I use AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi sys, and more nearly daily for clients and myself. I could write code to just dynamically use one of those here too. But when it comes to posting on Nostr, I am supporting the "local" #Nostr biz people like @npub1nxy…avr7. I believe there are other places who do this as well, but they are the ones I chose to use. This place won't grow if people don't support the devs developing on it. I know from my own experiences here too.

I've been toying around with product data aggregating services for a client using AI and decided to launch a series of daily deal websites partly to learn and partly to help myself find deals for items I need. There's like a billion discount sites out there, but doing it myself let's me focus on what I need. I scour online for discounts and then use AI to get me what I am looking for the most. Sharing in case anyone else also wants to find daily deals for electronics & gadgets, mini pcs & laptops, prepping supplies, toys, and baby products. Each of these topics have their own site. Mini pcs and laptops: https://bestcomputer.deals/ The other topics can be found by clicking around there. Sites update daily. #grownostr

No idea. Was a bit surprised to see the news about him selling the RFT. I get the feeling he’s just buying and flipping these to other people but I personally barely know him or what they are doing. I’m hardly involved with it at this point since he bought things.

I kept missing stuff that I would have loved to attend with my son. End up being too distracted, busy, etc. There's a finite time a kid will want to attend specific events. If they miss it that year, they may not want to go the next year as "it's for babies" etc. This was my answer for myself. Decided to turn it on for everyone else to use and help me test too.

A bunch of work stuff for clients as well as projects for myself. Testing the waters with it. Some of my stuff is local AI, others with businesses want to use paid services

In case anyone missed it. Will be sending the first round of Beta emails later this week for my new AI powered local event notifier service. US only at this time. Trying to get as many in as I can for the first testing. Yeh yeh, it's non Nostr related, GFY lol. https://socialbug.ai

Non-Nostr dev stuff: Built this for myself, but am making it available for anyone else in the US to use while I am testing it out. Ever get annoyed when you find out about an event after it happens? I built a simple email service that gathers local event details then utilizes AI to notify me weekly when upcoming events match my interests. Going to start with a limited user base, so limiting the number of testers right now. Please share this post with anyone you think might be interested.
To sign up, go to https://socialbug.ai and fill out the form. Include your email address, the nearest town or city you'd like to get events about, and a paragraph describing what you are interested in.
Curious how well this will or will not work elsewhere in the country. Just send me any bugs or issues you experience from the site or weekly emails that will probably start later next week. #grownostr

You do you man. It can be seen as a bit centralized to some since you are providing such a big funding footprint, but it's better than many who choose to not help at all. I give out Sats with everything I have built for Nostr, yet ask for nothing (nor grants) in return. Is this ideal? No. Will I go broke? Maybe someday. I'm not building clients just Nostr user experiences and providing media content that would pull in others with different interests so it rarely falls under funding radars or criteria here anyway. I just do it because I see a void that needs to be filled. Once I see no one needs it anymore, I'll stop. Seen it plenty of times over the last 30 years online.

I’m not from here, but I did once move here for a year, leave for about 1 1/2 years and then was able to come back the 2nd time. That was 20 years ago. I do recall that second move being so much harder than the first move here. Must’ve broken some major hexes or something.

Been keeping quiet and working hard on this one. Now filmmakers and musicians get paid Sats for views on Roku, Apple TV, as well as the new PWA site. Direct lightning tips are also available with each video if the artists has a lightning address and wants to receive tips. My biggest battle has been getting them to understand the benefit of BTC and Lightning. People are set in their ways or it just all scares them too much and is too complicated. I think I spend more time convincing this than on the coding itself. 🍷 #note1rc8…w550

It just feels like the same generation has been trying to crack down on new scaryInternet technologies since the 90s. This is the same generation who used to call me at ISP tech support back then panicking that they had “deleted the Internet” when they had just closed Netscape.

This is exactly what people felt when they trusted BlockFi, FTX, Celsius, Voyager, and on and on. The hands off someone else is keeping it safe for me approach. In reality, they are spending your coins. On the flip side, worrying about your house burning down, or wear you store your key phrases getting ransacked, or you getting dementia and forgetting your memorized seed words.

It won't (and shouldn't) compare to the large corporate social medias. It hasn't been around terribly long and there is a bit more of a learning curve here still compared to other places.
