Been wanting to migrate my blog to Nostr for years now. We’re just not quite there.

I really want to be great. Early days, but the promise is real: Signal, but better, and with zaps.

This is Christmas.

Are there any solid alternatives to Zeus other than Alby Go? Speaking about essentially a remote control for a node on the go; the original Zeus premise. Zeus is becoming something like a spork whereas Alby Go just isn’t quite there yet.

Ah, good old post-Christmas late night rabbit holes.

I find Primal + NWC to be the ideal

Hear me out: your nostr keypair doesn’t need to be super-protected and storing it in iCloud/Google Drive behind biometric auth is absolutely fine + delivers a 10x experience for normies. It should be the default. All this frostr bunker shit is a total waste of engineering cycles; ya’ll aren’t holding the nuclear codes.

Strong agree. It’s still all too weird. is improving things significant in terms of easy distribution but getting regular people into Nostr is still far, far harder than it needs to be.

The socials are just opt-in spam now. Like a Hotmail inbox out of control. The failure to recognise it is the most staggering to me; the unimportant and the deranged is given as much airtime and credibility as the critical and profound. This is because the old guard have totally lost control and has resorted to simply reading the internet to the elderly. When we look up from our phones and disregard the spam, signal will cut through.

Decades of underinvestment.
