The last thing nostr needs is more half broken unmaintained proof of concept clients. You do realize that is what you’re all vibe coding, right?

all needs thing that vibe You broken of realize unmaintained you’re what clients. last coding, is right? The is do nostr more proof half concept
more non-tech people spamming MVPs and selling them as finished articles
what could go wrong
What nostr needs is less bitching about what others are doing, and more actual focus on listening to regular people and what they want.
Currently basically all devs are building for themselves and friends.
Not the general public.
I'm using AI to make it more maintainable and that turns our to not be a good vibe, so it's mostly manual work, which is why only a masochist like myself would ever do it, but
I'm legit excited reading through my lovely code, now. It's like an instruction manual.
I needed 3 different web apps to post and read this note. 😂
Q.E.D.
The problem with apps being maintained was here way before vibe coding. We’re just having fun. People who want working apps should build something monetizeable or don’t expect for it to stick around.
I mean, it's sort of nuts, as I've now put in over 70 hours, to get it to almost-do what it was doing before, but a bit neater, while everyone else is delivering, delivering, delivering.
Nah.
Family is over screens this way. Sorry.
🤷
Teaching or taking my kids to a new park, trail, etc brings me more joy than learning to code social media.
Shit ruined humans... look at us now...
Summer of 2008 was peak humanity.
i personally get tired of the endless release announcements
i'm starting to unfollow people who post or repost them way too often
if their release tempo on brand new products is that fast, is there any chance that these are quality?
my first feeling is of inadequacy, but realistically, they can't possibly be stable or even hardly tested.
the pressure to ship is a real plague for quality
We did the same in the early days of Bitcoin. The good stuff will prevail. They bad stuff nobody will remember. Just let it run and have some fun
It do be like that, tho.
We were shipping faster, for a while, trying to keep up, and now we're sluggish, cleaning up after ourselves. And there's so much more to clean up!
Being polished is an art 💜⚡️
all projects should be done carefully. you wouldn't slap together a house the way these people slap together apps. further, these are just clients, they aren't even complicated, and the languages used are extremely forgiving of errors.
you simply can't be like that with server backends that are pushing gigabytes of data around. one little error and everything falls apart.
Well, a viewer is not a model. At most, they're building application controlers, but not even that.
I'm probably taking so long because I'm revamping it to move anything SDK-related into the utilities and thinning it out. Codebase keeps getting smaller and smaller.
No more NDK or Nostr-tools dependencies, for instance.
Have said the same thing myself.
The biggest obstacle to nostr adoption isn’t feature X missing, its half-assed UX and coding standards.
yeah, i'm rewriting realy right now and it probably is going to end up being a smaller codebase too, aside from my fast codecs.
the whole private mutes business has put my ACL into disarray tho... it was being used to exclude results from queries based on the authed pubkey, i mean, really, should the relay even be sending events from muted authors? not just wasting my screen space, also wasting my bandwidth and processing decoding this trash.
yeah, disposable toys, that they get paid to build. it's so cynical and unfriendly to users
Since when does anyone on Nostr get paid for building something maintainable?
The whole culture is throw-away software.
Bitcoin was literally money, tho, so people had more incentive to stay around.
I agree - my point is exactly that. What we need is polished and fully functional clients with some type of business plan to extend beyond the MVP phase.
It’s been said before but grants break this incentive. Releasing the “next big thing” gets a lot more attention and praise than fixing bugs or adding a new feature.
Back then it was a couple of cents then dollars. Sometimes I miss those IRC days. Probably why I love nostr so much . Ofteb reminds me of that time
I have my prototype somewhere
