Built a small frontend-only dead man’s switch on Nostr using kind 0 and 1 events.

Built it with newcomers in mind. Wanted the UX to be clear without watering things down. Just a hobby project, but it got me thinking how future Nostr apps might need to find the balance between staying true to the protocol and guiding newcomers so they don’t give up.

@calle how do you approach making Nostr more accessible for new users, while maintaining the core terms and architecture without overwhelming them?

Built a small dead man’s switch on nostr. Frontend-only so browser has to be open.

Posts to 5 relays simultaneously if you don't check back in. Uses keys designed for one-time use and type 0 and type 1 nostr events.

I started with Codename Goose for the base files, then kept refining. Normal Claude chats were also a huge help.

First time building anything like this and just did it for fun. I’m sure there’s plenty that could be improved. Open source on Guthub.

Honestly, I never would’ve tried if it weren't for the community on nostr and being inspired by the builders here and the cool projects I’ve seen shipped.

Tagging a few folks whose work inspired me.

If Spark stablecoin payments gain traction, will routing fees for Lightning node operators match those from Taproot Asset transactions or standard Lightning payments, or is the fee model fundamentally different?

May be a dumb question but something I was thinking about.
