 Thank you! This grant is for me to work on Nostr part time over the next ten months. I’m not in a good enough position to go full time into Nostr just yet. I have three tentative focus areas. Not sure if I’m committing more than I’m able to deliver, but here it is.

1. Comingle. Implement and rollout the meetup / conference client on iOS and Android, and eventually Web. Aiming to ship some basic release in time for Nostriga in August.

2. Nostr SDK for Apple Platforms. Implement the outbox model (relay hints), finish the list implementation, NIP-17 DMs, zaps. Have at least two iOS clients use the SDK.

3. Damus. Internationalize user-facing copy for the multiplatform version of Damus which will support Android. Continued development of the translations pipeline for iOS. Any miscellaneous features or bug fixes on iOS.

It’s also an aspiration of mine to build a native iOS Nostr event signer app, similar to Amber on Android, but I don’t think I can commit to doing it unless I drop something else. It’s important, though.
