GM Nostr 🌞 I'm starting my day with an If you're a dev and you're looking for an impactful project to help on, White Noise would love to have you. A small group of us have started alpha testing and there's LOTS to do. Small bug fixes, improvements to the UI, and many features all waiting patiently to be worked on - https://github.com/erskingardner/whitenoise/issues I've done my best to build the project to be easy to understand and easy to collaborate on and I've very willing to help you get setup. The app is Rust on the backend and Sveltekit on the frontend. Ping me directly or be a cypherpunk and just clone the project, start writing code and submit PRs. 🙏
GM Nostr! 🌞 🎁 Announcing Keycast 🔑 A remote signing platform for teams. https://share.cleanshot.com/y4XbqKpT Remote signing (NIP-46) has always had a lot of promise. Apps like Amber, nsec.app, and others have made it possible to manage your nostr keys in a way that is safer than browser extensions or pasting your nsec around the internet. BUT, none of them catered to teams. Groups like npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l and npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk and many many companies out there are just sharing the main account nsec between different people and using it in different apps. A recipe for disaster. Keycast aims to finally fix this. It allows you to: - Manage teams of nostr users - Manage multiple keys that you want to give others access to - Create authorizations for those keys that grant specific permissions that can be changed, revoked, etc. - Create your own custom permissions - Run the signing infrastructure without any extra work And do it all in a self-sovereign way. Keycast is meant to be run on your server, by you. I think it's tremendously important that this sort of tool doesn't exist as a hosted service (which would basically be a huge key honeypot over time). The app is both a management web app AND a backend process that manages sub-processes that listen for remote signing requests, check permissions, and sign events. There is a basic docker setup to start, but my goal is to have this easily deployable to StartOS, Umbrel, Podman, and others. Code here: https://github.com/erskingardner/keycast
Because I've spent the last 2.5 months arguing with Apple to even get a developer account set up for White Noise, AND I STILL DON'T HAVE ONE. The rest of my time over the last month has been debugging arcane strangeness in Android. For the most part, building on mobile sucks. And most people don't like to chew glass.
