In the documentation, I don't see any mention of including external libraries. For example, do you have to do something special to use this nostr library with Pynecone? https://github.com/jeffthibault/python-nostr

Phone numbers became a “bigger deal” when they started being abused. People just started using instagram as a first means of contact because it felt less personal. It allowed for more “escape hatches” if it turns out that you don’t like the

I think the ideal social network would just extend the natural social networks of real life. Moxie at Signal was right when he said the real “social network” is just your phone contacts.

> Why is this obsession with decentralized? One reason could be that decentralization reduces the liability on the company. They could save huge costs in letting users self-moderate and in not being responsible for illegal content.

A member of the team explained that they have a game called Creative Playground (beta testing is open now) where 90% of it is written in Rust, where they still rely on physx and MoltenVK in C++. So it seems like their other games then are m

Rich Hickey’s talks may outlive Clojure itself. In some sense, the principles he taught and aimed for were the ideal. Clojure today wasn’t necessarily the ideal. I think there could be room for a better Clojure than Clojure, so to speak

I never tried "structured" drawing before. I think it's a sort of different skill. But I think it's also how you really start to unlock the ability to draw from imagination (without a reference). Drawing from sight will

One thing that I was shocked by is how mentally taxing it is to sit down and draw for X minutes. It's like meditation. Extremely hard work. Makes you appreciate an artist that can draw / paint a subject for hours at a time. The bo

I’m keeping my eyes on Farcaster and Nostr. BlueSky AKA “at protocol” seems too bloated to me. It really feels like everything in the architecture overview could have been 2x more simple.

I think the architecture is the issue. Nobody wants their account owned by a random guy running a server as a hobby.

I would love to try it out, but what is the current user experience exactly? All the code is in Rust, so is it command line only for now? Is there a text editing app with a social element where you follow other people?

This could be used with Nostr[1] to add a ton of privacy! The added privacy would even be a reason to pay for using the server. As of now, a lot of privacy is lost when you actually look at Nostr events. There are servers that check to see

For what it's worth, I remember someone shared Pleroma code in the Elixir forum and some veterans there said it was a very non-standard way of organizing an Elixir codebase. It could be possible that Pleroma is not very idiomatic Elixi
