Ditto is 5 months old, Armada is about 1 month old, and everything beyond is within the umbrella of a year or so.
I'm very happy with the things that our team has put out into the world during this time. Fortune has favored me heavily to work with such talented and motivated people.
Now, let's continue to seize this moment. Onward, friends. :trillian-party-hat:

Server powercycled, one moment. A good note to make this an offline webapp a la Shakespeare though.

If I recall from when we investigated prior, it's because the site is publishing shop listings as "long-form content" (kind 30023) in an unorthodox format.
The easiest fix would be updating the site to instead publish shop listings as NIP-99 marketplace events, which seems to be closer to what they are anyway - https://nostrhub.io/nip/99
I think this is something that could be quickly prompted and tested using current models and Shakespeare, but let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully that helps!

In a sense! This would be like having a group chat with multiple Shakespeares available to you and your colleagues to collaborate on projects. The other key difference is this is using nostr-based git to host code instead of GitHub.
This workflow is similar to what we've already been doing with AI agents on our team, and is especially similar to how we've been using them in our in-development chat client, Armada.

(Pardon the redraft.)
I'd second this sentiment. All I require is a CI that produces artifacts on a predictable trigger (push or tag), and ngit-ci has provided exactly that for me.
It's not too much more complex or difficult compared to other CI configurations I've had to work with in the past. If you're curious, you can read more about it here (kudos to @npub15qy…yejr for his work on this!):

Based on this event, it is likely that this note either explicitly or implicitly tagged your public key (npub1lgrh3swvh0p0tck7l6ryks9h52pycxupy3jwxachmxc8kywh68hshv57k2 // fa0778c1ccbbc2f5e2defe864b40b7a2824c1b812464e37717d9b07b11d7d1ef).
If the event has a "p" tag that references your key, then it is possible for it to pop up in your notifications even if the content of the event doesn't explicitly mention you.
If you're curious, you can click the "..." menu on this event, and click "View Event JSON" to see the full data of it - including that elusive "p" tag.
That being said, if you want to filter out this type of noise, you can set your notifications to only trigger via people you follow here - https://ditto.pub/settings/notifications
