Is still a thing?

And at some point the government will be a proxy for social media corps

Ah ok, yeah I don't have a physical tablet to test on so thanks for mentioning that, I will try to reproduce. As for the keyboard handling, I assume you mean on the tablet/mobile also right?

That's a good point and aligns with my experience even today in developing countries where people have a decent amount of day to day freedom because the administrative state is too broke to fuck with them. Maybe someday we'll attain high life expectancy Medievalism

> bot is muted but still shows up in notifications... Will fix thanks. To input emojis, just type `:` (colon) and it will open up an emoji search box!

Although to clarify I feel like the "peak freedom" local maximum may have been around 2010

Yes

I doubt that the average person who lived 100 years ago had more freedom than we do today

I have a theory that nothing actually ever gets fixed. Things just die, and then, ex nilhio, new things come into being, and it's all good.

Regressive Web App (RWA)

Looks great man

It occurred to me that the new key rotation thing makes it possible to implement a credible low friction "Sign up with email, then migrate a self custody nostr id later" sort of flow. So basically the way it would work is that the client allows the person to sign up with email, and you have a backend service that generates an nsec for them, and the backend signs stuff for them. Then if the user wants to move to self custody at any point, they go in their account settings and click like "Enable self custody" or something. This causes the client to generate a local nsec in the usual way, and the backend creates a key rotation event pointing at the self custodied nsec, and as soon as it's timestamped, immediately rotates to that new nsec. So far so good. However, there is still a problem -- there's no way for the backend to prove that it did not also publish an earlier timestamped rotation event with the new pubkey (which would allow the backend to rug the user in the future) But we can solve this by having the user rotate *again* (using their new nsec) to a second locally generated nsec. (which the backend service could not have known, and thus could not have created any prior key rotation events for) So bottom line is, yeah it involves two rotations (ie a 20 minute process on average given block time) but it massively reduces sign up friction while providing a way to migrate to self custody while keeping the social graph you may have accumulated prior to rotating into self custody.

That's surprising

It's not Jumble haha, it's built from scratch

What's up guys After my year break from social media I deployed the total rebuild of https://satellite.earth I created over course of these past 12 months. It's a major upgrade. The old Satellite was cool aesthetically but was not functional enough to be a daily driver. I had to fix this, to make the nostr client that I've always wanted. Something beautiful that gets the basics right. I changed the front page and the profile pages to focus on *just* what you're looking for, but I kept reddit-style threads because they are amazing for reading long conversations, e.g https://satellite.earth/thread/note15yhl85e6jnayprt3ufp4ucuzwqry0uxd8sxqn4twctxxf4gkfdpsfyea0e I got rid of NIP-172 communities. They were just too messy. I'm working on replacing them with relay-based communities instead (something like what has been cooking). This will be ready and deployed in the near term. In the meantime, straight up relay feeds are already functional. You just have to type the url in yourself, e.g. https://satellite.earth/relay/pyramid.fiatjaf.com You can create aggregate relay feeds too by just including multiple comma separated relays in the url, e.g. https://satellite.earth/relay/pyramid.fiatjaf.com,relays.land/spatianostra Satellite CDN got reworked and refreshed as well. You can now see all your transactions, your current balance, and your burn rate. It's way more clear now what's going on. I added client side search, based on your social graph (or *my* social graph if you're not signed in). It pulls all your contacts, your contacts' contacts, and indexes your web of trust locally. Believe it or not this is actually quite performant (especially if you are on a multicore machine). To be clear, this is not really *search*. Something like what is building that is not strictly local will be necessary for finding obscure people. This is essentially navigation UX, and it works great for jumping to someone's profile when you know where you want to go. Notifications are super reliable now. Aside the feed working well (which is the #1 live or die UX that absolutely must work) having notifications that are useful and where you can reply immediately from the interface without hunting down the post context is pretty important. Added NIP17 support. Maintained legacy NIP04 support for existing chats only. The future is style Marmot Protocol (pending) One of things that always annoyed me about legacy social media is that they spend all their screen real estate trying to get you to go somewhere *else* (???) I mainly designed this profile page to be the client that I want to use. I want to link to my page and not have the sidebars to like a billboard or something. In the new Satellite the profile page looks pretty and only shows your stuff (and nothing else) Added full featured rich text editor. This was one of the main things the old Satellite was lacking. In the new Satellite you can upload media inline, directly to Satellite CDN or whichever is your preferred blossom server. Mentions, emojis, embedding nostr notes inline are supported as well. The Satellite CDN UI is much improved as well, especially if you have lots of files. The terms and cost are the same as old Satellite. You can upload big files (like > 5GB). Bandwidth is free. $0.05/GB/mo. Prepaid. Lightning only. If you want a nice blossom-compatible gallery UX to be a home for all your media on nostr, I would encourage you to check it out. I added some other thread improvements too. One feature I'm really happy about in the new Satellite is that you can link directly to deeply nested reply, e.g. https://satellite.earth/thread/note1lqgmper99zj566xlc0gha4fmx4929njdckcq2w80yej0vrkcsyqqkqqh4s#note1zukmyf2nxrn5xamzawdez6f9egzaexjlhtjsza07rd7df9fn89esd40url The ability to link to replies while seeing the whole context of the conversation I feel like really increases the "surface area" of the thread. * * * There are some more cool things in the pipeline. Relay communities are the priority right now. After that I will show you guys the new relay that I also built during this 12 month interlude.
