Seeing this was a pleasant surprise =] nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq0mhp4ja8fmy48zuk5p6uy37vtk8tx9dqdwcxm32sy8nsaa8gkeyqyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqs8eehrhtsh38wcv3h5sq9vl5wzkue2h799dn85rqu6lq4rkwza9ygc5edlr

Could it be possible to improve user retention by making Nostr web apps work **without** a browser extension? Help me test this vision by uploading your static (nostr) websites at https://44billion.net. Sign in/up then click on the (n)app icon with a big "N" (a Napp store) where you can upload them. Hint: Before uploading, you could add some code to your napps to support auto-login. You just need to get the logged-in user's pubkey on load by calling `const userPk = await window.nostr.peekPublicKey()`, which returns the pubkey without prompting the user.

oh hooo dude, let me tell you: bending passkeys for storing and retrieving nostr keys does work! browser extensions no more. very soon!

This week I tested it with Jumble's source code and after some bug fixes... it works perfectly! Yeah you can upload anyone else's code easily or just use official Jumble, if the Jumble's dev chooses to upload it. Later, there will even be a 'draft' release channel if say a vibe coding platform wants to upload and show a preview before really publishing a vibe coded app to the 'main' channel. 1 or 2 weeks tops to finish and integrate the signer module and it's ready for demo. \o\ nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzplrsshpc8wn3w3tsf0wpcmhu7latqxt4q809nrz7d3fh4s9n9fxtqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcqyzusva38gxqz9uj8998et2v5v2ta5u7866jfry5kf5em6yt5hy72k4dwlum

oh the web! a popover is opened with a custom longpress event. when the touch/click is released, the browser-controlled backdrop receives a pointerup event and immediately auto-closes the popover. All cool, except that the pointerup event isn't exposed to the js, thus can't be canceled. damn, these kinds of unimportant problems keep slowing me down.

"Google will require developer verification for Android apps OUTSIDE the Play Store." Starting with Brazil. This is full KYC: phone number, home address and name. On Play Store, besides the KYC, they already remove apps for arbitrary reasons. Conclusion: Web is the only viable platform left. https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/25/google-will-require-developer-verification-for-android-apps-outside-the-play-store

To my 2 anon backers from the failed geyser campaign (lol i think it was nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqg4waehxw309ahx7um5wfjkc6t5v4ejummjvuq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqg0waehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmdqyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaek7arjdaejuctswqqzp3nq8v83enlvvfwecz9h20j0wa827lgu7fmfygcjtd0afknjsqv7rrld7p and nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj76twvfhhstnjv4kxz7tn9ekxzmnyqyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmdqqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8g9gy2m7?) and to those watching from the shadows I'd like to say that the PoC works very well. 44billion is gonna happen eventually. For those who didn't get the first time, 44billion is probably similar to the notedeck thing from the Damus guy. But better because web developers already know how to build an app for it... an app is just a good'ol static website. I already have multi-user, multi-column, multi-workspace UI done although very raw. It uses my new, shiny and fast front-end framework with signals. Many bugs on that lib were surfaced when using it for this project, which was a good thing. App "installation" concept works although I need to start using my bundle event spec and work on the manual app update option. There's a new upload spec to code too. Login is another module that I need to revisit but most of it was already done and working though I will maybe add frost support. Yeah much work to do, little money (32k sats from campaign xD thx) and nothing online to show yet. And damn how I hate those opensats posts about grants for crap apps nobody wants, maintains nor use lol I accept thumbs up emojis for motivation.

**Remember Facebook when it had all those cool micro apps and games?** Let's do it using Nostr instead of closed platforms! 😜 Less than three hours left to kickstart the campaign at https://geyser.fund/project/44billion/prelaunch?hero=arthurfranca ...or let the idea die... New goal perk added there to shake things up! I'm sure javascript devs would be interested in this part.
