 Trust your instincts. 
 Anyone else in the #weedstr game?
Legally ?

 As things are progressing, it is very possible that in the next few years, you will be able to ask AI to create an app for you based on your idea. It should be able to develop and deploy it for you, most of the time.

I know many developers are uncomfortable with this, but I happen to believe it will trigger one of the greatest phases of development no one has ever seen before, and the field of development will finally become a creative field rather than manual labor. Development will be democratized. 
 Now we just have to focus on not letting AI get centralized; the open-source community is already doing a fascinating job. It's mind-blowing what the open-source AI community has been able to achieve so far. 
 I think it also depends on how they are utilizing AI. If they use it as a tool, like smart autocompletion or Copilot, it can be very productive, and you're still doing all the thinking. I won't take any credit away from that person.

But I also get what you're saying. If someone asks AI to 'create a nostr client,' copies an existing repository from GitHub, modifies it, and rewrites it, that's not innovation.

We're going to need people with a deeper understanding of IT and development for a very long time. Tbh, I'm not sure if AI can ever replace that.

However, in all this chaos, I also think we'll find some interesting things for sure. 😂 
 おはようございノス~

 Why does NostrNet still use device storage, and why am I not using Nostr relays to store that data?

It's just too much data, especially when considering Nostr account backups. Even excluding backups, there are still too many types of data. I also don't want to dump unique data into relays; I don't think that's good practice. I also don't see the merit in keeping your app list public for everyone.

I think the best approach here will be to use Nostr for connectivity with external storage solutions, including built-in strong quantum-resistant client-side encryption. The user sets a custom password to encrypt the NostrNet data before uploading and decrypts that data using that password when they want to restore or sync NostrNet on some other device. All the encryption & decryption process happens locally.

Overall, no trust is involved. By the way, I am open to suggestions.

This data doesn't include your Nsec; it includes all the NostrNet data, including its built-in wallet.

I know it sounds a little complicated, but you just have to set the password and remember it. That it. 
 Nothing is more satisfying than watching a random gaming streamer gain more views and audience than mainstream media. 

Media has consistently been hostile to the gaming community, initially portraying us as psychopaths for engaging in alien-killing games. 

Even now, they can't discuss the gaming community without resorting to stereotypes in every line. 
 A big issue detering new nostriches is the convolution on the key system (although I love it).  M... 
 True, keys are scary if you're not coming from bitcoin space. 
 True on many levels; keys also make it easy for developers, but without key rotation or universal recovery (similar to what legacy web have with email), it also becomes a liability. Many users aren't ready for that, especially when features like passkeys, one click login. I also happens to believe in case of nostr, we can offer passkeys like feature in trustless manner. I think that should be our goal. 
 A few months ago, we didn't have many good options for a robust Nostr web client. However, that's not the case today – we now have some very capable web client like noStrudel, Snort, Coracle & many more.

You can use them all on NostrNet.work, you can also add your own Nostr App.

 I just merged the new version of NostrNet. This will now be the main NostrNet app. 

It uses better and more secure tech, utilizes browser engine to render the WebApp, along with many new features. 

If you've already installed the app, you don't have to do anything; just let me know if you encounter any problems.

Install: https://nostrnet.work

 You can use your existing extensions with this, on pc, mac & Android, it's in-built wallet has direct integration with Alby & Zeus  
 It's a way to manage all your Nostr WebApps in one place, without any walls. I want it to be user-centric and serve as a skeleton.  
 It's a PWA app you can install on any OS, including. When you open this website and it's not already installed, it will show you the instructions. 
 You kiwi to install it, It will have all your extension. 
 Whatever browser you use to install it, it has access to all its extensions and accounts, such as email, in a trustless manner in all OS. 
 Very significant event in gaming & game development world. GM 🍀 
 Gm, have a wonderful day 🍀 
 It's funny watching "Bitcoiner" mocking the world's only decentralized and permissionless social media protocols on the world's most censored and centralized social media platforms. 
 Be cautious when downloading your NosterNet backup; backup files will also include your NosterNet wallet login. Be careful with those files.

I'm in the process of developing an encryption mechanism that requires you to use a password for encrypting this data during the download. 

You can utilize the same password to decrypt the data when needed.

 Something very significant has happened in the gaming and game development world. It's highly symbolic—someone has finally managed to crash the Tetris game.

If you want to understand why this is such a big deal for the gaming world, you should watch this video.

 The unfinished obelisk is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. This obelisk, which is 25m long today, if it had been finished by the ancient Egyptians, would be almost measured around 41.75m (137.0 ft) and would have weighed nearly 1,090 tonnes, a weight equal to about 200 African elephants.

This obelisk was studied in detail by Reginald Engelbach in 1922. Its creation was ordered by Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC). This piece that was left unfinished due to the appearance of some fissures in the upper part of the obelisk, is very important as it shows us how the ancient Egyptians cut and removed the obelisks. 
 So the illegal child trafficking ring conspiracy theory was true, wasn't this literally being called the 'wildest & stupidest' conspiracy theory?

Now we know it was there for decades, and it was used by one of the most high-profile individuals who literally run things.

This is insane when you think about it. 
 In the upcoming performance update, NostrNet will preload your most frequently visited websites to eliminate their loading time. This will be done based on your in-app screen time metrics. 

Rest assured, all processing will occur locally, including your data storage.

 Upcoming NostrNet will come with weekly auto-update notification. 

Upon clicking the notification, it will initiate the process of fetching all your data from the relays, saving a copy of it, and update your data across all relays. 

In-App database to store that data. This all happens locally, without even a external notification server

 Hello, World!

#introductions 
 Hi 👋 
 The latest NostrNet update is now live, it includes:

New ScreenTime feature for analyzing your usage. 

Full Nostr Backup service support, essentially making it a part of NostrNet. 

It's Inbuilt lightning wallet also got updated.

Now I have to go with my friend, Happy New Year 🤗

Install NostrNet: https://app.nostrnet.work https://i.imgur.com/tLE9OmD.jpg 
 Applist will be updated tomorrow  
 The upcoming NostraNet screen time feature not only offers a thorough analysis of the Nostr apps you use the most in NostrNet but also evaluates each app's performance. 

These metrics will assist you in making more informed decisions about which app to use, and they will also help us personalize your experience.

 Btw no server involved, all the processing happens locally. 
 When you legalize corruption:

Sam Bankman-Fried saw six charges dropped, including campaign finance violations and bribery conspiracy.

SBF reportedly donated $100M in the 2022 midterms, with substantial amounts to dark money groups. 
 Different people have different visions for Nostr. 

Personally, I envision Nostr as a hub for the development of freedom tech – technology that we and future generations can use as a hedge against global technocrats and future tech dystopia. 

Nostr feels like a ideal place for individuals to come together and start working towards a better future. 
 NostrNet Screen Time feature will be available today, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your app usage. 

In the next few days, we will also introduce a Performance API to analyze the performance of each app. 

There is no better way to empower users than by providing them with insightful information.

 All processing and storage are happening locally; at no point does any data leave your device. I'm literally writing these algorithms from scratch. 

This series of updates will be focused on making NostrNet way smarter and more personalized. 
 I'm so I'm pressed by Jamie Dimon.

It's amazing watching someone go from "Ban It" to facilitatin... 
 He is turning into source of inspiration for entire humankind. 😄 
 The NostrNet Screen Time feature will be available in the next update, helping you understand your app usage and optimize your app list. 

In the future, it will also assist us in providing a more personalized experience. 

All processing and data storage occur locally, ensuring no privacy compromises.

 I want to enhance the NostrNet app’s intelligence without compromising privacy. 

The app should comprehend user patterns, display metrics to the user, and suggest new apps based on user preferences. 

Importantly, all processing and storage are handled locally, ensuring that none of the data leaves the user’s device & its FOSS.

 Where? 
 Hola mundo. 

Volví a Nostr. 
 Hi welcome back  
 I've just developed a ScreenTime feature for NostrNet. 

It will keep track of the WebApps you use the most and how much time you spend on them inside NostrNet app. It will help you manage your app list.

Don't worry—no external servers are involved; everything happens locally. 

This feature will be available in the next update.

 Hey ,how are you? 
 Hey, we're fine, what about you? 
 True, good night 💤 
 The NostrNet universal search is now live, and multitasking capability “tabs,” along with additional features, will be available tomorrow. 

Once installed, it remains up-to-date.

Install NostrNet: https://app.nostrnet.work https://image.nostr.build/fd27a24b3714d6f169613f3985e5350f8172370bff54b97b2f7489cc4d34dbfc.jpg  nostr:note100gwm93dwme6nnvy4664eptneswz03su2y8u4cur9s8je6acq8fqn2lqgd 
 Fun fact: In NostrNet, there's no need to set up accounts, especially email & other legacy logins. 

You'll be automatically logged in if you're already signed in on your browser within those apps. For nostr logins you will have access to your existing browser extensions inside this app.

Don't worry it does this in a very trustless manner. https://image.nostr.build/970846ba8b7790fff8b1f547f9c23fbb7d3bc284791c7a426c8818dfc9e58c4e.jpg  nostr:note1rkfrxxyaaxnfq35qf3lscp92kfa53kmfyf9e8r8fr4gufla2u4cs0zf808 
 🤣🤣🤣 
 This is a propaganda created for masses to completely disarm them. 
 So, it's basically like the Mafia behaviour, they create threats, then take away your money and rights to 'protect' you from those threats. 
 Looking for top 25 most useful Nostr Web Apps 🤔 
 Wow, btw better version of NostrNet is coming tomorrow, that will handle larger numbers of apps properly, you can also transfer your current app list to new version using Backup/Restore feature. 
 Yeah, it's will be a main NostrNet search engine for Nostr.

 Waiting for someone to compile it properly

 Yeah that's the best thing about Nostr, its very flexible.

You don't really have to exactly follow the protocols as defined. You can leave the NIPs. You can even make many changes on client side without break the protocol. In the future, if we have consensus, we can implement a new NIP alternative to the current NIPs. 

So that is one plus point of Nostr. It's very flexible, unlike Bitcoin. 
 Yeah, Nostr in itself is very different from Bitcoin. Apart from the Bitcoin libraries it uses to generate public and private keys, everything else is very different.

Nostr is very versatile; you can do a lot of experiments on it, this is the exact part that makes devs so excited about it. 
 You only need a client to publish a new event, and a relay to accept that event. Anyone connected to that relay, using a client with an interface to display the new event, will be able to see it. You can even have your own relay attached to a client; in that case, you don't need relays to accept your new event.

 Thank you, It means a lot. 🤍
