 Is there a client that lets me share a note as a DM? Texting links feels so antiquated. 

Also, w... 
 I haven’t seen any client that has a share as DM option.

Generally DMs on nostr are only semi-private right now. Nobody can read the message but metadata is leaked, I.e. the fact that a message has been sent (when / to whom) is public.

Better DM implementations are in the works. 
 Apple is cracking down on Patreon to extort their 30% fee (nothing new here). This goes to the point, that they won’t allow creators to delist their content on Apple devices:

 Great! Have you thought about how to store an album reference? As a music playlist? I would still prefer to have an album field in the spec to have it self contained in one event. 
 Hello, IT?

Fire! Fire! Help me! 
 How did you get that? 🤔👏😀 
  @The Fishcake🐶🐾 It's a kind 1 comment on a badge award even (kind 30009, nip 58). Apps render it as normal post because it doesn't have an 'e' tag event reference.

 We have a spec for note expiration. Relays might already follow it - it's just missing in clients right now (afaik only NOS Social has it). 
 They dressed so well back then - makes the poor even look worse today. 
 Good question, I have not built any UI yet. Currently I just have NDK with default settings, i.e. uses your default relays.

I think it makes sense to have a set of specifc (public) relays, but maybe even a separate set of private relays where metadata is published that should not be publicly visible.

 Great! I can clean up my blob list then 😄 

The code from my PR is not deployed yet, is it? It's a bit tricky because it might break older clients.

 All THE NOSTR CLIENTS NEED TO WORK ON THEIR SEO when DuckDuckGo's AI says this about my question ... 
 💯 ... and it's not only the information about clients. User profiles with recent posts should also be in the search indexes. This would help people randomly discovering nostr profiles (and apps) when searching on the web.

 That's quite big. You can try https://void.cat/ or https://satellite.earth/cdn  but I would say nostr.build is the most solid we have right now.

https://flare.pub could also work. 

The truth is we don't have good way to host large videos right now but the space is improving 🙏 💜

 I tagged FishCake who is the developer of nostr.build ... I bet he will comment on your first question. 

I am hopeful the video options will get better. Thank you for your curiosity and patience!  
 @wavlake has a new option (in iOS TestFlight) to share zap/boost comments on nostr. This what it looks like …

 @wavlake do you have a policy for AI songs? Is it ok to upload? 
 Took some lines from  @Lawrence Lepard's rant on  @Titcoin and put it in a song.

 Good to have a NoStore alternative. If those extensions only would work with PWAs on the home screen - but apple says no.

 For text notes yes (they are decentralized on nostr), as the are stored on multiple relays and can be easily duplicated and spread.

For media (images / video) we are not there yet. I assume you uploaded to nostr.build so your content is only hosted with them. It is still be better than to rely solely on the corporate platforms.

It is not easily solved as there is always storage and bandwidth costs attached with media.  Still, we are working on better storage options (e.g. the blossom protocol) to decentralize media as well.

 I couldn’t find any mention of that in the spec. I would expect apps currently don’t carry forward the expiration for reposts.

Also note: expiration is optional, I.e. it SHOULD be considered but it is never a guarantee. 
 Yes, I forgot. And it’s also the percentage of bitcoin that is left to be mined at the end of the epoch.

 THIS! The main reason nip96 and blossom currently can't work together is that by nip96 a GET /<original SHA256> has to be used even when the content has been transformed.
