 It's very tempting to keep building a new app every week, but backup, monetization, and Nostr browser are already vast areas. So much more can be done here. I will keep focus on my current services, continuously improve them. 

I will recommend turning them into PWAs if you haven't already. 
 Zapit.live backend has also been updated, and I've also reconfigured its PWA settings.  

I've updated all extensions, including the paywall and marketplace. Lightning Vouchers will be available in next update.

NostrNet integration & more is coming soon. I'm very excited about this one.

Every Zapit user gets a high-performance Lnbits Wallet. No Cuts or No Email πŸ€™

 Good luck πŸ€ 
 Now you can Backup/Restore your App list on NostrNet.work. 

Maybe I should also turn it into a Nostr event; that way, it will be synchronized across your devices through your Nostr account. πŸ€”

 Thanks 
 🀍 
 Me too πŸ™Œ 
 You can also add this to NostrNet.work that works even better. 
 Thank you  
 Zapit backend updating......

 Mike Tyson has the best hands ever. His technique is just perfection. 

He puts all his momentum and torque into each punch. His combinations are just so natural, like a well-oiled machine. 

And he still has his legs, even at 57. He's like a hydraulic system, the way his entire body springs into each punch.

 Zapit already has a Zap split feature, in the next update, I will make a proper interface for that.  
 You can attach your own wallet like WoS, Zeus, Alby. It by default provides you self-hosted Lnbits wallet. Zero cuts.

 Reflecting on the missed opportunities for peace between Palestine and Israel. It's disheartening to see how close they were, yet here we are. πŸ’”

 Same goes for secular "democracies" with trillion-dollar military-industrial complexes, ordinary people generally don't favor war unless they can be misled into believing it's the other side is inherently "bad".

& When you dig a little bit deeper, you start to realize that many of the worst terror organizations, such as the Taliban, Hamas, and ISIS, were literally funded by the "good guys." 
 I watched this yesterday; he did a great job. 
 They were and it was very well calculated, they didn't want to have a unified government in the West Bank and Gaza, especially the PLO, which had international recognition. 

This way, Israel could completely avoid the peace process and continue annexing the West Bank. It is very well documented, just one Google search away.

 Bibi thought he could contain Hamas while also keeping the Palestinian leadership fragmented, but it backfired; he himself called Hamas a great asset. This information is also just one Google search away. 
 Now this is my favorite song πŸ˜†

 Good morning πŸ€ 
 Content discovery is crucial; we need to find a way to categorize content. 

If we don't want to rely on algorithms, we should at least provide users with the ability to add category tags to their notes, such as Art, Tech, Dev, Politics with proper web of trust. Users should be able to subscribe to specific topics.

 He is saying the quiet part out loud; the so-called crypto industry is nothing but lies and deception. 

Bitcoin has nothing to do with this 'crypto industry.'

 "Spending money on politicians is very effective; you could get very high returns in terms of influence by spending relatively small amounts of money." -SBF during court trials

Politician aren't just corrupt, they're also cheap AF. 
 Why is there something instead of nothing?

Well, I don't have an answer, and neither did Erwin SchrΓΆdinger.

He did, however, point out that the question itself is astonishing.

In his book 'My View of the World,' he expressed that astonishment and wonder arise when we encounter something different from what we expect.

But this whole world is something we encounter only once. We have nothing to compare it with, and it is impossible to see how we can approach it with any particular expectation. 

Yet, we are astonished. We are puzzled by what we find, yet unable to say what we should have found to avoid surprise, or how the world would have to be constructed not to constitute a riddle.

 I’m becoming a nostrudel.ninja maxi πŸ’œ 
 It's a great web client. 
 Okay, I’ve downloaded all the books from this website. 

Next, I will start extracting text from those books, turn that into a dataset, and begin training AI models with that data. 

Let’s see what happens. I will share the results. 

We can also create our own library now, Nostr Library!πŸ€” https://image.nostr.build/3acfe12ad3b48075a3056d34ded7ec81cec56584a93693ff2a634b69a588410b.jpg  nostr:note1ej900rfw9ruuxlru98nv3lw9crs5z0gw4jgvxhwpu05726rfgq3snn940v

 I'm not endorsing any book on this website, but at the same time, I strongly suggest that people explore banned and suppressed books. 

There is something very fascinating in there, and a lot of answers, but be careful. 🫑

 This website contains wide variety of books including banned books.
"out-of-print, out-of-copyright, no-longer available or very difficult to find, hidden, suppressed, banned or otherwise prevented from wider public access and distribution"

 
 Fiat Ponzi scheme (US edition)

$6 trillion β€” That’s the amount of US bonds that will mature over the next year. But guess what?

America cannot pay that amount! So, it will issue new bonds to pay back those old bonds!

It’s like you borrow from
MasterCard to pay Visa! But here’s the catch:

The old bonds had yields of about 1%, while the new ones will be 5% or more!

USA is caught in a spiralling debt vortex. And as dedollarization gains momentum, the demand for dollar and US debt will plunge… which means higher yields for US bonds.

Resulting Hyperinflation.
