Took me a while, but my free weekly local AI event reminder service is available to Nostr users finally. It's a super basic setup, but it works. I’ve been enjoying what it sends me prepping for Halloween with my kid soon. Sign up on the site using a Nostr extension, fill out your preferred details, and you'll get a weekly DM containg local event notices based upon your interests. It is sent every Tuesday morning. Sorry, but it is only for US based locations. #grownostr #AI #events

Now! I started on it but never finished it. Just didn’t get much request for it at the time so I got distracted elsewhere. Email may be stupid but I got a much bigger response from email users to focus there. LMK if you want me to delete your email version. It’s a simple setup. Just go to the site and login using an extension. Then fill out your info. Next week you’ll get a DM with the details.

I use AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi sys, and more nearly daily for clients and myself. I could write code to just dynamically use one of those here too. But when it comes to posting on Nostr, I am supporting the "local" #Nostr biz people like @npub1nxy…avr7. I believe there are other places who do this as well, but they are the ones I chose to use. This place won't grow if people don't support the devs developing on it. I know from my own experiences here too.

I've been toying around with product data aggregating services for a client using AI and decided to launch a series of daily deal websites partly to learn and partly to help myself find deals for items I need. There's like a billion discount sites out there, but doing it myself let's me focus on what I need. I scour online for discounts and then use AI to get me what I am looking for the most. Sharing in case anyone else also wants to find daily deals for electronics & gadgets, mini pcs & laptops, prepping supplies, toys, and baby products. Each of these topics have their own site. Mini pcs and laptops: https://bestcomputer.deals/ The other topics can be found by clicking around there. Sites update daily. #grownostr

I kept missing stuff that I would have loved to attend with my son. End up being too distracted, busy, etc. There's a finite time a kid will want to attend specific events. If they miss it that year, they may not want to go the next year as "it's for babies" etc. This was my answer for myself. Decided to turn it on for everyone else to use and help me test too.

A bunch of work stuff for clients as well as projects for myself. Testing the waters with it. Some of my stuff is local AI, others with businesses want to use paid services

Non-Nostr dev stuff: Built this for myself, but am making it available for anyone else in the US to use while I am testing it out. Ever get annoyed when you find out about an event after it happens? I built a simple email service that gathers local event details then utilizes AI to notify me weekly when upcoming events match my interests. Going to start with a limited user base, so limiting the number of testers right now. Please share this post with anyone you think might be interested.
To sign up, go to https://socialbug.ai and fill out the form. Include your email address, the nearest town or city you'd like to get events about, and a paragraph describing what you are interested in.
Curious how well this will or will not work elsewhere in the country. Just send me any bugs or issues you experience from the site or weekly emails that will probably start later next week. #grownostr

You do you man. It can be seen as a bit centralized to some since you are providing such a big funding footprint, but it's better than many who choose to not help at all. I give out Sats with everything I have built for Nostr, yet ask for nothing (nor grants) in return. Is this ideal? No. Will I go broke? Maybe someday. I'm not building clients just Nostr user experiences and providing media content that would pull in others with different interests so it rarely falls under funding radars or criteria here anyway. I just do it because I see a void that needs to be filled. Once I see no one needs it anymore, I'll stop. Seen it plenty of times over the last 30 years online.

Yeh. I built one of the earlier Internet chat services called StarVoice Chat that boomed worldwide pretty fast in the mid 90s. I had the idea to make a zine about a lot of the music being posted on it. That rolled into a Goth zine and a metal zine. There’s a huge bunch of history that to me is like pre historic Internet. Most of its references are long gone now. “Before Wikipedia” lol. Kinda wild to think back to it.

Originally, you could start a personal game by tagging the npub and including the words "start game". Interest in personal solo games started strong then tapered off after a while so I disabled it a couple of months ago. I can certainly turn it back on if there was enough interest again.
