Hello and welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future of communication 🤙🏻🫂💜

2025-06-11 04:11:52

Plektos.app now has its first iteration of notification support. You'll receive notifications for RSVPs, comments and ticket purchases. You can view each notification, marking them as read, mark all as read and clear notifications.
If you refresh or reload the page, they all come back though. I assume this is a persistent local storage issue. I'll work on this soon.
Once I have the notification system down solid, I'll work on migrating it over to YakBak.app for voice replies, reactions, and zaps.
I love vibe coding.

You're right. I don't like those changes either, but saying developers don't need funding is saying that developers should maintain their software for free. That's not right either.

I don't know if this basic level of resources are available but I'll be real with you here. I would build this with AI. It's honestly so easy now. Check out getstacks.dev and MKStack. Then just tell the AI what you want. I know this isn't what you asked and if you're a developer I don't want to insult you by suggesting this either. I just know that this is the way forward.

No problem! You can generate the private and public keys offline and have them directly usable by your application. You don't need Internet access to generate them. You can then import the nsec into an extension or bunker as you suggested too.
You have to publish the profile metadata for it to be able to be read and seen by others on the network. However, once a key is discovered (generated) it's technically possible to follow it with zero metadata available anywhere.
I hope this helps.
