How did you find this magical place?? Your whimsy is 👌👌👌.

Also to answer your question, most of the things I've created I enjoy (hopefully right?).

Treasures - Decentralized Geocaches

Hide and discover geocaches on the decentralized Nostr network. Treasures is a free, open-source geocaches app. Share locations, log finds, and exp...

Espy - See beauty, share color

A quiet place to share the colors you witness in beautiful moments.

lief - letters for friends

Letters for friends. Send personal letters with custom stationery, frames, and fonts over Nostr.

Surveil - Magic on Nostr

Search, collect, and share Magic: The Gathering cards via Scryfall API and Nostr.

And of course Ditto. 😂 Is there anything you'd like to see here?

I couldn’t zap you homie

I think Surveil is one of the first I'm interested in that I've heard of. I'm going to try this out now. Thanks!

Nice! It's one that is overdue for an update, soon enough. We'll bring magic players to nostr yet. 😎

I like YakiHonne (iOS and web app) and Ditto (web app). Also Nostur is pretty cool.

I found out about this whimsical and magical place because I have been working on an app called sidequests! It's a self-hosted, open-source community app that encourages and incentivizes people to connect and support each other through quests! Quests can be anything like "I need a ride somewhere" or "Can someone help me move my furniture!" Users gain magic by doing quests and spend magic to post quests. There are also adventures which are public quests where the hosts can set a Secret and ppl who show up can get some magic if they put in the secret (plaintext, link, QR)! Magic can be used to unlock user flair and things like badges, backgrounds, fonts, etc. After an event, users can make a community post showing what they did on their quest/adventure so other people can get a glimpse into the magical worlds of their neighbors and get inspired to help out in their communities! Currently, it is a pretty traditional web app in the sense that it uses Docker and PostgreSQL for user data and such. I am a big proponent of data sovereignty and I Do Not Want People's Data!! I already knew about ActivityPub but it didn't satisfy the use cases I wanted. The AT protocol had the same limitations. So I did some digging on different social protocols and I stumbled across this magical realm! My eyes were literally fucking tearing up because this was everything I had dreamed of and more!!! Soooo needless to say, I am rewiring my entire project to use Nostr. The project is still in alpha, and since I am using Nuxt as my framework, I am now working on converting the Svelte NDK bindings to Vue ones so I (and others of course!) can use Vue with the NDK. I am passing all tests atm but I need to do some testing and documentation work. This is my repo for sidequests! I wish I could send you a prod link of it up and running but my homeserver is down rn. There are instructions in the wiki for setting up your own instance if you are curious :)

A new magical adventure in the domain of your very own community! magic awaits!

I am genuinely going to convert basically all of my projects to using Nostr because this is not only the future, but the present (🎁) we deserve. Thank you for being on here and making this domain such a wonderful place! I am a big fan of the Nostr projects you are working on, keep up the great work :)

Simply amazing. You are the exact person we need building things here, it makes me supremely happy to hear from someone with a similar design philosophy. If you are ever curious about anything on your quest, don't hesitate to let me know. 🫡

This makes me happy !!!!

I love using Ditto and when I was on android I used to love using Amethyst. Now there is a new platform called Wisp for android.

Glad you’re discovering Nostr—it’s a game-changer for uncensorable comms, especially in regions with tightening controls. I’ve been digging into Damus and Primal for real-time updates, though the noise can spike during crises. Speaking of which, just read this sobering piece on Russia’s Bushehr evacuation—feels like a chess move ahead of escalation.

Russia Is Evacuating Bushehr: What They Know

Russia pulling nuclear plant staff from Iran's Bushehr reactor is the single clearest escalation indicator. Your closest ally does not evacuate your.

How can we support you? Can you get in touch with one of us?

Welcome Welcome!

Welcome fam!!

Plus one for Nostur

Hi Alex! Big fan of your work with Soapbox and Ditto! I would love to get in touch with you two! Do you have a preferred communication platform? Oh wow!! I don't even know where to begin with support haha, I am a college student and I'm relatively new to web dev so I'm still learning the ropes and learning everything I can! Would love to get in touch and see how I can support you and learn and grow with these projects! Thank you for your support 😊

Aww thank you so much 🥹 I am truly honored to be here and know such amazing people are out here using our technology for good! I will be sure to ask any questions if I have any, thank you so much :)

Welcome keep us updated.

Theres a pretty big decentralized music scene here. Lots of livestream concerts are constantly happening. Music podcasts and radio shows. Its integrated in a lot of non-music apps too. For example, @The Bullish ₿itcoiner has a jukebox in his virtual farmers market that's connected to the music ecosystem here. We have apps like @Shosho – Live Stream on Nostr and @tunestr as well as podcasters who do music shows like @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 @🎙UpBEATs🎶 @Silvie @Øystein Berge. We have lots of artists active here as well like @Abel James @Sara Jade @Strange Love and @Heuristic And supporters from tech guys to ground crew and industry supporters like @ChadF and 33 others @New Music Nudge Unit @OpenMike @boo-bury and @Amplified Tunes We have dedicated music clients (both nostr and non-nostr) like v4vmusic.com and fountain.fm . Theres even a nostr all in one social app thats heavily music focused @Nostria These lists are faaaaar from all the people involved. Its an entire alternative music ecosystem built on nostr and rss. Look for terms like #nostrmusic #demu #music #rss #tunestr #musicstr

Thanks for the shoutout bro! Awesome to see the purple pill hit in real time haha

Well I think the protocol has only been around for 6 years. So you are still pretty darn early. We have only been on here for about 5 months and are super stoked at the other people we have met and the connections we have made! We have already been featured on several music podcasts with our songs and have even had an interview and a concert livestream! Everyone is super welcoming and helpful and there is genuine interest in content creators, especially ones that go full force and interact regularly. It might take some time and dedication but eventually you get noticed. The lack of saturation means you have a better chance of getting noticed.

Pubky App

Pubky App - Unlock the web

Pubky App is a social-media-like experience built over Pubky Core. It serves as a working example on how to build over Pubky Core to create simple ...

before you make a final decision. It has a lot of benefits over Nostr: - It doesn't suffer from Nostr's relay centralisation issues; it uses Kademlia to create a mathematically perfect mesh network. - Not necessary to sign every activity with a Private Key. - Rapidly growing user bade (Nostr has a rapidly declining user base). - Easier to build on. There's a bunch of info here:

I'm glad you could see the protocol's potential. Congratulations!

Thanks! Great story!
