Interesting! How do you see this? Show users a "JOIN" button somewhere so that this start.njump.me would open up, and when user is done ask them for the bunker url to connect to their keys?

Published [email protected], now apps using it's latest version should all work with FROST bunker urls - nostr.band, npub.pro, nostrapp.link etc.

nostr-login widget is a drop-in nip07 provider - you can add 1 line of code and users can sign in with extension, nsecbunker, signup locally, etc. might be a great temporary solution until you dive deeper and maybe build something custom https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-login/

@npub1cgd…kfex Hi! Would you consider adding nostr-login widget to formstr? I'm trying to use it but don't have an extension

2024-10-23 07:44:26 GMT

@npub1n0s…lahe Hi seems like Nostur isn't adding 'a' tag when user comments on a 30023 event. This causes inconsistent behavior, some apps don't show the comment. Also if author edits the 30023 then your comments won't be visible anywhere.

2024-10-14 17:12:14 GMT

Does nostr fix this? Depressing af:
"All of which is why we may soon be entering a golden age for truly psychotic totalitarian regimes. The Kim Il-Sung of the future won’t need an army of peasants expecting tile roofs if he has an army of killer robots, and ChatGPT is much cheaper than a full-time propaganda minister. Depending on how good AI gets, it will sharply reduce the number of people required to run an effective regime. In the limit, you can imagine a single mad king with no human servitors at all, just a computer as his grand vizier. There would be no limit to how brutal or crazy this guy could get, no limit to what he could do to his populace for fear of triggering a revolt amongst his own bodyguards."

Sql works with indexes, without them it won't help. To add proper index you add single letter tag. If you want joins then all you are asking is for relay to bear the weight for you. Just denormalize your data, add a tag, and make life easy for both sides

Hi I've fixed it, there was a real mess with your sites somehow, need to improve that stuff. Your site is now available under your domain. Could you please go to Theme settings and change the "Logo" - the one specified now is broken, and this Logo isn't editable in general Settings so you probably missed it. Will fix this too. Thanks!

2024-10-11 07:22:32 GMT

Normally you'd just enter your username to the client and it would open the connection screen of nsec.app. If client is asking for "bunker url" (or just not allowing username) then go to nsec.app, open Connect app modal, choose "Advanced" and copy "bunker url". The "connection string" is nostrconnect:// string which most apps don't yet support.

Great input! I was wondering where exactly Substack gets those extra subscribers - all it can do is build a great app (which creators could do for themselves) and then just toss around those same readers that creators themselves already attracted. Unless they do paid marketing, which I bet creators could do better if they wanted to.

Sorry to hear that. It looks like you've chosen "Long-form posts" in settings, not "Notes", and you don't have any long-form content on nostr. Could you please change settings to "Notes"?

2024-10-09 20:15:33 GMT

- reply

I see the issue. It looks like you've attached your domain to an old deleted website (that event seems to not have been deleted from relays). Could you please try attaching your domain to your main mikemonty.npub.pro ? It should give you all the same DNS settings so you won't need to change them, just go through the UI and "save".
Thanks for trying it and finding this edge case! We need to handle this well.

Removing READ MORE should be easy with code injections - try this:
<style>
.post-footer .post-more {
display: none;
}
</style>
It's much harder to add reaction/zap counts - existing themes don't support that. I understand that it's a pretty common feature that people would expect to have eventually, so it's on the roadmap, but we haven't figured out an elegant way to achieve that yet.
Thanks!

15 seconds might be for the self-hosted client-side-rendered version. I agree it's very slow, and it can and will be improved, it's just not our priority at the moment.
Our architecture is quite different from Nostrudel, our pages need the full data set loaded to generate proper HTML using a theme, vs Nostrudel that has no themes and can update parts of the page while receiving new events and thus can start showing you stuff much faster. We also have much higher expectations for coverage - if Nostrudel misses some events you won't notice and won't be too mad, if we don't show one of your posts on your site - you will 100% notice and report a bug. So we can't just copy what Nostrudel and others do, we have to figure out our own way of loading the necessary data as fast as possible.
We'll get there, but it will take a while.

Hi, I understand. It's awesome how you're experimenting with the collaborative blogs!
I agree that content management there can be a challenge and it's not even clear how to do it right:
1. You might want to specify included hashtags per author - different for every npub.
2. You might want to "map" some hashtags to others on the site - your proposal above.
3. You might want to be able to edit metadata of each post to "reassign" it's hashtags etc.
4. You might want to just manually add all the posts you need without relying on hashtags for filtering.
The last 2 points seem like the most versatile - you can achieve anything that way. But it's a manual process.
And automated options usually have limitations - eventually you'll want even more customized filtering.
I'm happy to explore these options with you to figure out the best way to build collaborative blogs!

Yes that's possible! Although zap splits are only convenient when you have extension or NWC wallet connected. In the future we plan to experiment a lot with zap splits and built-in ecash wallet, there are many things to explore including creating incentives for curators with zap splits etc.

Relays only search for exact match. So for us to find a post, general rule is would need to specify exact unicode string. But there might be exceptions - some clients would add uppercase and lowercase version of the tag you post, which distorts the picture and makes you think that things work some times but not others.
It's a complex problem across apps, so for now please include exact tags.

Great question! We could do that right now selectively manually using code injections. Ghost themes do have some support for internationalization, but we haven't used them and will take a while to figure things out here. That's on a longer-term roadmap.
