Mind the void.

nostr-ruby meets #Manent Manage your private notes programmatically. Maybe a CLI? We'll see.

RIP Immenso Guccini.

That's really cool! Long live the small communities on Nostr. View quoted note →

#Manent for Windows is out! The notes stay private. Whatever Recall screenshotted while you typed them is between you and Redmond. Grab it from

Building it was fine. Testing it on Windows is why I'm taking the rest of the week off. View quoted note →

I've been thinking about reviewing the onboarding process of CC and similar devices, to see how seed generation is handled. My suspicion is that developers, being hardcore tech people, take dice as the obvious solution, so 1) they don't guard the workflow enough, and 2) they pay little attention to the alternative paths (and their code) that use automatic generation. The whole thing may come down to a bias/UX issue. Anyway: putting a few dice in the box, presenting a nice UI, telling a story about PoW, and asking users to take a real, physical action to secure their wallet doesn't seem too hard to pull off, and it could be quite effective. An advanced feature reframed as a cool setup ritual. For hot wallets, a similar gamification could be achieved using the camera to generate entropy, @SeedSigner style. View quoted note →

I needed a moment of relief. The fevela.me filter was helpful.

Just added linux appimage to the release:

#Manent 2.0 is here! After using Manent heavily for a few months and piling up a lot of notes, the next step made itself obvious: tag and search! The search and tagging features gave me a bit of a hard time, it wasn't easy to find a good interface, tailored to both mobile and desktop, for exposing them while keeping the user experience simple and intuitive... I hope I pulled it off. Have fun, feedback is appreciated! Install Manent from @Zapstore or download it from

Today I discovered that many public blossom servers filter uploads guessing the mine type from the magic bytes. So they're not very #Manent friendly, since it produces encrypted blobs with random headers. One more reason to have a personal relay+blossom server. Shameless suggestion, try:

I just fixed a certificate related issue in #Manent that was preventing the update via @Zapstore (it was not their fault!), so a new v1.6.0 release has been shipped only for Android. Warning: ⚠ Reinstall required No new features or fixes in this release, it only changes the signing certificate. Android can't update over your current install when the certificate changes, so you have to uninstall Manent first, then install this version. Future updates will work normally. Before uninstalling, try to Log out: it warns you if any notes haven't synced yet. If it does, cancel, wait for the sync, and check again. Make sure you can log back in too (nsec, bunker, or Amber). The "Certificate mismatch" message you find on Zapstore is normal, just Uninstall and reinstall. Sorry for the mess! :) FYI @Gigi @Chris @Stack

Remember: > If you want privacy, use a relay you trust for some reason, which is probably the least of your worries anyway because you also need to trust every participant not to leak stuff. View quoted note →

I've been told some users won't even consider an app if it doesn't have dark mode. Well, here you go: #Manent v1.5.0 is out with dark mode support (+ minor fixes). So now you're a new Manent fan? Install it via @Zapstore or download from
