I wanted to send an image in a DM in #Amethyst and one year ago that was not possible.
So I added it, sent a PR and Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) merged it.
This was my first code contribution to a #Nostr related project.
It doesn't sound too special now, but back then that was the moment I realized due to the open source nature of Nostr, it's up to all of us to make this thing work.
So, ever since, I added a bunch of things to Amethyst like hashtag icons (because i actually liked and missed the #Bitcoin one from Twitter), private zaps or redeeming cashu.
I build Nostdress, a fork of fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) s satdress, so anyone with a domain can host their own nip57 zapable lightning address/nip05 and we don't need to rely on custodians.
I build the NWC umbrel app so self-hosting Nostr Wallet connect became easier.
And then, last summer I read about PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) s early suggestion for NIP90 Data Vending Machines. Coming from an AI background, this seemed like a great way to bring in the expertise of what I was doing anyways to Nostr.
So ever since I was exploring different DVMs and build an (I hope) easy to use Framework so people can setup their own DVMs and decentralize "other Stuff" services. I'm also building some showcase applications like noogle. A huge "thank you" to Opensats for supporting this project.
Nostr is alive and ever changing. I learn new things every day, and it's hard to keep up with everything that's happening. Nostr is Chaos. Nostr is Art. Nostr is beauty. But most of all, Nostr is us.
