Also had issues with getZapMethods in the current version of ndk. It failed silently somewhere in getZapInfo. Couldn't figure out the root cause either.
Many ndk apps e.g. slidestr.net are static web pages. But I think you mean having a single html page, including ndk from a cdn (script tag) and write some JavaScript to use it!? That could be done but most developers like to have a proper setup, that compiles and optimizes the page.
For simple usecases nostr-tools might also be easier to use.
It’s even worse… in good conditions we pay the owners of those wind turbines to turn them off.
Not to speak of the coal power plants and all the LNG shipped in from the US that we need.
Looked at both YT archive tools. tubearchivist is really solid - I'm just not sure how I feel about the video metadata is not being stored by default and only as embed in the mp4 video file.
tubearchivist - https://www.tubearchivist.com/
✅ Archival of individual videos, channels and playlists
✅ Good UI to browse videos, channels and playlists similar to YT
❌ Thumbails and metadata are not stored with the video (only embeded in the mp4 file, cryptic folder structure).
✅ REST API
💡 Higher setup complexity and memory usage (elastic search, redis)
pinchflat - https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat
❌ UI can manage downloads but UX for browsing and watching videos is not good
✅ Archives channels and playlists
❌ No adhoc archival of individual videos
✅ Download folder with videos has thumbs and metadata (human readable folder structure with mp4, thumb, info.json)
✅ Simple setup (only internal sqlite)
I'm also convinced we need a photography mobile app. I think being a web app is holding slidestr back but I'm mostly a web developer. Also I don't want to go through KYC/doxing to but something on the App Stores.
Do you have a UX/UI in mind that you want to see for that app?
Die Erkenntnis von Manu, dass viele NOSTR Entwickler (ich gehöre ja auch selbst zu diesen Entwicklern) eher Apps für den Desktop und weniger für Mobilgeräte entwickeln fand ich wichtig!
Meist hat man im Web mehr Freiheiten und viele haben dort auch mehr Erfahrung als bei der Entwicklung von Apps für Mobilgeräte.
Ich bin aber auch der Meinung, dass wir viele Nutzer nur mit guten mobilen Apps erreichen werden, da einfach die Mehrzahl der Menschen das Internet über ihr Handy nutzen.
