I'll get a demo video out, of the functionality currently being worked on, in the near term. Still buggy.

I don't know if this has been clear, but what you see on https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu is actually quite old and the https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu is even older. @npub1l40…mh7n is working with a newer version.
The #Alexandria master branch has had a lot of commits merged, since then, and we have massive dev branches with major rewrites and expansions coming up for PR #thoon.
I suspect we are now the largest Nostr project, from feature set, after Amethyst. As well as being the largest project team. Your zaps finance all of that.
And this is just the MVP. We haven't even made it to v0.1, yet, and we have an eye-watering road map to tread, after that, including major functionality for #MedSchlr. This is gonna be real, professional-quality, B2B software, folks, with the feature set to match.

Caring about quality is largely a personality trait (scrupulosity), and it's related to the inherent reluctance to highly overprice labor and goods.

China can't afford sanctions. They are an export economy and their own population is dying out. They have to export Even More Even Harder, or they collapse.

2025-05-28 05:56:11 GMT

- reply

Yes, but it's rising in an age where mechanization is on steroids. You can watch the Chinese producers struggle with their highly-efficient factories, to produce smaller numbers of products. It isn't possible. They have to flood the market with produce and destroy their own price point, or just throw half of the production into the furnace.
Same with German cars. Producing all of these cars for fewer and fewer drivers because the world population is still rising, but fewer of them are young or have families. Even building smaller cars won't solve the problem of the lack of drivers. So, it's less about the size of the population and more about the age-distribution through the populace. That's why the growth will suddenly reverse, when the oldest generation dies off en mass.

2025-05-28 05:49:47 GMT

We simply have more and niftier versions of each thing, per person. This is greater affluence, but largely through redundancy. There used to be a house phone, a house TV, a house dishwasher, etc. and everyone shared it. Those things brought productivity gains. But then they incentivized people to purchase one of each and then to move to separate houses, and the gains reversed.
Why does my family have savings, unlike most Germans? None of us ever divorced and the kids stay at home until they are married, and we share cars and kitchens and bathrooms, and there is only one TV and one grill and one big freezer. We just buy fewer things because we share things, and save the difference, because employers pay us the wages that people who need to Buy All The Things require to subsist, but we don't require those things.

2025-05-28 05:44:50 GMT

- reply

Also, the mechanization took away specialization. There used to be one woman washing the dishes for 6 people, or so. She eventually got highly efficient at it. Now, there are 7 people, all in a different home, washing their own dishes.
And all of them need a dishwasher and a sink and dishes. So, you need 7 dishwashers and 7 sinks and 7 sets of dishes and 7 humans. Where you used to need 1 of each. So, the economic growth came from selling all of that excess stuff. But now, those things exist and the number of humans are declining. The factories keep pumping out the dishwashers, and they just sit around in the warehouse and eventually get written-off and crushed... and turned into more dishwashers. LOL

We already have filter-free vacuum cleaners and LEDs are not light bulbs. I'm just saying that everything will eventually be like that.

2025-05-28 05:34:31 GMT

- reply

I mean, think about the dishwasher, the washing machine, and the vacuum cleaner. Did they bring significant human productivity gains?
Nope. We just bought more dishes, more clothes, and bigger houses. And then we went to work to buy more highly-automated versions of them, and to purchase even more dishes, clothes, and house. The same type of work is being done, in the amount necessary for one household (and there are fewer people and more things and floor space in the household). Is the shifted labor more productive? Probably not, as it took women out of the home and collapsed the birth rate, and human production is the most-useful production.

2025-05-28 05:25:54 GMT

- reply

Irrelevant to the fact that they can continue this, indefinitely, because the machine will continue to rise in productivity and efficiency, and human productivity and demographics will decline in the interim period, so that they can't simply go back to having humans do it.
The machines are increasingly competing against other machines, rather than against humans. The most-efficient machines will monopolize a market, the others will give up, and then the winning machines can earn a profit.
People think Bitcoin fixes this, but it doesn't. Bitcoin just keeps humans treading water a little bit longer.

2025-05-28 05:20:53 GMT

- reply

Future vacuum cleaners won't have a filter to clean. Modern fire alarms don't have batteries. You won't need to know how to change a light bulb because there will be no lightbulbs.
Everything is going to end up completely over-mechanized and over-robotized, but once people have gotten used to that, they never go back. The person who never learned to chop veggies and cook soup, won't retire at 65 and learn to chop veggies and cook soup. His brain will have completely atrophied, by then. He will be living off of factory-made pudding.
That's why people like me look smarter and smarter and have a higher and higher productivity advantage: we learned to do everything manually, so we get how things work, and we don't have to waste money on unnecessary machines, and we are better about using the machines available and maximizing their capacity. We didn't change; everyone else did.

How many people eat prepared foods, frozen pizza, etc. Did they buy it at the self-checkout? And did machines build the food, in a big factory that only have a few industrial mechanics standing around?
Robots harvested, washed, cut, packaged, and sorted the veggies on the pizza. The dough came out of the dough machine. It was all put together and packaged by another robot, which sent the box on the rollbahn to the trucks, where a different robot loads them on the trucks. And the trucks largely drive themselves, now. At the other end... it's everything, everywhere.

And we see no limit to the number of robots being purchased. We see the opposite: robots standing around, often idle, because there aren't enough human customers to take up the produced goods and services.
Idle robots are everywhere, already. Most robots are idle, most of the time. The capital gets trapped in the robots and the humans just sit around and get fat or hang out at the gym all day.

Your entire existence will become devoid of thought and reflection. You can't just retire and get away from this. Retirement will make it so much worse.

Humans don't breed, when they're depressed, tho. They were only cheap, for a while, because they were increasing in number, but the supply is collapsing at an exponential rate. AI will just speed that up. A lot.
Also, there's so much unused capital lying around, while the population collapses, that is desperately looking for someplace to invest. And that includes Bitcoin capital. Money actually doesn't have any point, unless you eventually spend it or your children do (and how many people have no children).
All office and service workers will be hit. All manufacturing will be hit. All extraction will be hit. I probably see this, more than most people, as I live in a place full of engineers trying to fully-automate farming and mining, and etc.

People will want to substitute the work at their job with work outside their job, to escape the AI depression, but that will no longer be an option, as all work will melt away.
I hear a lot of talk about office jobs disappearing because of AI, but AI robotics and smart mechanics is also hitting the market, hard. Machines are washing the dishes, mowing the lawn, checking on the baby, cooking the dinner, etc. It's just going to be humans standing around, in a sea of clever machines, bored out of their minds.
On the upside, it gives them more time to be propagandized or entertained. On the downside, they'll completely abandon reproduction, and eventually there will only be the machines.

Yeah, I got to thinking about this, when I built the gitcitadel.com login, with Npub, browser extension, Amber, and Bunker methods in it.
There are higher and lower-levels of permissions, dependent upon use case:
lurking: no permissions, just build a non-crappy client and default to a good relay
customized settings: npubread-only
casual interactions: anon logins
publishing notes under your own npub or using a write-protected relay: signer
Before performing any action, we should only ever be checking that they have the minimum level of permissions required for that action.
Make sure that someone who is lurking can zap or send emoji. Make sure someone logged in with npub can use their favorite relays and filter according to their own lists. Etc.
Until now, everyone has been doing this backward, sometimes even requiring "logging in with nsec" to see ANYTHING. So, the debate has all been about frontloading settings and sending invites, but this is actually a Nostr antipattern. You don't need to send someone an invite, for them to see what you see. Just send them your npub and tell them to login with that. Then we could have a button, "Create a new npub, with settings just like this one or define new settings." and they could click it and be done.
Or just send them a link to the website because it's a motherfucking website and you can just go there and do stuff, off the bat.

Want to leave a comment.
Click "Copy naddr" button.
Paste into field in browser extension.
Add come comment in an input field.
Click submit.
Comment signed by extension and published to outbox relays.
Add a zap button, an emoji button, and the ability to write kind 01 or kind 1111 and you're done. 99.99% of users will never need to login to an app again, especially if they can easily login npub-only.
Then the apps compete on having features cool enough, to make signing an event with your own worthwhile. The ability to edit and publish complex documents, play video games, use a cool search engine or API, etc.
Most apps aren't actually worth logging into, but they're so badly designed, that they're hard to use, if you aren't logged in. So, don't log in.

The goal should be apps that are interesting and fun to use, and interactive and social, all day, every day... without logging in. Apps based around follow lists are designed to _force you to login_. This is a legacy method to collect your usage data and control access, to get around things like VPNs (which are increasingly blocked).
Wanna read an interesting, relevant-to-you feed?
Don't log in.
Wanna zap someone, comment, highlight, or react to their note?
Don't log in.
Wanna checkout entire books or magazines, share documents or videos, and even download them to your local device, to read later?
Don't log in.
Just don't log in, and do it, anyway.
Here's how you onboard people to Nostr:
Give them a hyperlink to click or an app to download. They open it. They use it. They enjoy it. But they do not login.

Our data will be in three completely different relay systems run by three completely different relay admins, and the data set is public, so whatever.
People worry too much about the code and too little about being failsafe and redundant.
Did you see Coinos, this week? Open-source, but no recent backup. 🙄

Well, it is rather high. 🤷🏻‍♀️
But everyone has their special skill set, so I try to tap into that.

Semi will shit on anything he didn't build. Doesn't matter what you run.
Unless he FOSSes it, and you run it and give him a cut. Then he'd be like

With me, you just have to worry that I'll perform so many tests that I'll develop a mental map of your architecture and reverse-engineer it. 😁
But, like, what's the point, if I can't run it? Running it, is the hardest part, not writing it.

Yo, Semi, I don't care, either way. I'm used to blackbox testing, so the idea that I need to see the source, to know what software does, just strikes me as completely retarded.

They can't update it without you. LOL Total captured audience. Look at how they all sit around and wait for strfry updates, and that's softball code, in comparison.
@npub1wqf…qsyn was initially nervous about FOSSing everything, but I was like, yo, bro, don't nobody understand WTF you're doing. 🤣
People don't know shit about fuck, anymore. Totally helpless

Well, there's a benefit to everyone switching to your codebase.
I'm rather indifferent to the open-source debate, since nobody reads the source anyway. Well, except you. 😂 That's why you worry about it, as you're projecting.

Strfry is a Nostr cargo cult. 😂 That whole situation is so bizarre.

Well, yeah, but it doesn't solve for gross incompetence or indifference, on the part of the "developers".

Well, it looks like I've found out why you haven't heard of it. I've been regularly posting links to pretty Lumina galleries, and I know you sometimes see my posts. But Primal swaps the links out, so you can't see them. 🥴

I'm constantly surprised at how bad app quality is, and not just on Nostr, and it just gets worse and worse...
Apps have never looked so good and worked so bad.

#NostrElite in my feed, all day, every damn day:
We don't need developers, anymore. Users are just going to vibe-code everything and then the AI will take over.
Exact same #NostrElite:
We need more builders. Why aren't more people enthusiastic about becoming software developers?
Reminds me of how they constantly taunted professional drivers with how the self-driving trucks were going to make them obselete, and now it's a decade later and they're like
WHERE DRIVERS?

GM @nprofile…2l20
Some feedback on #lumina:
1. It's way faster. I don't know what you changed, but I used to have to wait a second or two to page, and loading the pictures was extremely slow, and now I sense no lag.
2. The statistics page is the only slow one. Should probably be cached, and updated server-side into static pages, as the data doesn't change very often.
3. Everything is spread out uncomfortably wide on my laptop screen. Avoid displaying text at a width wider than a book, as the human eye can't track well across an entire monitor. And when I click on the buttons on the bottom, like to view the raw event, then I have to open it on the right-side of the screen and close it on the left, which isn't very ergonomic. Only the gallery should fill the horizontal space, not the menus, modals, text headers, etc.
4. The GitHub button is cute. Made me grin.
5. Dark-mode is fine. Light-mode is too white. Hurt my eyes and distracted from the pictures.
6. The "Load more" button should probably load a lot more. Have to click it to see the next one or two images, and some people have hundreds of images.
7. Anything with a Nostr address like "#note17s8…mcdw..." (naddr, npub, nprofile, note, nevent) needs to be rendered properly and turned into a hyperlink to that item.
8. #hashtags need to be visually different from normal text and from hyperlinks (unless they are themselves hyperlinks, to a hashtag view or something).
9. Love the trending hashtags view.
10. When I click on notifications, it's loading the ones from May. When I click on a reaction, it takes me to the note that received the reaction. Expected to be taken to the npub that made the reaction, when clicking on their profile, but it also takes me to the note.
11. More tool-tips and explanatory text in the headers would help, as I click on the feed and see pictures, but I have no idea how those pictures are selected. Are they coming from my relays or my follows or..?
12. Uploading went smoothly. Would it be possible to add nostr.build to the blossom servers?
13. Changed my profile from the settings and that worked and rendered on the other clients, immediately.
14. See that you've got a Nostr registration, now, which is cool.
*I didn't notice any major bugs. Everything worked as expected.*
Feels good to write that about a Nostr client. 😊
I leave everyone who managed to get this far, with the link to my #lumina gallery.

Yeah, doesn't work. Shame.
At least I don't have a lot of money in it.

It's the year 2025 and I've been a programmer for 27 years, and I'm giving up and learning Javascript... from a book. And it's really fun. 😂

Have a spec review. Everyone jump in and rewrite.
Have a code PR. Everyone push changes.
Testing phase. Everyone hack at everything.

Extreme extreme programming.

I'm not actually a developer. I'm a tester.
I feel like I'm increasingly stuck in lots of different roles that I'm not actually specialized in, but software development is increasingly full stack or vibing, and nothing in between.
Chaos.
