I've thought about this a lot before and the main issue is context isolation and supporting other apps with service works.
generally service workers can do almost everything on a single domain, but once you start getting into sub-domains things get really complicated and or impossible

Generally to do the same task. but when your working on something specific and it needs to be reliable and fast, less is better

Which app or package are you seeing this on? I've tried to keep track of all the places I've hard-coded relays
I updated a bunch of code a while ago to remove that relay, but it also forced me to update applesauce to account for dead relays. so next version will be able to handle dead relays in requests

2026-03-24 18:01:06 UTC

Rewrote nsite-gateway again, this time half manually to make it more reliable and faster.
https://jsr.io/@hzrd149/nsite-gateway
Pushed the update to https://nsite.lol so it testable now. the homepage might not be as pretty but the gateway no longer hangs or times out as much when streaming files from blossom server.

https://cdn.hzrd149.com is now running the latest deno version of my blossom server implementation https://jsr.io/@hzrd149/blossom-server
I don't think anyone besides myself uses it, but its faster now and does not crash when its hit with lots of uploads at once

2026-03-19 23:48:24 UTC

For anyone running my blossom server implementation https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server I just pushed a "next" version with a docker image.
Its a complete rewrite using deno and has dedicated upload workers. I've done a little testing and its way faster and much more stable than the old version.
https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server/pkgs/container/blossom-server/747019692?tag=next
It should also be a direct upgrade from the old version, but please don't be reckless and make backups

Its really difficult to test when a pubkey was last active, mostly because you have a make 1 request per pubkey to find their last event
Doable but it would be slow, although maybe it would be possible to use a trusted assertions provider or primals caching server to get a general idea of activity

Just checked, its up and running 👍
Make sure you are using the URL https://mcp.applesauce.build/mcp

Its not a matter of privacy or paranoia. its that I cant reject signing requests. even when approve the request to sign NIP-42 events it still keeps asking for the same relays (seems like a bug)
My frustration is that this is the case for ALL nostr apps I've tried in the last year. every. single. one. of them expects me to click the "approve all" button and never look back, no concept of limiting the scope, no concept that are things I don't want to sign.
The offender is specifically NIP-42 and now every app I've tried eagerly authenticates me to the relay before it even needs to make a request for events.
Although WISP is probably the least offender here since its only asking me to sign auth events for relays on my list

How would MoQ fit into this? for streaming uploads?
I'm thinking about adding multi-part uploads but thats after I get the server working https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom/pull/67

2026-03-17 16:16:33 UTC

50% success rate on uploading 6 RHR episodes to the new deno blossom-server that is running on a 1 CPU and 1Gb server. very slow but considering just one of these uploads would kill the old server I'm very happy with this.

Not sure what the authentication errors are from yet, technically the server handled all 6 uploads fine. but I guess there is a bug somewhere with long running uploads...

Read this article on a whim... And one question. Are opinion writers paid to be dense?...
Half the article is spent rightly making fun of legislators on the absurdity of OS level age verification. But then the writer goes on to say "These kinds of laws don't work. They've never worked. Prohibition failed in the United States."
Failed? Yes if you consider that it failed to ban alcohol in the states, but was a great success for introducing liquor licenses and other licensing bureaucracy.
This is an opinion piece, the least the writer could do is read between the lines a little and see where this is going.
Anyways, it's just frustrating when I read articles about X or Y law nowadays and they all conclude with "this will never work because..." and completely failing to imagine that law X is never supposed to work, its supposed to change culture.

It could be a bug. Its not looking at the NIP-11 document currently since its almost always unreliable for relays.
Instead its setup to connect to the relay and query for kind 1059 gift wraps and wait to see if the relay responds with an auth-required:
Might need to fix the test or switch it to NIP-11 + REQ test

Mainly because there are rate limits on the big public relays, so it's not possible to publish a lot of gift wraps.
The relay can generate 100s of gift wraps on demand when the client connects and requests them

2026-03-12 11:14:43 UTC

- reply

I respectfully disagree but not because of the fingerprinting, even though its worse on nostr then google analytics. but because when apps push users to sign NIP-42 indiscriminately they are effectively pushing the user to give full control of their nsec over to the app, presuming the user clicks "approve all".
The best thing the user can do with these apps is select "approve all relay auth" but nothing else. but then we are left here where the client the dox the user to any relay they happen to connect to.

Fully reactive NIP-66 monitor UI for checking inbox / outbox status.

The "view" is written by composing RxJS streams and returning a stream of "state" that the react UI renders. so there isn't any useState or useEffect in the react UI, everything is handled in RxJS.
This means that once I build the state stream, the agent can easily vibe code a UI on top of it to modify the inputs and then render the outputs, no messy state in the UI components

The single list of notifications tended to get very cluttered and half the time was showing stuff your not looking for. i.e. reactions or zaps when you checking to see if anyone replied to you.

How are you supposed to request a relay to delete nip-17 gift wraps when you can't prove you created them?

2025-12-18 16:11:24 UTC

Been working on applesauce V5 and one of the biggest changes is simplifying the API and hopefully making it so that the user ( and AI agent ) doesn't have to fully understand RxJS when using the library.
To test this I've been having fun building out a NIP-60 wallet that does not show a random balance every time you open it. and it has a much lower chance of loosing your money compared to other NIP-60 wallets I've tested :)
Jokes aside this is 1200 lines of code ( probably 80% is react UI components ) and it has all the features Id want in a wallet. I've still got a few minor bugs and its missing a send and zap tab but when its finished it will probably less than 1500 lines of code

Discipline them...
Honestly not sure though. the API for applesauce isn't very similar to other libraries that the models are used to. so it either takes a large "rules" context for them to understand it. or I have to clean up the API
For applesauce V4 I've found the most success by pointing them at the specific examples in the "examples" folder that I want them to copy. although that means that depending on how much code you give them it will fill up their context window. So I've been doing a lot of cleanup on the API for V5 that will hopefully make it easier for AI models to at least guess what the method names are :)

This is the way to go. last version of noStrudel I hastily added support for client side WoT and filtering based on that and it didn't work well. I've been fighting performance issues ever since

Maybe just archive it? A lot of us use it as a reference and it's easy to read

@npub1agh…mhct is an awesome home server for users, but its quickly becoming my favorite deployment platform.
It has a full file browser in the UI and network sharing 😁

Also supports custom app stores. although @npub1agh…mhct it would be nice if it was easier to manage custom app stores without having to click through 2-3 menus

Sorry to everyone having issues with #noStrudel I haven't forgot about the app but I've been busy (distracted) with building out the applesauce SDK
Once applesauce has feature parody with noStrudel. then I plan to go through noStrudel and replace all the legacy code with new tested code from applesauce. then in theory there will be 0 bugs...

I created a simple outbox selection method for applesauce that averages about 30 websocket connections for the 311 pubkeys I follow who have published NIP-65 outbox relays.
Super excited to start using it as a drop in outbox model for smaller web apps
It doesn't take relay "quality" (online, speed, etc) into account so the apps will still have to account for those things, but it manages to get @npub180c…h6w6's notes, so thats proof it works 😁

I guess the domain expired, I'll have to update it or remove it next version

2025-08-31 06:39:37 UTC

I'm not the only one who finds this annoying. I don't use any other native Nostr app because everytime I do its asking for random decryption requests or authentication signatures to some random relay I don't trust.
And the worst part is it doesn't take "no" for an answer

I accidentally let my certificate expire. but I fixed that about a week ago. but something happened to my LNVPS, it doesn't show anymore and I cant connect to it :(

Continuing to remove more lines and padding from noStrudels design. once I get something I like I think ill try and cleanup the main timeline and thread view

why auth in the first place? last time I opened amethyst it asked me to sign 100+ auth events. I don't understand...

I'm familiar with the kind 1068 polls from NIP-88 but where does the kind 6969 come from?
#noStrudel doesn't support any polls yet, but I've added support for NIP-88 in applesauce so at some point ill add the feature to the app

hmm... I was thinking of using zod because its a fancy new typescript library. but there is merit in having a language agnostic schema
Although it wouldn't work with typescript unless I built a compiler from schema -> zod -> types

I have this saying I like to repeat to myself a lot when it comes to software development. "don't lie to your users"
It sounds obvious but so many developers don't get it, or at least don't see the whole picture and there is a moment in this podcast that illustrates my point perfectly.
At 42:00 Chris looks down at the recording software and it says "connection unstable". he gets upset, and starts asking why and how the connection could be unstable but because the software cant talk back it never answers his question... Obviously we don't want software to talk (yet) but my point is that it notified him that it detected an issue but refused (lied) to tell him the reason why, or how it detected the issue.
Was the connection unstable because it lost 50% of packets? is the latency over 5 seconds? is the recording software lagging due to CPU?
The software *knows* the issue, otherwise it couldn't have detected it. but the developer decided to lie to the user. probably because they thought the user wouldn't understand. but this just leaves the user in the dark and easily frustrated which leads to them quickly loosing confidence in your software.
Don't lie to your users, if there is an issue tell them about it and what it is. even if they don't understand at least you will still have a user.

P.S. @npub1dtf…hgu0 might be better to use OBS to record long podcast (vlogs) then some internet connected thing. but idk, I don't vlog :)
