8. A meeting with 8 people
quoting

recap #PurpkeKonnektiv Berlin 💜
The weather was fine, little bit rainy but also sunshine ☀️ The day was very spontaneous from the beginning, because the cafe we have reserved a table was mysteriously closed!! 😂 So we grabbed some coffee and sat outside until everyone arrived. We were 8 people so it wasn't completely impossible to find another place to sit and eat. It made the whole day a little more dynamic, at least! We finished our day in a little Italian restaurant. I think 8 people was perfect for the day when you just want to sit in some restaurant or cafe and talk.

It's awesome to be part of Nostr right now and meet people that feel the same. 💜🫂

Now we will start planning a meetup for the last week(end) in august! It will be in southern germany and 2-3 days long. Join us, more information following soon on 🚀💜

#4 🎓 Educational Guide

1. How to use article editor
quoting

Hey Nostr, the Primal Article Editor is here!

Our goal was to build a feature-rich, rock-solid long form note editor that interoperates perfectly with other Nostr long form apps like Highlighter, Habla, and Yakihonne.

It’s a complex product with a lot of moving parts—not easy to nail on the first try. We think we got pretty close. Try it out and let us know what you think. We’ll keep improving it until it’s tip-top. 🫡
