It's so cool to see you all posting and trying it out and it actually kind of works sometimes?! Thank you everyone for being so bullish on #Bookstr! 📚
I know there's still a lot to fix and a lot of improvements to be made, but not bad for three days of robot labor! 🤖

Presenting... 📚 https://bookstr.xyz, a simple Goodreads alternative built on Nostr!
This is an extremely basic prototype that only barely works (user beware!). However, I think it highlights what is amazing about building on Nostr. I was inspired by this post, and then able to build a client in 3 days almost entirely with AI.
The opportunity to bridge social behavior with "other stuff" (in this case, books via Open Library API) is huge. This concept could work for any type of content, not just books. Music, Movies and TV, games, etc. — all on Nostr.
The process of building on Nostr with AI also demonstrated a few gaps in the ecosystem where AI-ready tools were missing or failing, so there is definitely opportunity to grow there.
Shout out @nprofile…llke who had many of these ideas first, helped me with lots of the Nostr event specifics, and solved a couple bugs!
Overall, I'm extremely impressed by what can be done with AI on Nostr and all the doors this will open! I'm excited to keep working on this. #bookstr #GrowNostr #AI #Nostr

I agree. Bots should serve a specific purpose, and that does not include "pretending to be human for fake engagement."

I've started adding self-hosted #Ditto communities to the Soapbox @nprofile…r5rp website.
It's so awesome to see how people have already started to build Nostr communities around their shared language or nationality!
- Arabic community on Nostr: https://seewaan.com
- Croatian community on Nostr: https://cvrkut.com
- Brazilian community on Nostr: https://cobrafuma.com
(If you are hosting a community we don't know about yet and want to be featured, let me know! )

We don't have marketplace or events *yet* but I'd love to tell you more about Ditto if you have a specific community of people you want to move here!
The main community function is the self-service NIP-05 username feature, which allows people to all get a username on the same domain (ex. user@mybtccommunity.com)
Then Ditto displays a local feed of everyone from that community to encourage interaction with each other while also allowing them to connect to the boarder nostr network.

It's all relative to when your first post that started the streak was, and then it counts 24 hour increments from there. This is because it's basically impossible to know the user timezones across the decentralized proto.
So if your first post that started the streak was in the afternoon, your timer will click over in the afternoon 😅

Great point. The most I ever made on a centralized platform was just over $1k per month on Medium, writing articles with clickbaity headlines.
Then the next month after the high, I got banned 🤣

I second Ghost. Been using it for years. You can publish articles and also send them to your mailing list at the same time. Easy to self-host with Mailgun.

I'm thinking Farenhight 451 next. That was one I somehow missed in school.
Already read: Never Let Me Go, Tender is the Flesh, Animal Farm, 1984, both Handmaids Tales, and White Noise (but that one is due for a reread, I don't remember it well).
My bestie suggested Station 11, so I also have to prioritize that one, and The Post Mortal is on my Book Club the for February!
Any recs? 😁

In this phase of #Nostr growth, I think it's okay if people who join in response to various censorship attacks don't always stay (although I'd prefer it if they would!). Now they know Nostr exists and where to turn when they need it again. It's all about educating people and planting seeds 🌱 💜
