As #PHP developers we're used to hear that PHP sucks. Or it's just dead.
But we now better. We know it doesn't suck anymore. But do we know why? When talking to other developers, it is something handy to send them some resources to tell them why 🤓 What are your favorite resources?
Why PHP?

- Don't count on the organisation they will take care of everything as we ended up with just a place with a table in the corner in the expo halls
- So many people who don't know Nostr assume you're a company
- Many people assumed Nostr is an NFT
- Many people assumed Nostr uses some blockchain technology
- Search often doesn't work in clients we used to explain / onboard people
- Using a NFC card with your npub is really use to share it with someone else and start following (thx Peter and Constant showing this)
- At average it takes around 10-20 minutes to talk with just someone explaining all different Nostr stuff
- Many people already understand why we need Nostr and their questions were in general about how to do certain stuff as they already have a Nostr keypair
- Explaining my own why Nostr seems to resonate. I explain why Nostr is good for my digital wellbeing.
- It's one of the best ways to meet new people.
- The livestream just worked, the confererence wifi connection was really good!
- When explaining Nostr, you often just see the click in someones mind when they just see how different the protocol works compared to the legacy web and all the platforms we're using
- People like stickers, almost our whole stack is gone now
- People really like @Bitpopart his art and style
- We need informational flyers which people can take with them to home
- We need rollup banners
- When people see a free power outlet, they will ask you if they can use it to charge their phone
- I need to take notes of people names who I helped onboarding so I can tag them later on. Tagging me was often a challenge when they took the effort to write an introduction note

Release 1.4.0
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/releases/tag/1.4.0
The library now provides separate relay response classes according to NIP-01.
EVENT - sends events requested by the client
OK - indicate an acceptance or denial of an EVENT message
EOSE - end of stored events
CLOSED - subscription is ended on the server side
NOTICE - used to send human-readable messages (like errors) to clients
This replaces the CommandResult class which had the response of a relay. Thanks @npub1ap9…chga for working out the initial codebase https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59
