We began the era of AI in 2025 for real. Yes, a lot of the hype is fake and fiat but just like with the internet, when the dust settles and bubbles pop, it will be obvious to everyone how productive we can become with it. In the new era however, trust is becoming an issue: the same tool that boosts productivity in good hands can generate slop in another. The result is more of everything, just like with the internet, and filtering noise is going to be the name of the game. That's why we need places of high trust. The more open and auditable while remaining curated is the right recipe. This is where builders and creatives will thrive. #BudaBit adheres to the Nostr standard to achieve the high-trust environment builders need. Open but curated. Inclusive and Exclusive can indeed coexist in this paradigm, and it will work like a charm. It is a small colony now. It will be an army of freedom tech builders tomorrow. https://budabit.club

Discord promised us ownership of our groups. It is all over their wording like "Create your Server" and such. The reality? They run your server and they can shut it down at will. It turns out that discord controls just about everything from users to data and integrations. It's the usual closed platform with minimal twists to make it seem like it's "yours". The usual fiat mentality of minimum effort short-term, traded for lock-in longterm. We want better. We want: 1. Open-source 2. Easy-to-run 3. Portability guarantees: standardized data formats signed with sovereign identites. In one word: Nostr #BudaBit does not compromise on the freedom aspect. It is the harder path, so why bother? Because the future is freedom tech and open-source, and don't answer to fiat VCs. Come build your future with BudaBit! https://budabit.club

The idea: web extensions / plugin systems for high flexibilty, Nostr #WoT to improve confidence in plugin security: Come and watch the exciting plans for BudaBit, where builders share their innovations and can be contributors to the community at the same time! #BudaBitDemoDay

BudaBit brings community-driven FOSS development to a whole new level, while GitHub is busy getting enshittified: https://youtu.be/xTSar1SEmIU They essentially want to seek rent from self-hosted CI-s, via their platform lock-in. It was always going to end up like this when you set a system up for capture. We need to gradually deplatform ourselves away from capture, towards more freedom. We will not wait until we are rugged again and again, just because another new shiny platform is making another empty promise. We want well-designed protocols and systems with cryptographic guarantees. This is what #BudaBit is about:

If you want to make a New Year's commitment that serves you well: Build and ship more often. We created BudaBit Demo Day so builders can commit to ship regularly and more importantly, **to receive regular feedback** . Just a couple more pair of fresh eyes to get out of that sticky rut that holds us back. A deadline we can always use to not quit. To discover new ways. To connect with the cypherpunk hivemind. "By Endurance we conquer" - a principle BudaBit took to heart from #SEC and takes to the virtual realm to spread far and wide.

The folks at are innovating non-stop! They already signed up for #BudaBitDemoDay ! Come check it out on https://budabit.club ! Got your own project? Apply today!

We are improving #BudaBit non-stop, to be the go-to place for builders in freedom tech who want to learn, share, collaborate and discuss technical topics. It has social features like threads, chat rooms and calendar, as well as a code collab part that can work with any git-hosting platform and will allow **a seamless PR workflow no matter where you host your code.** And the best part? It's powered by nostr. All data, be it social or git-related is verifiable anywhere by anyone. It is open-source and highly extensible as a nostr app should be. We call this model "Community driven development". It is best suited NOT for closed corporations but for people who think they thrive building in the open. Check out our latest event series on https://budabit.club where we want builders to showcase their work for more visibility and an excellent learning experience for the presenters!
