2026-05-06T18:18:48+02:00

A diversity of implementations solves Hyrum's law, in which implementation details are transformed implicitly into interface guarantees. Nostr has some gross conventions (like error: prefixes on OK messages), but the compensation is that every implementation chooses different wording, and so clients have to be pretty ambivalent about relying on how messages are parsed. This reduces reliability, but improves compatibility.

Sorry for the slow reply, I had surgery yesterday 😅 From your previous note it sounds like welshman isn't authenticating, you'll want to run:

```
import {defaultSocketPolicies} from '@welshman/net'

defaultSocketPolicies.push(makeSocketPolicyAuth({sign: event => signer.sign(event), shouldAuth: socket => true})
```

If that doesn't work, maybe send the message log from the devtools.

Good questions to which I don't have the answers. The simplest thing would be to use a separate relay, since zooid enforces relay membership. If you used it for signing it could create chicken/egg scenarios where you couldn't sign AUTH events to prove you are a member of tge relay.

In reply to nevent1q…mqqt
_________________________

The reason it works with card numbers is that they're just opaque identifiers interpreted by a machine. Private keys have to be held to be used, and aren't passed around directly and so can't be linked by the non-existent server. By definition something that can directly create valid signatures on behalf of another key is that key. Keys are cool and weird.

Got it, sounds like everything is working as designed but there are some documentation gaps.

First of all, the url to make requests against is the one in the config file, not the one printed when zooid starts up. That's where it's listening, but you have to proxy other ports (or hostnames) to zooid in order for it to serve those. This is probably why your nginx setup helped.

If you want to run without a reverse proxy, then the `host` in your config file should match the host/port that zoooid is running on. So, by default it's `localhost:3334` - you need to include that exact value in your config:

```
host = "localhost:3334"
```

You should then be able to make requests against zooid using nak:

```
nak req -k 1 --auth localhost:3334
connecting to localhost:3334... ok.
authenticating to ws://localhost:3334 as npub10x…kge6d...
ws://localhost:3334 CLOSED: restricted: you are not a member of this relay
```
`nak event` and `nak relay` should work in this setup too. Docker is fine, podman and docker have the same API. Caravel is still a work in progress, hopefully we'll have it up next week, and then it will include a dockerfile (and built image).

Let me know if this clears things up for you!

Doing it well takes an incredible amount of discipline. Writing code is easy because it keeps your mental model in sync with the product. Agentic coding is hard because you have to deliberately slow down to maintain your mental model, when the entire reason you're using the tool is to speed up. I haven't been able to strike that balance myself yet.

2026-04-17T17:15:23+02:00

Flotilla 1.7.3 (and 1.7.4) is out — this one is mostly quality of life improvements (with the addition of polls).

The big change protocol-wise is the addition of kind-9 wrapping of non-chat content types per a discussion with VitorPamplona (nprofile…t65r) and verbiricha (nprofile…7tvu). This prevents missing context when sending non-chat messages to NIP 29 rooms, but also allows for adding stuff like polls etc to chat. You can read the NIPs PR here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2310

Much of the work was done by contributors coming to nostr via the Summer of Bitcoin program. So thanks to all of you!

https://www.summerofbitcoin.org/

Full Changelog:

* Add native share support for space invites
* Stop sending duplicate requests per room
* Add more robust thumbnail url generation
* Make space reordering discoverable with smoother drag animation
* Improve relay member list
* Add room mentions and clickable room/relay refs
* Support native clipboard image paste on mobile
* publish kind 9 quote after room content creation for cross-client interoperability
* Improve feed pagination logic and performance
* Support Aegis URL scheme for NIP-46 login
* Various UI and bug fixes
* Raise message size limit in chat
* Fix realtime updates for room members and admins
* Add video to calls
* Remove follow graph building
* Add start chat FAB
* Add drafts
* Redesign toast notifications
* Remove room/space leave indications
* Hide report badge for non-admin users
* Add polls
* Add search to recent activity page
* Fix notification badge on mobile nav
* Change audio devices in call

I can't remember why it was bad. I think part of it had to do with the fact that nostr.build optimizes images itself and he wanted clients to use those directly so that they didn't have to serve the full sized file over and over. But caching on the proxy's side should improve that, and clients don't know to download the smaller files anyway.
