It feels cleaner, calmer, and a lot nicer to use now. still plenty to tweak, but I'm really happy with where it’s headed. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep spent half a week to polish #plaza's design. from this, to this. whatcha think? npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep thanks for asking! lots of progress so far! here is just one of them: npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep good morning sir ☀☕ npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm nostr ☀ conversations work in #plaza now. tap a note, read the thread, reply from a pinned composer. the reply is a proper NIP-10 kind:1 that landed on damus with the root marker where it belongs. watched the reply count tick from 1 to 2 and felt things. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep expensive & exciting 😎 npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep tomorrow will be a better day. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm nostr. so I built one signer engine and gave it two homes. it comes baked into #plaza, nothing to set up, and it runs on its own as #signet for the rest of your nostr apps. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep you should never paste your secret key into a desktop client. #plaza lets you bring your key in with one terminal command. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep I'm making #plaza. a fast, native desktop client written in Zig that renders every pixel itself (no browser, no Electron, no JS), so it opens instantly and scrolls a local-first feed smoothly. your secret key never touches the client, signing runs in a bundled, isolated #signet signer. you can start browsing guest-first immediately, before ever creating or importing an identity. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep #plaza is getting a built-in signer, #signet. anything that touches your key happens in signet's own process, never in the client. when you import a key you already have, the client never sees it. it goes straight into the signer. that's finally true, not just a slogan. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep thanks! great to be back. excited to keep building. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm nostr. small win today: proved #plaza can pop open a separate signer window on its own. sounds boring, but it's what lets your key stay in its own process. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep not via negativa in terms of features 🙂 this is just the first working version, built today and there’s a lot more planned. the point is to avoid unnecessary computation, not unnecessary product. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep building a client that feels instant is mostly about not doing work. not re-reading what has not changed. not building what is off screen. not fetching what is already on disk. most of my performance work is deleting things. #plaza npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep @npub1q3s…d26p Alex, is that you? 😁😁 npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep numbers from #plaza's feed while scrolling hard: about a twentieth of a millisecond to work out what to draw. the frame budget is 8 milliseconds. there is a lot of room in there. here's the first demo ever: npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep #plaza is the flag-ship nostr client in zig-nostr ecosystem: npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep #plaza is a nostr client written in Zig that draws its own pixels. no browser inside it, no web view, no javascript. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep opened #plaza and your notes are just there, instantly. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep #plaza scrolls the same whether your feed holds 20 notes or 2000. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep check openrouter.ai, it has comparison, APIs, etc. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep out of the universe. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep legend @nprofile…gthc npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep jumble.social is in a league of its own. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep interesting! just ping me if you need help for software layer. we can prototype "Signet Box" with some changes in the existing Signet because: npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep builders gonna build, haters gonna hate. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep back building on nostr after a long quiet stretch. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep Signet design choice i'll defend: two processes. a headless daemon owns the key and the relay connections. the gui is just an approval queue over a loopback-only api. if the pretty half ever gets compromised, the half with the key does not care. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep made a thing: Signet - a native remote signer for nostr. your key lives encrypted (NIP-49) inside a small daemon on your machine. apps request signatures over NIP-46, and every single request waits for an explicit approve/deny in a native macOS app. the key never enters the GUI, let alone a client. works over public relays, including ones behind NIP-42 auth. https://github.com/zig-nostr/signet npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep https://zignostr.com npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep https://github.com/zig-nostr/nostr npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep benchmarked my zig-nostr store against nostrdb and rust-nostr and found my feed query ~90x slower than it should be. i collected every match, then sorted, then truncated. nostrdb walks its indexes newest-first and stops at the limit. adopted the approach, credited the teacher: 26ms → 0.28ms for a 20-author feed over 100k events. #devstr #zignostr npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm. favorite part of the zig-nostr library so far: a local-first event store on LMDB. zero-copy reads, events stay memory-mapped, modeled openly on nostrdb. the goal is feeds that render from disk in a blink while the network reconciles in the background. never the other way around. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep so, the thing i've been heads-down on: a nostr library for zig. keys, NIP-19 encoding, events, BIP-340 signing, relay transport, and the whole base layer. mostly because i wanted it to exist and as far as i can tell nobody had built one. pre-alpha and moving fast. check this out: https://github.com/zig-nostr/nostr npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep lol npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep newbie here. i enjoy it. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep been writing a lot of zig these days. it stays out of your way the way C does, but the build system is a real language you can think in. comptime still bends my brain a little. i like it. npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm Seth npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep GM ☕️☀️ npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep good morning npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep gm ☕️ npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep goooood morniiiiing npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep 😍😍😍 npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep GN 🌌 npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep brewing npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep crafting npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep baking npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep cooking npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep 👀 npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 Sep thank you!
