I really wish more artists, devs, and people in general had their own website that I could follow (bookmark). Currently with everyone splitting into different platforms, it's very hard to keep track of were everyone is going. With a dedicated website you could just advertise which platforms you are on and it's always the source of truth. Secondly you could incorporate any of the technologies into your website (like Nostr). It's even harder when these new platforms are private (such as BlueSky). A feeling of lost ways :S

I know we talked about not making “just another Twitter” client - but I think it really should be a prime focus. If done well it could bring over users much more easily.

2023-07-02 10:02:00

Hoping to see more game devs and artist move over here.

When the Nostr app you built a couple months ago still works fine: 😊

Make room for a fully native cross platform Nostr app that you can download from the web (or another internet protocol).
Future looks OK if more of this happens.

I really liked Google Domains 😔

Anybody else in Oslo? Just realized there is freedom forum going on here. Maybe I can catch day 3.

I’m still around 😅 Just a bit busy. I changed it recently to only support the extension as supporting everything was a burden. It should still work as far as I’m aware - but I’ll do a check on it.

I wasn’t thinking of Nostr functionality, but that’d be neat.
I also think Nostr is highly under utilized as a global, decentralized commenting platform for any URL.

Not exactly what I was envisioning 😅

2023-04-11 00:28:44

Although I don't think I'll be getting one, I am very excited for the new Framework 16. So many expansion options including GPU. Very cool.

2023-04-09 00:26:13

A news website idea: pay to read article with Sats. Unlocked immediately with lightning and you could use your receipt/pubkey in future to keep it unlocked. Perhaps additionally have a copy of the article sent to your email.

If there are any other fellow human game devs out there on Nostr please reply to this note or reply to this note with a mention of them.
Need to get some different conversations going on in my feed.

Yea my thought is that it’s only necessary if you need to inform your user if they have a chance of killing them. But you can use other signifiers for this like damage counters.

Anyone created a favicon for Nostr to use on their website to share their socials?

Anyone have a good reasons why boss' have health bars in games? Contemplating adding it to mine.

2023-03-29 14:42:59

Currently writing a multiplayer game in Go with Ebiten engine. It's been fun to use an engine that is bare bones and doesn't provide the same frameworks as all the other engines.
Additionally using Go as a game language has been great so far, but waiting to run into hiccups (GC, etc.).

2023-03-29 14:31:09

As an experiment I disabled the search functionality on my browser to prevent myself from mindlessly searching for the website and promote a mindset of direct site access for what I really need.
This also promotes acknowledgement of using a search engine and also provoking thought of which site do I really want to use (wikipedia, ddg, amazon, godocs, etc.) to find something.
I'll see how it goes.

2023-03-28 16:51:46

I have this feeling that there are very few reasons to force/auto update software. A) Security B) Protocol Changes.
Otherwise if it's working for the user let them continue using it and update at their own discretion.
Even with those reasons, inform rather than force.

Nostr is my favorite way to get someone’s contact information.
Use QR, NFC, or URL to look up their info and you instantly have access to their email, website, lightning address, etc.

Developers should practice using 3G 90% of the time. Seems like most developers are assuming instant connections and are failing the most basic user experiences.

I'd like a search service that allows me to block certain domains such as w3schools or geeksforgeeks. Also one that is not biased to serving me content that is really just trying to make money. Current search engines are pretty poor at finding real content.
