I added them back to my agent coordinator so i don’t forget 😅

2026-10-07 20:42:01 GMT

with damus agentium the agents can talk to each other, read each others work sessions, and and launch sessions on each others machines, all of this coordinated via a nostr relay on the local network.

just realized i can have multiple autowork sessions going: in the handoff skill i can just say "always rebase your work after each handoff" so that you can have as many agents working at the same time as you want without worrying about conflicts

about to release “Tune Assistant”, a music assistant client for ios.
ever since i got my apollo-cast1 sendspin devices (diy sonos) for speakers, i wanted a way to control them from my phone.
tune assistant makes it super easy to control playback across all the speakers in your house. For example, group them all to airplay a track to all the speakers in your house at the same time,
Or split one off to have isolated playback on a single speaker. Demo:

built an ios app for music assistant so i can control the playback of different songs on different sendspin speakers around my house (or play the same song on all of the speakers at the same time).
wasn’t happy with the existing alternatives (they sucked).

the latest build works on mobile now and is not laggy. it also showcases a unique feature of the engine: the entire game state is saved and loaded in ~500kb, so you can close the tab and re-open it and your exact game state will be restored

i think its fine for displaying them in quoted repost / nevent references. but i'm not going to upend the kind1 architecture for no reason. if there's anything in nostr that we can rely on in that, but i guess not anymore. sigh.

something about being able to load thread roots first, so that if you somehow have 1000s of comments from all your friends it wont drown out the top level posts? a very obscure situation that basically never happens.
with limit you get all of the latest posts on the network amongst your followers, so the existing way of doing things was basically a nice little preload for free.
people just overcomplicating things because thats what people do.

blame the people trying to break something that worked completely fine for 3+ years

2026-10-01 03:40:10 GMT

its not only pointless its actively harmful and weakens the protocol. keep kind1111 to comments on other stuff imo

2026-10-01 03:38:59 GMT

its not if you're just making a kind1 client. in fact its worse because it fractures microblogging.
