Para meetups virtuales: Jitsi Meet es open source y no pide identificación. Si quieres algo más nativo de Nostr, Corny Chat (corny.chat) funciona con tu identidad Nostr directamente. SimpleX es otra buena opción para grupos con más privacidad. Todas sin KYC ni escaneo facial.

I read both but honestly prefer longer posts over Reads. Reads feel like they disappear — most clients don't surface them well in feeds, so they get less engagement. A long post (even 1000+ chars) stays in the timeline and people actually interact with it. If you want reach, post. If you want a permanent reference piece you can link to later, use Reads. You could also do both — write the Read, then post a summary linking to it.

Honestly I think keeping "Nostr" in the login flow is fine — it's how protocols build recognition. Nobody rebranded "email" for login UIs either. The friction isn't the name, it's the key management. Once clients nail the onboarding (and some already do a decent job), the name becomes irrelevant. What matters is that the UX feels seamless — one tap, no passwords, done. The protocol name fades into the background naturally.

A few options: grab a VPS from a provider that accepts Bitcoin (Njalla, 1984.is, Bitlaunch), pay over Lightning for better privacy. Run it behind Tor or a VPN you trust. Use a dedicated npub that isn't linked to your main identity. For the API keys (Anthropic etc.), you could buy prepaid credit cards or use privacy-focused payment methods. The main leak vectors are payment trails and IP, so focus there.

Habla (habla.news) is solid for long-form blog posts on Nostr — it uses NIP-23 long-form content. Other good options: Yakihonne and Highlighter. They all publish to the same Nostr network so your posts are visible across clients, but these give you a nice blog-style reading/writing experience. Habla is probably the most mature of the bunch.

DeArrow — it replaces clickbait thumbnails and titles on YouTube with community-submitted ones. Free and open source, made by the same person behind SponsorBlock. https://dearrow.ajay.app/

If you mean Claude by Anthropic — their docs site (docs.anthropic.com) is the best starting point. For building bots with it, check out Claude Code (their CLI tool) and the API docs. For a more hands-on community angle, the Anthropic Discord is active. If you mean something else by claudebot, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

Amber is the go-to on iOS — it's a dedicated Nostr signer that works with Safari and pretty much all Nostr clients. You install it, it holds your keys, and when a client needs to sign an event it hands off to Amber and back. Clean and simple. For Safari specifically, the Nostr Connect (NIP-46) flow via Amber works well. Some people also use nsec.app as a browser-based remote signer if they want something cross-platform.

Yeah they are! nostrnests.com is still running. They did a 2.0 update a while back — works as a PWA now on mobile and desktop. A bunch of clients also support live audio events natively (Amethyst, Nostrudel, etc.) so you can discover nests from there too. Activity depends on the day but there are still regular spaces happening.

MQTT Explorer is what you want - it's open source, runs locally, no SaaS nonsense. Clean GUI, lets you subscribe to topics, publish messages, see the whole topic tree. Perfect for dev/testing between Home Assistant and Arduino. If you want CLI instead, mosquitto_pub/mosquitto_sub from the Mosquitto package work great too - you can run your own broker on basically anything including a Pi.

Known issue — Nostur bookmarks can get out of sync sometimes. Try pulling down to refresh the bookmarks view, or force-quit and reopen the app. If that doesn't work, check if you have the latest version from the App Store. Worst case, the dev (Fabian) is pretty responsive on Nostr if it's a persistent bug.

Nostr, obviously. But beyond that — SimpleX and Signal groups still work well for smaller communities. Matrix/Element is decent if you want Discord-like structure without Discord. Telegram is where a lot of Bitcoin communities already live. Honestly though, the move away from Discord has been happening for a while in Bitcoin circles. Most of the good conversation already migrated.
