Weird. Have you tried Nostr Build Shack’s Safari extension? @npub137c…k37w actively develops it, whereas I’ve paused Nostr development for the time being.

I have a not well thought out idea that there needs to be a Zapstore-like mobile app where it’s your one-stop shop for onboarding to Nostr, secure key storage and profile management, signer, and Nostr App Store. It would be an entry point to all things Nostr but you would need to download micro apps through the app store to access specific functionality.

45 minute wait. Depending on your starting percentage, percentage, and overall utilization of the charging station, it can take up to an hour to charge. New York City is a special place where nothing makes sense. But if you’re on a long drive
outside of the city, it’s quick - no wait and charge for ~20 minutes to get 2-3 hours of drive to the next charging station.

It’s still terribly slow on web / desktop but I found a workaround: use Proton Bridge + IMAP email client (like Thunderbird or Apple Mail).

Leaving for a week-long business trip tomorrow morning and one of the legs underneath the bed decides to break. Added some makeshift support with cardboard boxes underneath so that my wife has somewhere to sleep while I’m gone but it’s janky as hell.

Sorry about the warning. I can assure you Nostash will not do any of those things. The only thing it does with respect to changing the page is add JavaScript functions onto the webpage window to access. I don’t think I can restrict the requested Safari extension permissions further. In theory, a malicious extension could read the DOM to scrape sensitive information, but that’s not what is happening. Nostash is open source so anybody can inspect it as long as you believe that is the code that I shipped to the App Store, and the app has been reviewed by Apple, so take that as you will.

Thanks for understanding. Feel free to propose these updates to the spec. We can encourage interoperability and have more clients do what you’re doing on Satlantis.

- reply

That’s fine, I don’t take it personally. But that’s not really how any of this works. NIPs are documenting what clients currently do. It’s not meant to restrict what you can do. If there’s something missing, you can extend the NIP or do something entirely differently if you think it’s wrong entirely. It’s not clear to me why anything needs to be “pulled off of it”. Can you extend the NIP to do what you need it to do?
