If anyone is down to try experimental chrome extensions, Here's my first early release of the last.fm to NOSTR scrobbler extension.
https://blossom.nostrava.xyz/ab947aa5809a66a3bd21c43fb6d1ecb345b114906a7eab7798c9adeff3d7a2a9.zip
If you have a last.fm account, and you have your streaming services hooked up to it, you should start to see them flow through this extension when it's in "syncing" mode. Then you can choose if you want to publish it.
If it doesn't work right away, try refreshing the page, or closing and opening the browser again.

Okay one last one for the weekend...
Here's a chrome extension that will act as a last.fm to nostr bridge.
You just have a to give a last.fm API key, your username, and your nsec (for signing the 2002 events).
In this demo, I am play all this music through the spotify app on my phone. I have spotify hooked up to my last.fm account.
This extension is listening for those scrobble events from last.fm, and publishing them to the scrobble relay.
Finally, the app in the background is listening to new events coming in on the same relay, so in real time you can see my scrobbles getting added on the app.
Open protocols are awesome, I love the inter connectivity!

You can pack it super light with just the bottles (500ml each) or you can throw a full bladder in the back. Combine both and you can get 3L easily.
Tons of space for phone, snack, jacket, whatever. Just make sure you don't get it too big, otherwise it'll flap around while you run.

Are you working in an activity based nostr client as well? If so would love your input on the activity nip!

2024-08-15 11:23:35

- reply

Yeah working on a new event kind to facilitate this stuff. The goal of the client I'm building is to give fine grained control over what part of an activity you actually share.
Ultimately you'll be able to encrypt the data if you don't want to let others see all of the location data, or choose to not upload it, but allow people to still see stats.
Then utilizing DVMs, you could still get cool aggregates on the stats you choose to make public, like how strava will match a run and give you trends of slower or faster.

First pass at an Activity NIP: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1423
Anyone who regularly uses Strava, Garmin Connect, or similar - I would love some feedback on this flow. Especially if you're a developer!
#running #nostrava #nips

2024-08-14 03:20:52

Suuuper rough, but here's a client that can handle nostr activites (like garmin / strava / etc..)
https://nostrava.xyz
It's still a WIP and will only use one specific relay current to write all of the activity related notes (relay.nostrava.xyz).
While the NIP is still being worked on, I figure it makes sense to not publish these notes to a bunch of public relays as things could still change.
Currently auth is only supported via nip-07 browser extensions (more auth support will come soon).
When you share an activity, you can expand "Share Settings" to choose exactly what you want to share as a NOSTR note. You can trim the Map file so that you don't dox your exact location, you can also choose to not upload your activity file. In this case, only a summary of statistic will be generated.
I'm using the "sports-lib" javascript library to analyze the activity files. It's far from perfect, but it's good enough for now. My hope is that other who are better at this kind of analysis can create DVMs or other libraries to generate summaries from the raw GPX files, which other clients can then pick up on.

Having never built a full product with any of the existing frameworks, take what I say with a grain if salt.
I always struggled with expo and react Native. Never worked how I wanted it to ootb.
http://capacitorjs.com seems quite promising. Mainly because you can use any web framwork, so porting something like cashu.me seems easier.
Never really delved into it though, as a pure web dev, I always get frustrated when I go into the mobile world.

@npub1ye5…knpr I made a small PR on `blossom-server-sdk` https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server-sdk/pull/1

2024-08-02 14:38:27

For nostr-ava I think I'm going to lean into a DVM model to analyze gpx files. Here's the flow I'm thinking
1) user uploads a gpx file in a client and adds relevant metadata around it (name, description, etc...)
2) GPX files is uploaded to a blossom server and the location is stored in the original note
3) user can then request analysis of the gpx file by creating a DVM job request. This will allow multiple ways to analyze (there's a lot of cool python libraries to transform GPX files), and also allows DVMs to use output from previous DVMs to do meta analysis.
Clients can pull in the original notes + any DVM results per activity and display them as they see fit.
I'm envisioning DVMs for run matching, analyzing your progress throughout the year, comparing with other similar routes (e.g. segments and KOM stuff)

Nostr song lyrics, guitar tabs, and sheet music. Because the existing sites that host that stuff always try to push their apps.

First (rough) pass at a #climbing NIP
https://wikifreedia.xyz/crimpstr-nip/borrakkor@nostrplebs.com
I opted for a new kind for these events as to not clutter existing wiki applications, though we could easily use the 30818 kind and just utilize a type and c tag to get climbing related things.
I think the biggest unlock here is incorporating the geohash of an area / route into the name. This will ensure that we can disambiguate between climbs of the same name.
It also has the added benefit of hierarchical ordering built in, so you can easily group climbs together without having to enforce a strict hierarchy like MP does.
Using curation sets for tick lists, and for area oganizations (e.g. ordered climbs from left to right) might also be sufficient.
My goal here is not enforce any ordering on the notes themselves, but let people group things together however they see fit.

What if everyone just published all of their random notes about topics from obsidian or other note taking apps to nostr, and then used wikifreedia or similar to browse it all.
Not worrying about it being a Wikipedia level article (though some could), but really just reading though everyone's research or thoughts on a personal topic.
They can centralize around categories or common names.
A bit like urban dictionary, but for any topic.

Some good ideas here for an ecash betting pool. He relies on a central coordinator though.

https://github.com/ebrakke/obsidian-nostr-wiki
Here's the source code for the obsidian nostr wiki plugin. Super WIP, but feel free to clone it, fork it, make it better.
Currently it will treat front matter as tags to add to the published note, and it will strip front matter out of the content so it displays nicely.

My favorite thing about moving to Colorado from the east coast was the super friendly ethics around bolting (for most of the front range). It made climbing around Boston pretty inaccessible.
Those lines look sweet!

2024-05-27 15:49:50

Surprisingly easy to write an obsidian plugin that publishes wiki events on nostr.
More to come at some point! This should help with maintaining something like crimpstr.

Yeah I've been thinking about something like this for a couple years now. My first attempt was building something in top of ipfs, but that was kind of a nightmare.
At one point I scraped all of the routes from mountain project, I think I have them somewhere so it's a good "seed" to start something.
Creating a nostr client for climbing seems like the next logical step. Zapping or sending ecash to route developers would be 🔥.

Turns out programmatically buying gift cards is not an easy thing to gain access to. Wish bitrefill would offer an API to purchase gift cards.
Every gift card provider I've found requires a business account, and needs to "review" your application before giving you access.

The phone client just knows how to sign + publish notes. You could manage multiple keys there.
Could be used to prove identity as well. A site can just present you with a challenge, and you sign the note on your phone and send it to a relay or API endpoint.
Rather than an oauth like flow (oauth is clunky) it's more of a 2FA flow.
Relying on browser extensions to handle nsec is a terrible experience.

2024-02-19 13:47:04

What if clients didn't actually deal with signing and publishing your notes?
What if a client could operate in a mode where it just produced the event template, and you scanned it as a QR code on your phone (which holds your nsec) and then your phone published the signed note?
A bit like a PSBT but for a nostr note.

It'd be sweet if you could lock up ecash to the commit that closes out a GitHub issue.
Whoever signs the commit that closes the issue could unlock the payment.

It would be interesting to maybe use something like IPFS to upload the entire contents of a book, and then use nostr to “register” the book.
The cool thing with IPFS is you can never edit the content. One would have to post an “update” note with a link to the new IPFS address, which gives you editorial revisions for free.
