What:
y-nostr - prospectus
Why:
yjs is garnering 500k per week downloads at npmjs. y-nostr will provide a convenient way for developers to add nostr infrastructure to a familiar interface. The resulting adoption of nostr will be astounding.
Who:
Cole Albon with help from existing work
- https://github.com/YousefED/nostr-crdt
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/yjs
- y-indexeddb
- y-websocket
- y-webrtc
- y-nostr <— this project coming soon, needs funding:
How:
The existing nostr-crdt has the functionality, but is broken since a recent upgrade of nostr-tools.
- modify the code in nostr-crdt to work with current nostr-tools and repackage as y-nostr.
- swap out nostr-tools for NDK. NDK comes with a best in class approach to security, and we think NDK is probably up to the task.
Developer Background:
- 1999 - modified the Melissa virus to become one of the first commercial email marketing engines.
- 2000 - as a sales dude, wrote a vt-100 terminal scraper to harvest the Insight Corporation open/orphan orders. Successfully traded resulting lead lists colleagues for favors and food.
- 2013 - launched ripple-bandit.com the worlds first dice address on the ripple payment platform.
- 2016 - created blocktool, a tool to denormalize utxo transactions to a corporate analytics friendly format.
- 2019 - partnered with some dude from Nike - 2nd place in the Portland Blockstack hackathon - dice address for stacks this time.
- 2023 - launched git-nostr a pure shell script program to replace git-ssb (secure scuttlebutt) - allows hosting cryptography projects in the EU.
- 2024 - flat broke, need work soon.
Please send money or direct me to an appropriate grant application.
