When we launched 'My List' on freedom.tech, syncing your personal feed across devices worked one way: with your own Nostr key. Sign the list, retreive it anywhere.

That is still there, and it is still the best option if you already run a key.

But @Seth For Privacy pointed out the obvious gap. Plenty of people wanting their own cross-device custom feed do not have a Nostr key yet.

So there is now a second option: a sync code.

Star the projects you care about, hit Sync My List, and you get a code. No email, no password, nothing to remember but the code itself. Paste it on your phone, your laptop, anywhere else, and the same list shows up. Lose the browser, keep the code, keep the list.

Two ways in, same result. Pick whichever suits you.

One more thing: that code is not only for syncing. It is the thread we are hanging a few more things on. More on that soon.

LOVE TO SEE IT

Freedom.tech is officially back!

@Seth For Privacy built it a few years ago as a home for freedom tech writing. When he moved on from the @Foundation team it sat dormant and never really got the love it deserved. It's running again now, as something different.

If you run any freedom tech yourself, a node, a wallet, a relay, a self-hosted box, you need to know when it changes. Especially when it's a security patch. Most of that lands in changelogs nobody reads, and you find out weeks late or not at all.

Freedom.tech is no longer a blog. It's an daily intelligence desk for all things Freedom Tech.

Every morning it reads through around 500 release feeds, changelogs and security advisories, and writes up what actually shipped across Bitcoin, Nostr, privacy tools, self-hosting and AI. The site produces multiple different outputs:

1. A daily brief posted each morning (UTC) summarizing the releases for the past 24 hour window (auto posted to X and here on Nostr)
2. A weekly recap on Sunday evening (also auto-posted to X and Nostr)
3. A release page for every single release, building a running history for every project on the source list

You can also subscribe to have the weekly recap sent to you every Sunday, or subscribe to the RSS feed.

The summaries are written by an LLM. Nobody is hand-reading 500 feeds a day. Every item links straight to the upstream notes, so you can check the source yourself. When a project ships notes with nothing in them, it says so instead of inventing something.

You can also star the projects you care about into your own list so you don't need to scroll through project releases you have no interest in. The list syncs across devices as a NIP-51 list signed with your own key, so it travels with you. Sync for non-Nostr users is planned.

Freedom.Tech is where lots the research for the @Ungovernable #FreedomTechFriday show comes from. You'll find the latest episode is always up on the home page.

Behind the scenes, Freedom.Tech is built and maintained by @QnA of @Foundation
