No, most are POC that need more work. Code of most is published or will be in the next few days.

This week on Freedom Tech Friday we're joined by @npub18am…p424, DevRel at Soapbox, founder of Nostr Plebs, the guy people half-jokingly call "the Nostr CEO" (there isn't one, and that's the point).
We're digging into:
- Why he left Twitter for Nostr 3.5 years ago, and why he just came back to X
- Whether Nostr still matters in 2026
- Agora, the censorship-resistant "GoFundMe without borders" his team shipped in a single weekend, already being used by activists in Venezuela

Today’s project: a PWA for AI-generated audio summaries of podcasts and articles.
Paste an RSS feed or an article URL. The pipeline transcribes, summarises to 5-10 minutes, and renders the output as an MP3 served in a private RSS feed I can subscribe to from any podcast app.
New episodes from my subscribed shows auto-flow as they publish.
The PWA replaces my podcast app entirely. Library, lock-screen controls, AirPods skip, scrub, bookmarks with notes, an Up Next queue that auto-plays, and a chat window that answers questions about whatever I’m listening to using only the source transcript.
Stack runs entirely on my Mac.
Whisper local for transcription. Kokoro local for TTS. Claude Sonnet 4.6 for summaries via the Claude Code CLI so it bills against my flat Max plan rather than per-token.
Everything served behind Tailscale, just for me.
No SaaS, no per-episode cost, no third party holding the data.
Oh, and I built the whole thing from my phone. 😂

Another proof-of-concept output from QnAI Labs for Passport Prime thanks to Claude and the KeyOS SDK.
• Generate and save passwords securely offline on Prime
• Connects via an amnesic browser extension
• Fill saved passwords with a swipe on Prime
• Domain aware requests. Prime only prompts to release data if the domain matches the site you're visiting
• Import your existing vault from Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, Apple, Proton
No cloud, no sync, no passwords saved in the browser. Your passwords live with you, on hardware you control.
What will you build?

Not NSD-derived, it's a fresh transport-agnostic JSON protocol (method names kept close to NIP-46), running over USB CDC-ACM via Web Serial today (dropped WebHID, Prime is composite) and WebSocket in the sim. BLE over QuantumLink for Envoy + mobile web is exactly where my head's at. Same message layer, new pipe, though it'll need client adoption to actually be useful.

Happy to share. Fair warning, very MVP with zero engineer review on our side so treat as proof of concept, but it works end-to-end: standard MV3 extension, content script injects window.nostr, service worker routes RPCs to an offscreen document hosting the transport (offscreen needed because navigator.serial isn't in MV3 service workers), and it talks to Prime over USB CDC-ACM via Web Serial with newline-delimited JSON, one request or response per line, same pattern as lnbits/nostr-signing-device.

Not right now. The closest you can get to that is manual onboarding that leverages no cloud and all three keycards, but it still has to be completed via Envoy.

Vibe coding gets a lot of hate, but look at what it's actually enabling in Bitcoin.
Non-developers are building real, useful privacy tools -- chain analysis scanners, UTXO management, wallet features. The barrier to entry for building freedom tech just dropped to having a good idea and some patience.

Passport Prime is finally shipping to customers, and we had Foundation CEO Zach Herbert on #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY to dig into the whole story.
3 years of building a completely new Rust-based operating system from scratch. A post-quantum encrypted Bluetooth protocol that starts with an airgapped QR code handshake. An open app platform where developers can build sandboxed apps without Foundation reviewing the code. All assembled domestically in the US.
Seth (@npub1tr4…2y5g), who used to work at Foundation and is now COO at Cake Wallet, said it plainly: "There is nothing that competes with this right now."
We also got into some interesting territory around Ledger reportedly charging crypto projects $250K for coin support, and Zach's take on why a sovereign phone isn't the move -- but an offline AI-era companion device is.
Plus Zach dropped that they're giving away 1000+ units to developers for their upcoming open SDK.
