As a happy Framework owner, what does this even mean?

gm, good people. ☕

Reminiscing about the abusive ex from your 20s and the good times you had, despite it all.

Reminiscing about X.

Same energy.

I wasn't going to, but then I thought about this kind of response and I decided, yeah, yeah, I'm going to.

Working on hugostr — a CLI tool that publishes Hugo blog posts to nostr as kind:30023 events. It uses NIP-46 (remote signing) so users can sign events with their phone (Amber, Primal, et al).

The flow and where I'm stuck

1. User runs hugostr publish content/post.md
2. CLI displays a QR code with nostrconnect:// URI
3. User scans with Amber, approves the connection
4. CLI shows "Connected!" ✅
5. CLI shows "Requesting signature..." then hangs forever ❌
6. Amber never shows a signing prompt

Technical details

- Using nostr-tools library (v2.19.4) with BunkerSigner
- Relay: wss://relay.nsec.app
- The initial NIP-46 handshake completes successfully
- When calling bunkerSigner.signEvent(), it should:
1. Publish a kind:24133 event with encrypted sign_event request
2. Amber receives it, prompts user, sends back signed event
3. But step 2 never happens - Amber doesn't see the request

What I've tried

1. nostr-tools BunkerSigner - connection works, signing hangs
2. NDK's NDKNip46Signer - same issue
3. Checked relay connectivity - pool.publish() works in isolation
4. Added reconnection logic after connection - no change

Suspected causes

1. Pool/WebSocket connection state gets corrupted after the initial handshake
2. Subscription filter issue (Amber uses since = now())
3. Something specific to how nostr-tools manages the post-connection subscription

What would help

- Anyone who has successfully used NIP-46 client-initiated flow (nostrconnect://) from Node.js with Amber
- A working reference implementation to compare against
- Insight into common NIP-46 pitfalls

Halp? #asknostr

In his lane. Happy. Moisturized. Flourishing.

I have an idea.

Four times live, so far. 🤘🏻

"… we need to decouple meritocracy from credentialocracy, and we must return to a state in which meritocracy can flourish. This will require unlearning the progressive garbage that’s replaced critical thinking over the past 55+ years, and an economic environment that fosters individual initiative."

Worthwhile long read.
