This is the biggest nostr success story. Zapstore is so cool, use it everyday.

I see so many fly by night apps on the zapstore feed, I figured there was no WoT being used. So npub reputation doest mean much.

That's why what we build needs to be decentralized enough to not require maintainence.

2026-07-04 11:02:09 GMT

Hmm, one of the nostr apps I use keeps nuking my profile meta data. Kinda annoying.

2026-06-24 09:34:15 GMT

Is it weird Zapstore is my favourite Nostr app? I like the social apps but I check the zapstore daily.

No information or repo on how to install a http router and/or gateway.. current 5chan board is single centrally hosted UI, if I run a second one the users only see the manually "github curated" server chosen by the devs.
Does the 5chan web ui contain all the p2p/pubsub etc code? Is it reimplemented with every web app that gets released?
Interesting project, wish them all the best. But would need to see some actual decentralization demonstrated before taking it more seriously.

2026-05-03 04:25:27 GMT

Looks like @nprofile…04a2 & @nprofile…fgr3 are starting to crank out some impressive apps based upon #hashtree
Blossom is a fantastic base layer for storing content, simple to implement, easy to understand. Hashtree adds significant complexity but also the ability to create some really cool apps on decentralized data.

2026-05-03 04:05:07 GMT

@nprofile…04a2 Can you give me a bit of a background on Scionic Merkle trees and Hashtree? I saw iris.to was at some point in time using scionic merkle trees but now you have launched hashtree.
Obviously you saw some shortcomings with the scionic approach?

So ngit/grasp basically stores git repos on your own (and other) servers, but indexes them all on nostr. Hashtree uploads the repos to blossom servers but uses the same nostr events to index.
ngit/grasp easy to reason about, easy to implement, easy to setup locally.
Hashtree.cc interface is very nice, maybe hard to setup locally? A lot of technical implementation details to replicate across platforms. Free Blossom servers about to receive a lot more content/bandwidth usage.

Very interesting project. A LOT of technical details and quite a complex implementation.

I ask because meshcore has a lot of people deploying hardware and investing time growing the network, if fips could be an additional overlay you might get a boost to adoption. But yeah, its a very slow transport, and any system spamming hundreds of packets to send a cat pic might upset some.

Because many countries are now mandating age verification by law across social apps. UK & Australia being two more recent examples.

Same, if I asked them to switch again they would tell me to fuck off and then they would revert to WhatsApp. I try to tell people that they really want to be on as many varied chat apps as possible. If they aren't on 3 or 4 then they need to install more :)

Nostr users should make a conscious effort to add a handful of new follows per week to help with integrating newcomers. If we don't then the handful of static followers you have will slowly drop over time as people leave.

I think forking AOSP once google changes it to the point of incompatibility, and going it alone from there. Maybe even having to stick to a release version indefinitely if no resources to maintain.

They can only enforce this on centralised platforms. Nostr is safe, although we might want to start utilising Tor & i2p a lot more, get ready for when everything needs to be onion routed.

Like most people, I have my issues with NPM. But this is a big problem for any platform that hosts large amounts of code. You can't verify that much code for vulnerabilities. Fdroid is probably the most successful at any sort of scale.

I think "for certified devices" is the key there. If you unlock / de-certify / graphene should be OK. Problem is high trust apps like banking apps will immediately demand certified only

If I want to add a unique feature/API to a Nostr relay is it better to create a new Kind and pass in the contents as a new event and the relay can process it, thereby being compatible with all relays?

Youtube and twitter since Elon took over. Technically any video hosting site is great, just YouTube was the biggest.
The cool thing is videos are hard to manipulate the context, you get to see the body language, the unfiltered words as they are spoken.
