Last Notes
My favorite sport now is unironically women's tennis. I've only been watching for a few months. This past week has got to be as good as it gets, though, right?

# Full Changelog
### Protocol
- NIP-25 k/a tags with relay hints on reactions
### Branding / Copy
- New logo / favicon - thumbtack is more like a tophat
### UI
- Rapid 'Follow' click protection
- Unresolved usernames show 'Goofy Gopher' convention instead of npub
- Autosave permissions prompt immediately on login
### Backup/Restore
- Autosave now pauses during a restore to avoid overwrite mid-stream
### Note Rendering
- Ignores notes dated in the future
- Feedgrid may be more stable / responsive, note loading a bit faster
- Manual retry button and informative message when note content doesn't load
- Youtubes don't embed for privacy reasons. User optionally can have titles fetched through Corkboard's proxy or can choose their own proxy (must test in production)
### Filters/Toggles

### Architecture
- Fix: tor will not silently fallback to clearnet on failure
- Fix: nsec login that fails to encrypt will not fallback to silent plaintext local nsec storage
- Fix: Hostile relay cannot force nip-04 downgrade
- Fix: Blossom fallbacks were first on failure retry, user's relays are now prioritized always, and fallback preference always honored
- Video/audio routed through image proxy
### Zapping
- Verification safety checks and redirect refusal
### Features
- Ability to 'undo' dismissing a saved note
### Untested:
- Android, iphone, macOS, windows desktop
### Known Bugs

I love the updates to the site. Well done!
Noooo I wanted to so bad. It got me through the winter looking forward to it! But same here, I've got a lot of good going on here, but different. I just hope next summer is a traveling year 😎 Great work BTW, on Sidecar and on Zap.Cooking, and all the things~

gratefulday.space is a great nostr app for making gratitude a habit.
Great suggestion. Always approximate. Thank you.

Finalizing major update to corkboards, then testing on stage. Continuing theme of heavily prioritizing increased stability of existing features over adding new ones.
1) Stable with minimal bugs
2) Fable audits
3) UI, get.corkboards.me, and explanatory copy updates/revisions
4) Linux desktop version testing
5) Android testing
6) Scope clarity
7) Market knowledge gap remedy: Summaries, concise explanations, talking points, visuals, videos prep
8) Tailored nip supports / integrations toward project goals
9) Create store / portfolio Corkboards for specific ambassador nostr-only creator projects
10) Corkboards project collaboration infrastructure (buzz/ngit/concork) & invites
11) Security hardening, protocol compliance, cypherpunk alignment
12) Features
13) Infrastructure
14) Revenue model / protocolized contributor sharing
15) Purchase (family friendly) tropical island citadel
16) Achieve immortality
Not sure what to do after that though

"This might be useful for something someday but I don't know what" fallacy
Meant to reply to Sync
Am I in the right thread? 😅

Correct and that's okay. Less than five percent of artists are truly original, and most of those, most people don't like particularly much (zappa, devo, dylan). There is a cynical portion of the major music industry that simply copy paste changes one track from an existing hit. But more often the actual talent is siphoned from the cheapest end of the pool and made material by a machine aimed at upper middle class teenagers' allowances based on lowest common denominator marketing. Then they use copyright trolling and calcified industry-centric assumptions as propaganda to blame 'musicians' for 'copying' when they sample, cover, or tribute. All of the blues and country, most of hip hop, most of EDM, blues rock and folk rock of the sixties, jazz, they all borrow from who came before - so much so they would not exist of youtube's copyright standards were applied. And there is a limited set of enjoyable scales/chords in existence. That said, I would agree in that too often the musicians and producers of record are not original enough, are to risk averse, or are rationally aware of the unsustainability and lack of reward for original music. And it is too easy to play very simple music of a style and appear as idol to unsophisticated masses (bluegrass, rap, death metal, punk, electronic). Even then, even though it only becomes harder to be truly original over time, there is truly great music in all of those categories. I lament to an extent the predictable rise and fall of fads, and the relatively unmeritoctatic industry. There's plenty of talent and originality out there among creators, but it is the one percent of consumers who seek it out, and therefore typically a hobby without years of careful market cultivation. And the truth is that the masses buy covers and retreads! The masses appreciate understandable rhythym and melody and starpower far more than originality. And, when someone has it all, half the masses hate them (beatles, elvis, tswift). But I am careful not to point ire at the creators - they rarely are the source of the plagiaristic conduct, and when they are, they will only be the popular targets for criticism if they also cross the industry powers. Thanks for the space to rant lol, it's not really at you Karnage, I bet we agree on almost all of this. I do agree music and musicians and particular studios get stuck. The west is stuck in multiple ways, including the guitar/bass/drums paradigm.
Thanks for this idea, working on this for Corkboards. me

I think this is true in some cases but personality dependent. For some, financial desperation brings despondence, while abundance brings hope and motivation through new possibility. For others, abundance encourages sloth while financial desperation triggers survival instincts and motivation to employ individual agency.

This is for people who will only eat salad if they can drench it with multiple kinds of salad dressing.
I have a feeling this is just a random 15 seconds of drive time in the noshole family.

I would be guessing 😁 I looked it up, no spoilers LOL. Hint: typographers dropped it because of potential confusion.

Wowo... do you do some kind of wild jungly dance before you go hunting in the back yard to find these things? The most exciting thing I've seen in the back yard lately is a cardboard box.
