Do you mean @npub1d3e…6a5e?

Super nice, adding it to the next batch. THANKS!

I agree. As long as the term limits are not too strict.
Learning the rules and intricacies of politics and administrations takes time.
I personally don't see anything wrong with career politicians that preserve their integrity, accountability, and remain connected to society.

Nostr prompted me to redesign my entire online presence:
- Personal website: Built using @npub1pr4…mkzp, it aggregates long-form articles published with @npub1w0r…cu4x, and it uses a custom domain courtesy of @npub1xdt…ntxy.
(https://marco.barulli.it)
- Contact page: While still hosted on Github, it now embeds a contact form created with @npub1qu7…7p98, an amazing Nostr-based form builder service
(https://mbarulli.github.io)
- X/Twitter, Facebbok, and LinkedIn: I've pinned posts announcing Nostr as my new home. This is also my advice to you: don't delete your existing social media accounts, keep them active to direct your audience to Nostr.

Hi Trey,
after joining Nostr, my initial impression was that everybody was only talking about Bitcoin and Nostr.
However, I've since discovered a more diverse ecosystem.
To highlight this diversity, I've decided to start a weekly post featuring the most interesting non-Bitcoin, non-Nostr accounts I've encountered.
Here are the last two selections:
note18qqdr9z26mpzduz7x4frzq5wg8u6ulevau2uzwtlrqpjmp65fdpqyf5wt8
note1vl5vj0yw4zymmdwcd897q2quezd57fq2rpg29u7fzpvvpl2tpgys5fr0nd
I hope you'll like them!

I am not sure that the effort and the pleasure of discovering small gems, and sharing them could be substituted with an algorithm.
I like the idea of growing my network on Nostr in a slow, personal way. Following suggestions from people I already trust, or randomly wandering from one npub to the next. 😉

Totally loving your product. I'd love to use it both for personal and business websites.
However, I'm a bit puzzled by the immutability of Nostr's content. Fixing a typo, or refining the content of an article is impossible and the tag-based filter does not provide a viable solution to include the updated content while excluding the older version of it.
Am I missing something here? Many thanks!

"What those who want to "tokenize the world" are really looking for is truly robust and decentralized market places that combine open-source-censorship-resistant-distributed-money (bitcoin) with open-source-censorship-resistant-distributed-communications/distribution protocols (Nostr, RSS, Bittorrent, HTTP, etc.). Civ Kit seems to be an example of just this."

How about a logo for Nostr? Everyone can contribute to the Nostr ecosystem and create the visuals they like. And I love that!
However, I believe having a recognizable logo could be beneficial for the Nostr community as a whole!
I asked designer Andrea Nicolini (aka Bembureda, https://bembureda.dribbble.com), to create a logo and an icon for Nostr. I think he did an amazing job! Don’t you think so?

Wow, thanks!
Much, much better!
There is only one major glitch: a lot of white space before or after the note.
My guess is that this is caused by the removal of notes preceding or following the actual note to be displayed.

Yes, correct. However, resizing just moves UI elements around. Good enough for personal use, but not for public pages where the embed/widget should do a better job presenting the note content only, without scrolling iframes, replies underneath, etc.

2023-05-09 08:21:04

Hi!
I've attached screenshots of embedded links from iris.to snort.social, and one from Twitter as a comparison.
As you can see, embeds from Iris and Snort show many UI elements that are not necessary since the goal is just to display the content of a specific Nostr note in a Notion page.
Here is a link of how embedding works in Notion.
https://www.notion.so/help/embed-and-connect-other-apps
There is a growing set of supported app, that results in very clean and nice widgets. Any web page may be embedded just entering its URL, but usually (as for Nostr notes) the results are suboptimal.
Many thanks!

Argentina’s central bank just banned payment services facilitating crypto transactions. (https://bcra.gob.ar/Noticias/proveedores-servicio-pago-no-pueden-operar-criptoactivos.asp)
Nothing new and unexpected, but I loved this passage:
"Interested persons must carry out the operation by themselves."
(Spanish: "Las personas interesadas deberán realizar la operación por su cuenta.")
So central bank are now inviting citizens to self-custody their bitcoins. Nice!

2023-05-07 15:53:33

Is there a simple way to embed a Nostr note into Notion?
Embedding a link gives poor results no matter which Nostr web client is used, since UI elements and replies will spoil how it is rendered.
I love the clean widget provided by https://embed.nostr.band/
Unfortunately, that code can't be used in Notion, since it can only digest links.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
