I chose design thinking for my project because I want to build very human-centred tools, and I want this principle reflected at every step.
Design thinking seems like a great fit for this goal.
Does anyone have experience using this process in an indie dev context?

There is something fascinating about a slightly out-of-tune piano. It sounds mysterious and beautiful at the same time.

2026-08-21 01:59:19 UTC

Update: I started collecting stories related to my project's theme (capturing references + brainstorming).
I wrote 10 highly specific stories from my own life, and then collected another 21 adjacent stories from the internet to start. I will begin looking for patterns.

Congratulations Terry!!

2026-08-19 03:14:01 UTC

For my next project, I will build in public for the first time. Hopefully we can learn together!
For this project, I decided not to start with an idea, but rather a theme, and then I will try to apply the Design Thinking method.
I will post updates here as I go!

This paper is a bit old but really interesting. It deconstructs what it means to prototype and reframes it completely, going beyond the linear “low/mid/high fidelity” progression. Even a simple box can be a prototype in the right context!

Here is a project that might help: https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef
This allows you to use Docker’s layer caching to keep a cache of built crate dependencies, and thus significantly speed up subsequent docker builds.

Hi @npub1p3z…tqmk, there is a beta TestFlight version that includes a new option to help with this:

If you have a chance, can you please try the following:
1. Update the app to 1.17 (1328) if not already on that version
2. Go to Side menu > Settings > Privacy, and turn on the "Enable Error & Diagnostics Reporting" option
3. Go to Side menu > Settings > Storage, and click on the "Compact Database" button
4. Fully quit the app (Go to app switcher and swipe Damus up so that it disappears)
5. Start the app again, and give it maybe two/three minutes to do its compaction process
6. (Feel free to turn off the error & diagnostics reporting later if you prefer)
This might help us get some technical info on the issue. Thanks!

It seems like we still add our own pubkey in `HomeModel.get_friends()` which gets used to build the filter, but I wonder if we might be seeing “clipped” results caused by some kind of limit related to filter size, the volume of notes being returned, or somewhere else along the way.
Is the app consistently not showing your own posts, or is it intermittent?

Thank you for bringing this up with us. I did some preliminary investigation around the reasoning applied to the 10 transaction limit. It's not very clear yet if can simply increase the number or if we need to implement extra mechanisms around this, so I created a ticket for our team to further investigate this: https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/3213
We are unfortunately a bit backlogged at the moment, so it might be a little while until we get to the bottom of this.

Thank you @npub1zaf…26k5 for filing a ticket! I have moved the priority to high so that we can take a look at this soon. In the meantime, I believe the only workaround would be to use a different NWC wallet with Damus until we get this resolved.
Does anyone know any guides out there on how to create a Yakihonne NWC wallet for testing? When I go to the “Add wallet” page and click the “Add wallet” button in Yakihonne, it takes me to a blank page.

I will try to experiment with it as a replacement for the traditional timeline, and see if I can discover any tips/tricks. It might be that the tooling is limited to regular Nostr filter parameters (e.g. date, keywords on the note, author pubkey), but I need to use it more to find out!

I tried leptos for a bit a few months ago, but I ran into some internal bug on the framework on an example code provided by them, which caused me to get stuck pretty early on. (I haven't tried it since, it is possible that they have improved since then). I haven't looked into sycamore, it looks interesting. I don't know if they have cross-platform support beyond web applications (which is something that interests me in Dioxus). Between the two I have tried (Leptos and Dioxus), Dioxus felt more stable/polished.
Have you tried those? What are your thoughts on the different Rust UI frameworks?

2025-06-28 00:14:47 UTC

True, it might be a bit too minimal. It would be nice to have some way to generate summaries, like a "weekly digest" of interesting content from my follow list. I imagine dave (AI) could maybe help with that? @npub1xts…kk5s, is there a way I can prompt dave to generate weekly summaries of my follows?

2025-06-28 00:02:24 UTC

lol, it's not forever though, just when I need extra focus! I should have a second one for consuming some content, like on weekends or specific moments. It'd be nice to get AI to generate summaries of the week!

I have been experimenting with digital minimalism and trying out a "low-information diet", and I think I just found a great way for Notedeck to help me with that: A minimal deck with only two features: My notification inbox (so I can reply to important messages), and a way to make new posts. Excited to try out this "zen deck" for a few days! https://image.nostr.build/4f32331bbc771b093bb60f1e678552b38171c5da04e214b24f00ec083e9c99f6.png

2025-06-27 15:22:20 UTC

From the standpoint of the developer using Dioxus, you don't ever need to write any Javascript. You only need to write Rust code with rsx macros for the view layouts, similar to React or Swift UI.
However, if your question is about the internals of the Dioxus framework, and whether it directly interacts with the DOM without any Javascript, then I am not really sure. I imagine they use either no javascript at all, or a thin layer of javascript to serve as a bridge between WASM code and the browser DOM API.

To wasm 🙌
You can usually get very light web app bundles, sometimes weighing less than 50kb

2025-06-26 23:54:15 UTC

I got tired of dealing with Javascript nonsense when creating web apps, so I've been experimenting with Dioxus (https://dioxuslabs.com), which has been a very enjoyable experience so far! If you like Rust and React, I highly recommend trying it out!
I ended up creating a UI library inspired on shadcn for myself, but decided to turn into an open source library: https://lumenblocks.dev
I hope this is helpful to any other Rust devs out there!
The project is still experimental, so I'd really appreciate your thoughts or feedback if you check it out!

@npub1az9…m8y8, as someone who has built self-sustaining businesses around Bitcoin, what would you recommend new or aspiring entrepreneurs who want to build independent self-sustainable, durable businesses and high-quality products around Freedom Tech?
Most learning resources out there for entrepreneurs are aimed at more traditional or VC-funded businesses, which has some differences.
I know there is funding available for builders via OpenSats (and others), but are there mentorships or learning resources focused on building businesses on Nostr or Freedom tech in general?
Thanks in advance!

@npub1yau…vjmf this has migrated over to NIP-65, (but without full outbox support). Some relevant new files of this migration would be `UserRelayListManager.swift` and `NIP65.swift`.
We still use the legacy format as a fallback, but give preference to NIP-65 lists.

2025-06-05 01:54:06 UTC

- reply

This version supports NIP-65 lists, but has a fallback to kind:3 if it cannot find a NIP-65 list.
What makes you say it gets the list from the kind:3? What symptoms are you experiencing? It's possible you are running into some kind of edge case.

2025-06-02 17:35:32 UTC

- reply

This issue is due to some gaps in the NIP-47 spec that make it unclear how implementers should communicate sender/receiver information.
We have an open issue on the NIPs repo about this, with useful context and information: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/1843
Currently Damus is using the description field (following NIP-57 conventions) and/or the metadata field (following AlbyHub’s conventions) to communicate sender/receiver information.

I agree with your take, the git issue kind currently feels narrowly scoped. I would prefer to use something more generic such as "tasks" (using a very a broad meaning), and then specialize using tags or references

2025-05-09 02:04:55 UTC

- reply

I introduced the idea of tasks mostly as a generic thing, for task-tracking applications that are not git-specific.
However, I also imagined that there are people using NIP-34 issues already, and that they might want to track them in a workflow. So in the "XXD" draft, I introduce workflows that can track any nostr kind, including git issues and more generic tasks. The intent was to keep compatibility with NIP-34, but also provide a more generic task type for non-git applications.

@npub12gy…3jj5 I can confirm this is also the case of v1.13.1, so it doesn’t seem to be a regression in 1.14 per say — maybe it is more noticeable because of the overlay message.
Do you know of any specific versions when this behaviour was different?
Also, @npub1xts…kk5s what would be the expected behaviour? I think we should have a setting for it, I can see different people wanting different behaviours.

I put together an experimental relay for selective file sharing over #blossom and #nostr that allows users to upload files and selectively share them with other users, with the following features:
🚦 Uploaded files are not publicly accessible by default
🔓 Files become available only to nostr users selected by the uploader
I created this to help me experiment with the concept of collective backups and social recovery of files/photos, but thought it could be useful to other builders on the space, so I am publishing it!
Here is where you can find it (still highly experimental 🧪):

I think we have a function for that in the codebase itself. It might be called "find_events" or something similar, and I believe it's defined on ContentView.swift. If you search the codebase for "find_event" you will probably find it!
