Second time in less than a year severely spraining an ankle while, on vacation, carrying two suitcases walking down a flight of stairs. First with the right ankle, and now the left. I should stop doing that. Lifelong issue of mine but it’s gotten worse as I get older.

It’s arguably better than Switzerland. Switzerland has only nature and not much else — and everything there is overpriced. The hotel and restaurant scene in Ukraine far surpass many other countries, including North America, in terms of design, food quality, and cost. And it has the nature and beauty. Undiscovered and undervalued country for sure. Once the war ends, Ukraine will be on fire in terms of popularity and tourism.

I’ve been experimenting with Skip which allows you to write in native Swift / SwiftUIl and it transpiles to native Android / Kotlin / Jetpack Compose. Not everything transpiles over well, it requires some compilation directives and some compatibility mappings if they haven’t added what you need yet.

Yes, it’s up to them. I don’t have any authority over their client code. I can only express my opinion as a user of the client and open pull requests to the code base. I value user choice above all else. It’s the client developer’s right to write whatever software they want, but it’s the user’s right to express their opinions about what they want to see or not see. The question is if the client developer values their users’ choices. If not, the user has the choice of using a different client.

I’ve personally struggled and have seen people struggle with language all my life. I was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Canada, so that meant being fluent in English and not so fluent in my first language of Cantonese / Chinese. I struggle to communicate properly with my parents in their native language and they sometimes have difficulty communicating in English. I travel a lot to non-English speaking countries and the number of times I’ve had to pull out Google Translate to get through basic tasks like ordering food from a menu and using a washing machine (as recent as yesterday) is uncountable. Similarly, I’ve been learning the Russian language for the past several years, and have had struggles with communicating with people who don’t speak English in that community.
My wife and mother-in-law are Ukrainian, and despite them being fluent in English and their native language, they have their own personal language struggles. With the war in Ukraine, their first language of Russian is being cancelled due to social and geopolitical pressure, and all the Russian language that I’ve learned is quickly becoming irrelevant.
I believe that non-English speakers should learn at least a bit of English as it’s a generally accepted international language and it’ll help them navigate through life, but it’s also unreasonable to expect people to not be able to use basic tools or be shunned from the greater society just because of this language barrier.
Encountering these situations in life myself just reaffirms that we need to build apps in a more accessible, thoughtful way, for the good of humanity.

Yes! The best part is finding out who’s attending which talks and making new friends IRL. Then if we can make events and profiles zappable, that would be the icing on the cake, but Apple might give us a hard time.

I have no opinions about Monero but this feels like a form of passive opinionated censorship from the client and doesn’t take into account user choice. Is this necessary, @npub1n0s…lahe ? I’m fine with augmenting Bitcoin and Nostr related hashtags with images because it helps highlight what they are, whereas shitcoin images on hashtags by default seem a step too far. It alters the meaning and interpretation of people’s posts.

2024-08-16 20:38:09

- reply

I don’t agree with some points of this take. Censorship resistance is a strong property of Nostr but it’s not the main point for majority of folks. It’s your portable identity, portable data, and free network effects, combined with use cases beyond just social media — which seems like a core focus of your note. There’s nothing wrong with having overlap with X — the point is Nostr is already almost a superset of what X provides but with even more.
I got into Nostr before I got into Bitcoin. Just because there’s a concentration of a certain demographic, doesn’t mean the protocol is necessarily catering to only that demographic. Where I do agree with you is that Nostr needs the other stuff with thoughtfully designed experiences to succeed to have folks want to use it. @npub1c0n…g243 intends to be one, and sounds like Satlantis is, too.

Looking for feedback on this PR to update the terminology on NIP-09 - “Event Deletions”. I’m proposing we call it “Event Retractions” instead when we actually mean “request for deletion”. Let’s reserve “delete” for when we actually mean physically deleting an event from a specific client or relay. There’s too much confusion stemming from overloading the term. Not all clients or relays need to support retractions, but the protocol describes how one could support it, so let’s use the correct words that explain it properly.

I freaking love the Builder software design pattern. When paired with protocols and inheritance, it’s the perfect combo to provide a flexible, easy-to-use framework for building Nostr events, especially when it’s an event kind that shares common tags with other event kinds. Custom emoji tags is a good example that is used across at least three event kinds. This approach has solved a long-standing gripe I’ve had with how rigidly Nostr SDK for Apple Platforms handled event creation.

There’s parameterized and non-parameterized replaceable events. The former has a “d” tag that stays constant over replacements, which is useful when you can have multiple events of a given kind. The latter does not have the “d” tag, which means only one event for a given kind should exist, in theory.

Going to answer your question in the Alby Community Call that I didn’t get to.
> I'm trying to search for the NostrValley event that Derek was creating (not sure if he has done so yet). Did your reply on Nostr this morning just mean that the magnifier icon should jump to the top for search, or did you also mean that the searchbar function itself isn't built yet?
The Nostr Valley event has been created, I see it on the Primal relay.
The search icon will no longer be a search icon, I’m changing it to a globe icon. But what I meant was that tapping on any tab, “Home”, “Explore”, “Upcoming”, “Past”, will scroll you to the top.
But also, separately, there is a search bar that I will add soon that will enable you to search for events, profiles, locations, etc.

This is actually incredible. They take a demo app that Apple wrote and transpile it over to Android with Skip.

Here’s their breakdown matrix comparing to other approaches of building dual-platform mobile apps. Take it with a grain of salt as they created the matrix themselves so it probably has some bias, but it seems to make sense to me.

I think both the Home and Explore tabs should show a search bar. For Explore, it’s probably the wrong image for what it’s actually intended for. It’s more like “explore all events that aren’t created or RSVP’d by someone you follow”. Maybe an image of the globe would make more sense. I made tapping the icon scroll to the top intentionally.
There aren’t any specific relays that I know of yet that are for calendar events. I will probably spin up a comingle.co relay in the future for this purpose. Defaulting to the Primal relay at the moment is just a temporary easy stopgap as it’s a popular relay.
Thanks for the feedback about the UI and experience. I appreciate it!

Epic event. If you scroll down to the bottom, does it say which relays it published to? If it doesn’t, then it didn’t publish. In which case, try modifying something in the event and re-save. See if that does it for you, and then grab the event id from the top right toolbar afterward.
