Followed and will sign up!! If I find a way to burn CDs I’ll participate 😄 one thing though I tried to remote sign in via primal but get a 404 page on https://summerburn.shakespeare.wtf/remoteloginsuccess

The app is actually just the Nearhood website I saved to my iOS Home Screen 😄 notifications there are (unfortunately) not pure nostr nips or DMs as I wanted them to be locally requested and not encrypted (the DMs on nearhood are encrypted and gift wrapped).

You’d get notifications for events you have bookmarked, messages people send you (those are encrypted) and events you RSVP to, but it’s using a layer on top of nostr to handle those notifications

Fun!!

Me too - I really love how nostr gives you all these tools and if you use them the system is interoperable! I use NIP-52 for RSVPs, but I don’t think DMs are that clunky? Useful for sharing location details etc?

Haha exactly! How do we get the normies to join?!

Go Belgium!! 🇧🇪

(The source is an event from CMHs event page posted onto eventbrite, club orange and the nearhood nostr page)

What do you think about the security vs convenience aspect?

I have a little nostr project for people who live in London who want to connect to their local communities (nearhood.co.uk), there I just generate nostr keys in a deterministic way using their device passkeys (so you’ll get the same account on your phone and desktop if you sync passkeys - or use a yubikey or something). Users don’t need to know what nostr is and they won’t forget their keys.

Downside of course is that they need to trust the website company not to steal their account by submitting the key to the server.. so there is a “trust” there..

but in theory this could perhaps be seen in the web console if one wanted to investigate it?

I definitely think we need to spread nostr by other means than just advertising the protocol itself. Even better if it’s being used without people having to know what it is!
