Writing a book about Nostr
Ceterum censeo NIP-03 omnibus esse utendum
#asknostr
Is there a kind for ''random (text) blurps''? For my own site https://techno-ethics.com i try to only use Nostr events as the actual data, while the site is just this fancy rendered interface. On a site there are various pieces of text at places, and I don't want to use kind01 or any other kind that clients would normally fetch/display, because it would make my feed awkward.
Does such a kind exist already?
Because NIP-03 is broken as it is, we need to come up with some adjustments and what not.
While that is in progress, i figured i might come with some NIP03 usecase, so i build a game!
Its a mock-demo, so no actual OTS proofs are used, but it is mostly to test a bunch of other mechanisms.
The game is simple, you pick a faction and build a base. Each turn you spend your money on defense, economy or expansion (creating more room for economy), and defend against a wave of attackers. If your defenses are not strong enough, your economy will get hit, but stronger defenses make expansion more costly.
The various factions have some bonusses and penalties, depending on whether it is day or night, or what the weather is like.
Typically this game has 2 turns per day. When creating a character it auto-fills the gamemaster that is being used, don't change that. I will be rolling turns every now and then, so try it out!

The idea behind this all is to ultimately have some Massive multiplayer online turn-based game, where your characters history is its own thing and can move between instances. So when an instance censors you, you can go elsewhere. There are some fraud-checks to prevent basic cheating and the rest is freedom of association/WoT.
This demo is not multiplayer however, its just a singleplayer thing.
Its full of quirks and bugs, but it mostly ''works''.
Check it out, I will be running a turn in an hour, so if you submit turns before that, you should be able to do turn 2 in an hour or so.
This is cool, but 2 things:
First, this needs to be its own event kind, such that clients can search and fetch associated TTS events, for instance for clients for blind people.
Second, you need to start filtering out strings like events references 🤣
PS: that voice is terrible

There has been a lot of discussion and experimenting with onboarding flows, giving users the ability to select interest, followpacks, copying followlists etc. etc.
What if we create a NIP for ''onboarders'' with an ''onboard-pack'' if you will, where for example @Dawn or @Derek Ross could specify things like follows, relay-feeds, suggested clients and whatnot in order to define/smoothen the initial experience. New users inside the profile creation flow could search and select their onboarder and applicable onboard pack, and skip any other parts of the flow a client might have.
This separates onboarding from the client (assuming they implement this), and give people that actively onboard new users tools to shape some experience regardless of client. The 'onboarders' probably know pretty well what would suit a particular new user, either because of social circle, or context where onboarding takes place such as at a particular type of conference or gathering.
"oh we are going to the book club convention about the cross-over between high-fantasy and non-fiction clown literature, for blind people that miss their left leg, lets prep an onboardpack for that''
Then, perhaps, maybe, who knows...people start by downloading amber, set up their profile, download zapstore, initialize via amber, get 1 big button ''install suggested apps'' based on the onboard-pack, open one of those apps, connect with amber and they are set. It was explained to them what amber/a remote signer is, they notice how their new profile immediately interfaces with something like an app-store, they know that they can switch apps and know how to, and have some interesting content to interact with starting out.
I know, i know, so many steps, bla bla bla, im not one such ''onboarder'' ok? What do i know...i despise people anyway, fuck 'm.

Doing the relay sync on @Amethyst is trippy.
There is all this stuff happening, no idea what, but it looks cool
