oh... and on desktop, the keybindings work similar to ghostty, so you can do what you need to without jumping to the mouse.
just a personal preference.
and... i made it mobile. specifically for the wife.

ok. here it is.
it's a web-ui command center.
a agentic ai + bitcoin + nostr + discord-like web-ui.
i've been using it for a couple months.
focused a lot on ux/ui experience.
the reason... i hate the hermes tui look... and i felt like i wasn't really taking advantage of the agentic resource.
i also wanted a tool that i could operate the household from with the mrs (and eventually other fam members)...
and... i wanted something that looked nice.

#nevent1q…te8c
you're greeted by a really slick login page (https://batou.ai)
you use nostr to login
for new members/users, they get a quick walk through of the platform and what they can do
they'll that they have lightning wallet (NWC), a task list, and img/vid/audio gen buttons
there is also a whitenoise chat feature (very buggy atm) which is i use to chat with family members... still working through it...

the agent system is a hub/spoke model.
prime agent + a bunch of subagent
the general channel is tui level access. it reads/writes/executes/searches has persistent memory and helps with task writing, organizing and all the bitcoin stuff
it sees all and knows all.
the sub-channels are all subagents. they can read/write but to execute it needs to escalate up to prime agent
you get a pop-up (terminal style) to execute
for home use, the model taps local models and storage
for other users, it's bring your own keys, bring your own storage
it never touches your data
i've only got one friend using it thus far to help me test and troubleshoot.
but there ya go... that's what i've been working on for a while...
i'm not a technical person.
just an artist who wants to tap the tool for what it's worth...

getting rid of apps was pretty simple too.

2026-02-23 14:05:23 UTC

- reply

just my take...
nostr is kind of like bitcoin. many don't want to hear it. they just want the thing to work. nostr has a bit of a branding issue.
maybe... when people make apps or platforms, instead of including some kind of reference to nostr (or even bitcoin), the branding states what the thing does and have nostr in the background.
another one is the npub/nsec ordeal. it's no different than username/password setup, but the branding of those two is also another turn off for most general users.
just some observations from trying to onboard.

Yes, actual performance. Load times, tx sends, transition between options. I'm not technical enough to comment on those details of why, just my ux from using other wallets.
I was testing sends from blitz to various other ln wallets, and it just performed a lot slower. Maybe its routing, maybe its something else.
An example: went to steak n shake. at POS. need to pay quick, fast and in a hurry due to the building line. it took a moment for the wallet to load, so I opted to another one to handle.
Note, these aren't "deal breakers", but when I need something functional it does weigh on choices.
Again, I think the overall wallet looks really slick. I find it very aesthetically pleasing.

UI:
slick, sharp and simple to navigate somewhat. I do think there's good art direction with the overall design. but could be more stripped down.
UX:
might be my expectations, but with such a sleek interface, you'd think the app would move faster. i'm not a tech aficionados, and even though i read the doc on Spark, I don't understand it enough to fully embrace it. what are tokens? why do I need them? feels unnecessary. like bloatware.
the gifts part is confusing too. is that ecash? I don't understand, and makes me hesitant.
the shops section, while potentially useful, feels like more bloat. for me, I want a wallet to just be a wallet. not an everything app.
the USD token part... I feel is asking for trouble down the regulation line. would rather it just be bitcoin only.
there's a lot of potential, but just my personal preference is a more simplified wallet. my everyday driver is ashigaru and blixt. just button down bitcoin wallets. cashu.me was an interesting and simple web wallet, but not understanding proofs and mints well enough keeps me at arms length.
hope that makes sense/is helpful.
