I canceled my Cursor subscription today. It has felt for a while that they stopped building for the way I want to work with AI. Then the bugs keep getting worse, and the SpaceX acquisition doesn't give me a lot of hope that things will get better.

I spent yesterday using VSCodium and my homebrew agent orchestration system in tmux. I also tried emdash (https://emdash.ai/), and retried Archon (https://github.com/coleam00/Archon).

I'm still feeling like small agent swarms with a mixture of models that pass work between themselves is the sovereign AI stack of the future. The manager of the swarm can paper over a lot of the small issues with LLMs. Plug in whatever cheap source of tokens you can find, mix in local models if you want, your interface stays the same. Put it all in a decent sandbox and dangerously skip permissions.

Has anyone tried https://buzz.xyz yet? Thoughts? How does it compare to something like gas town?

I finally finished my security audit of Horcrux, the last major project before release. It was a ton of work and honestly no fun at all, but I'm glad I did it as it gives me the confidence to finally open the app up for real world use. I've got a couple last bugs to fix and some marketing materials to write. Hoping to submit binaries to the app stores next week! If you want to check it out the audit it's published here: https://github.com/mplorentz/horcrux/blob/main/docs/security-audit-july-2026.md

The answer, unfortunately, is no.

Sweet. I would love a kind 1 client to order comments by one of these algorithms (mainly Most Relevant). I love browsing replies in the reddit-like tree of Nostrudel but often there are spam or off topic comments at the top. @hzrd149 @Pip the WoT guy

Any other Nostr apps you would like me to plug?

@daniele @fiatjaf I just tried creating a new account and using the promenade bunker and got an error when it was trying to "activate the bunker".

Is anyone hosting a version of https://use.nsec.app that still works? It seems like it's trying to do some NIP-05 allocation that is broken and I can't skip, and brugeman is gone.

I'm hosting a session at DWeb Camp next week for folks to interactively try Nostr. What apps should I encourage people new to the protocol to try? What is the best app to show first?
