Update in Nostr.Band.

If you enjoyed the 'trending today' section on the homepage, you might now view what was trending on any other day too: https://nostr.band/trending/profiles

It's in the 'Top' menu in the header. Works for people, posts, images, video and audio.

That’s why today we are calling on The Guardian to #StopThePresses 🛑

The Guardian prints over 100,000 wastepapers EVERY DAY, killing trees & causing massive environmental damage.

See demo of new image display feature coming to Damus.
quoting

Ok if you were wondering what all those metadata image tests were about:

In the next build, Damus image uploads will save blurhash and image dimensions in the post, allowing clients to use this information to put a blurry placeholder that fades into the real image when it loads. How neat is that!? This is done in a backwards compatible way so clients can ignore this if they don’t need it, and urls won’t break! Check it out:

, who spun up a no-kyc #nostr translation service shares their journey and the tools used to launch 🚀 nokyctranslate.com
quoting

Launching https://nokyctranslate.com wasn’t the first project I planned on building for / with Nostr. I only did it because many people, including myself, voiced the desire for easy, hosted translations that accepted BTC/lightning. I’m glad I did though because I’ve learned a lot and it’s going to make my next project easier to launch. Some things I’ve learned:

- kubernetes for auto scaling to handle high demand
- chatgpt can help you debug kubernetes config files
- why number and time limit of database connections matter (too many and things stop working ha)
- chat GPT is helpful for formatting html
- bootstrap is easy and looks pretty
- easiest library in python for making Nostr bots is https://github.com/davestgermain/nostr_bot and https://github.com/davestgermain/aionostr thanks @monk_cactus
- how to get liquidity to a lightning node
- how to create payments programmatically with btcpayserver
- wrote my first ever swift code getting nokyctranslate.com into damus drop down (shoutout to #[0]​ for making the code nice and easy to follow, and for guidance)

I was nervous about launching my first app and my interactions with devs and others so far has been incredibly encouraging. If you’re hesitant to launch something, I’d encourage you to just go for it!

We’re not sure which is more impressive, what Pablo is doing with Highlighter.com, the fact that he owns the domain highlighter.com, or this typo. 👀 Regardless, we are excited by these seeming endless possibilities with #nostr! 🔥🚀
quoting

through highlighter.com, my wife is starting to see the potential of nostr and she is blowing her own mind coming up with ideas of what's possible

she is now doing research for a fiction book she's writing, and today she started to use a beta version of Highlighter's Atlas Notes (not released yet)

but it's ALREADY better than Notion for what she wants to do

I am so fucking bullshit on what Highlighter is going to bring to nostr;

productivity geeks are always looking for the right tool/system because the right system hasn't existed yet, since universal content addressability hasn't been possible until now

#nostr is PERFECT for this

You can now restore wallet backups in cashu.me, but offers some words of caution. See linked note for details.
quoting

You can now restore wallet backups in cashu.me thanks to 's PR

The backup can be restored in the welcome page when you first open the wallet (with a fresh state only). You can also drag&drop the backup file in there.

Beware: this is a stateful backup (after every transaction)! We're also working on a single-seed backup from which your ecash can be restored with the help of the mint.
