb camp, which was learning a lot from projects that are much stronger in the "People, Norms, and Relationships" and "Governance" layers of the stack than Nostr and most other decentralized social protocols.
