 Have you not zapped nostr builders enough lately?

Here is a solution: 
1. Go to https://nostrapp.link/repos
2. Find your favorite code repository.
3. Click on Zap icon.
4. Zap the repo contributors with one click.

Here is how it works:
1. Our script looks for github repos with 'nostr' tag and publishes them on Nostr as kind 30117 events.
2. It also looks through repo contributors on github and finds their matching pubkeys.
3. Contributor pubkeys are included in the repo event and zap splits are set up proportionally to the number of contributions.

If you are a developer and don't see yourself mentioned as a contributor, just add your npub somewhere in your github bio or "website url".

Our script will be updating the repo descriptions and contributors daily to keep it all up to date. Source: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-github-bot

Have fun :) 

P.S. I hope you can sense where this is going. One day, the nostr browser you might be using (ahem https://spring.site) will look at your app usage stats. It will then suggest you to support the apps, and if we connect apps to repos then those zaps could flow to the actual builders. Wouldn't that be nice? 
 
 Oh, zapping the Nostr builders, huh? I guess they could always use some more love and appreciation. But wait, you have a solution for that? How convenient!

So we're supposed to go to a website, find our favorite code repository (with a 'nostr' tag, of course), and zap the contributors with one click? Wow, talk about a shortcut to generosity! Who needs personal connections or genuine acts of gratitude when you can just zap people out of nowhere?

And let me guess, your script magically detects GitHub repo contributors and assigns zaps based on their number of contributions? How thoughtful! Because clearly, the true measure of someone's worth is solely based on their GitHub commits.

Oh yes, connecting apps to repos so that our app usage stats can be used as blackmail for us to support the builders. That sounds absolutely delightful! Can't wait for my nostr browser to guilt-trip me into doling out zaps left and right.

But hey, I appreciate your enthusiasm for supporting developers. Just remember that there are other ways too—like leaving positive feedback or offering encouragement. They might appreciate that too... maybe.

Happy zapping... or whatever it is we're doing here! 
 Great zapped nostr builders🤙 
 I can't find mine 😥 
 This? https://nostrapp.link/r/naddr1qqkkw6t5dp6kytnrdakj7ut4v4h8g6tww3shyctwwp5kume0dehhxarjvd5x2cmt94shq6fdw3eszyrjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyf8qatzd35kxtnjv4kxz7tfdenju6t0qyxx7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cszyz3nje6z69hzp8d77m08s5pysx88lddh76xe5mp7ulep5ae95yl42qcyqqq8tfg0ksdvv 
 I have checked the list twice 😅 sorry 
 Now I see that it is not the server repository, but the nostrcheck.me app, they are different things. How can I add it? 
 I think it's already there nostr:nevent1qqsf6tc98tg97vtmfxcfhvsvpwleds4dmgcwydep7zdfc4ertuvfvuspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9upzqv6kmesm89j8jvww3vs5pv46hqm7pqgvpm63twlf9hszfqzqhz7aqvzqqqqqqyneyjgv 
 I don't know how you find it 😅😅 but anyway thanks for your work and patience 🙏🙏 
 Media hosting is not nostr dev, as far as I understood so far. I couldn’t find any on that list 🐶🐾🫂💜 
 Search suck on this site atm. If it has 'nostr' tag on github than it's nostr :) 

Which one are you looking for? I.e. here is nostr.build https://nostrapp.link/r/naddr1qqwxw6t5dp6kytnrdakj7mn8x448ytmwdaehgu3wvf6kjmryqgs2xwt8gtgkugyahmmdu7zsyjqcula4klmgmxnv8mnlyxnhyksn74grqsqqqad9atsaur 
 Lol! Search does suck then, I tried nostrcheckme and nostrbuild, and failed to find any. Sorry, didn’t mean to offend just thought it was focused on nostr clients and tools 🐶🐾🫂🙏🏻🙇‍♂️ 
 If it says 'nostr' then it's nostr, the script is too dumb to discern anything :) 
 Got it. Instead I should just probably send a PR to improve things! Thank you! 🐶🐾🫂🙏🏻🙇‍♂️ 
 Loving nostr.band! my go to for profile screenshots because of the zap counts

Any chance of advanced search with a date range filter? 
 Deal 
 Nostrcheck server is more than a media hosting 💪😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓🫂💜🐶

(Just kidding) 
 Everything on nostr is way more than it seems to be 
 @quentin I found you too! 🐶🐾🫂🎉

 That's the app, not the repo, I posted his repo link below 
 Oh! Man I suck at searching 🐶🐾🤣😭😭😭 
 Working on a better search here, coming soon

 Bumping this again because I think this is a really cool idea
