 Anyone got screenshots of the earliest nostr clients? I have some but want to see what you guys have. CLI stuff is fair game too  
 I basically wanna show (and see myself) how far we've come

 I wonder if mIRC could be an ancestor 🤔

 Yeah, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm specifically looking for old screenshots of clients of THE NOSTR  
 How about this? An Astral screenshot...

 That's good! 😂 May I use this for a blog post?  
 Of course! 🤙🏻

 Any from Anigma? My first Nostr experience was an open group chat you made there ~1yr ago. It was wild. 
 Anigma is a flashback! Still wonder how screwed my nsec is from those early days 
 Got mine rekt because of it 😅 
 I never rotated my key and maybe I will regret that at some point. Hoping someone comes up with a good solution, because most of ny nostr network effect comes from the fact that I was here early! Would be hard to rebuild. 
 Even better, every version of snort is available stil: https://21f49293.snort-social.pages.dev/ 
 oh, that's fantastic  
 Build date: January 3, 2023 
 Very minimalist. 
 Interesting 👀 
It's not far back as I was late, but I remember using Nostrgram, which is sort of a madness of a client lol. No idea what CLI is tho. Curious thread  
 CLI = command line interface  
 I have a screenshot from the branle client dated 01-nov-2022 but it's the one showing the private key to this account 🤣.
At the time I was just testing it out. 
 Black it out and post it! 😁

 Oh, that's awesome. I have a video of this client somewhere. May I use this screenshot in a blog post?  
 sure. I have a lot of early days weird screens of alphaama, mostly screen recordings 
 Love it! 🔥💜 
 This is the text CLI client I was originally working on https://image.nostr.build/dbcca877593dd074106575aa7a2b0e705eed4424dc7a9fe8b52599f529c7dc54.jpg https://image.nostr.build/15b6446b0962a693096c6436ae4e5858ec378bd55ada0d1d5a66d27477de149d.jpg  
 Did you stop? 
 Commodore 64 bbs/nostr client? 
 Why the CRT? 
 Why not? CRTs are magical pieces of hardware. 
 YUSS 
 Doesn’t get any earlier than this. 🤣

I know it’s not what you asked for though. 😘 https://i.nostr.build/5L5v.jpg  
 "Change many things, then it finally works somewhat" on Friday the 13th.  Spooky 😂 
 I've got better than that, https://v1-coracle-social.onrender.com

 This is from early December 2022 before I broke everything 
 Last time I checked astral.ninja it looked the same as May 2022. 😆 
 I have source code for two Nostr clients I made before Branle. Should I run them and take screenshots? 
 YES #YESTR  
 YES
