 Damus Suite… email (async comms), work chat, socials, all powered by nostr. works on prem and is insanely simple to setup. So many business opportunities 😵‍💫 
 How difficult do you think itd be to make the email work with traditional emails too? 
 Would just need a protocol bridge maybe… 
 Hmm ... I hate that I'm paying for email hosting but I also know modern email systems are  not really designed to work with self hosting... Wonder if this could help with this broken part of the internet 
 I think so! 
 Aren't personally hosted emails marked as spam by the big guys? 

I think I've heard it's a difficult service to self host they gatekeep.  
 I run my own. gmail doesn’t ban me 🤷‍♂️ 
 Thinking of spinning one up for myself. Did you do all the dmarc/spf record setup & so that’s why it’s fine for you? 
 With DKIM/dmarc/spf properly setup emails should not be marked as spam 
 Ty for mentioning the 3rd, couldn’t remember it off the cuff. 
 Dont forget rdns for ipv6, gmail will definitely ban you without that 
 Can you omit that shitcoin of a protocol, or are you forced to support? 
 Not required 
 I was researching this last night and decided to dive into it so I can de google myself. Can I ask what software you run? Or what I would need to make a solid system? 
 I use an older variant of https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver 
 Thanks @jb55 I will learn and implement asap. 
 What if all your business productivity tools worked together seamlessly and all used the same easy to setup and backup node. Private!  clients can be customized for different usecases without having to switch providers. So many benfits. 
 All powered by nostrdb of course 🙂 efficient syncing between work and local. Everything works offline. 
 Damus Code, your own GitHub for your company. 

I have much bigger ambitions for Damus than just iOS. I want damus to be the best brand in nostr, with the best tech and tools. I don’t want to put everything into a single app, which is why I’m trying to make native client dev as simple as possible by extracting the complexity into nostrdb. It should be much easier to spin up specific native microapps for different use cases.

Micro apps is just the Unix philosophy, and Damus will embrace this:

 🏆 
 Love it. Also DOTADIW for each client🔥 
 well. unfortunately the most lasting influence damus had on me is motivating me to get on graphene and ditch apple and their anti zap policies. so, damus on Android would be a beautiful thing 🤙💜 
 extremely bullish on micro apps that don’t run in the browser and aren’t written in JavaScript 
 👆 
 Agreed. It’s great what devs manage while hamstrung by the browser and a bad language, but I’d love to see more native tools. 
 Love it. 
 Deal is still active 
 @snowden, deal will apply to you as well 
 "The Unix philosophy emphasizes building simple, compact, clear, modular, and extensible code that can be easily maintained and repurposed by developers other than its creators. The Unix philosophy favors composability as opposed to monolithic design."

From the Wikipedia article @jb55 linked to. 
 keep going brother ⚡💪🤙 
 So you saying Damus Works? 
 MS Outlook or MS Teams competitor? 
 definitely 
 Fuckin beast mode 
 Rock it. Interesting and interested. 
 Great and 😎 
 This is the way, like a republic. It has built in competition and time preferences amenable to long term success  
 Is there a way to share a post/note from nostr and put it on Twitter/X with image displayed. Currently X just shows a link to nostr post, and Not showing the image if the post contains an image. I want to drag some Twitter users over to Nostr.
