i'm sure damus will just stop working at some point with all the people trying to break social nostr. the goal of interop on nostr is slowly fading. lets just keep breaking the interop so that only a few clients work. great plan.

key shares going to the channel wouldn’t do anything because only people with the key have the channel. So you have to giftwrap the keyshare. This spec handles groups of any size without any performance issues or extra storage

eta for what

2026-08-11 04:49:39 UTC

Using NIP-SNS for private team data. Its like giftwrap+PNS.
- Zero metadata on envelope (no tags).
- Knowledge of the team key allows you to seal posts to the team channel
- Seals are member-signed, nip44 encrypted inner-envelopes with rumors inside.
- Adding team members is just sharing your team key via giftwrap. No need to rewrap existing notes to new members.
- Members posting SNS notes under this channel reveals no info to relays.
- Member sealed notes can’t be leaked to relays just like giftwraps.
- it’s basically giftwraps without the p tag, because the p tag is already known from the team pubkey
- its an encrypted channel where members can share notes to each other!
- Key rotation is just giftwrapping the new team key (generation+1) to the new member set (allows you to remove members)
Added support for this to nostrdb so it will automatically unwrap these.
Going to use this for most of the shared private data in notedeck (shared issue boards, shared agent sessions, notion/obsidian style notes, etc)
Cheers! 🍻

clightning is great. I was even building something called btcmerchant at one point which used cln as a backend. Was btcpayserver without the server. Very small attack surface because it just uses clns rune system which is quite secure and powerful. Kind of like nostr clients but the relay is the lightning node.

coding harness and issue tracker is fully integrated with each other and work over nostr. runs off the relay in my home, no third parties needed. I build most of my software from my phone these days. Way more powerful than buzz and uses less tokens.

sneak peek at rich hyperlinks in notedeck. both notebook and dave have no idea about headway (our issue tracker), but can render an inline issues when it see a headway reference (eg: notedeck#label-orphan-chalk)
this is because when you create a notedeck app, you can provide parsers and renderers to the browser! then any app can use these parsers/renderers to render rich hyperlinks. fun! https://i.nostr.build/Mx8shlCwWbl4KtGg.png https://i.nostr.build/1LvZQDyc8bN9QrMZ.png https://i.nostr.build/Ys7gx85wJ5Kjful0.png

I recently did a 2 tab lsd trip and the hallucinations were so intense my entire consciousness effectively collapsed into some kind of existential spiral. When i came out of it i was 1000% convinced i actually died and that the new consciousness i was experiencing was some kind of virtual afterlife because everything was cel-shaded, glitchy, and virtual.
I was like this for hours until the effect wore off and my brain started rendering things normally again.
I totally understand mkultra now, it can make you believe stuff that is completely fabricated by your mind. Never doing 2 tab again. Maybe.

2026-07-30 11:18:32 UTC

since notedeck is becoming such a useful runtime os for nostr apps, found myself needing a “headless” mode today. This works because notedeck apps have two parts:
1. A “update” call which drives the app logic.
2. A “render” call which draws the ui using immediate mode rendering
Headless mode can just call update on all notedeck apps periodically. should be relatively easy: just don’t create a gpu surface and don’t call render.
What this gives you: since agentium is a notedeck app, spawning it on a server will resume all of your claude code session automatically since they are tracked by nostr events in agentium.
and now that notedeck apps have tool definitions, it automatically becomes an mcp server for agentium as well, exposing agentium sessions as things you can interact with via claude code itself:
notedeck —headless —apps agentium,headway —mcp
“Hey claude, show me what all my agents are doing and update my headway boards with their progress”.
notedeck maintains a local relay so all these apps work together regardless of internet connection. It automatically syncs with other notedeck nodes via the private relay sync feature and negentropy as well.
Its basically a new operating system and runtime environment for nostr apps that agents can discover and interact with. Lots of opportunities here.

I bought some new magsafe chargers only to realize they slightly changed the size of the new ones: 1mm smaller diameter and 1mm thinner.
The result of this is that it no longer fits snug into the magsafe desk clamp and the phone pulls it out when you try to remove it.
So i spent hours rescaling and remodeling the model i was using so that everything fit snug again.
Worked great!
My next challenge is to design a custom apple watch charger mount that fits perfectly onto my desk riser without needing a clamp.
