Last Notes
Flotilla 1.13.0 is out on zapstore and web — biggest changes are the addition of bookmarks, refinements to the home page's microblogging features (good enough now for me to quit using coracle).
Full list:
* Add bookmarks, with folders and a bookmark manager
* Redesign the chat and room composers
* Support paid spaces, with checkout and relay notifications
* Mute people from their profile menu
* Choose what the home network feed and notifications tab include, and merge notifications about the same note
* Show replies in the network feed under the note they answer
* Rework the home inbox to include space activity, and add a relay settings button to the network section
* Spotlight screen shares in calls
* Reorder lists by dragging on touch screens
* Keep a space's content across a reload, and keep working when local storage fails
* Show room references as links, every name in a reaction tooltip, and open a DM's message menu by clicking it
* Cap comment indentation on narrow screens
How did I now know about What We Do In the Shadows? Just watched the movie, so funny.
A few relays I run that my fellow nostr developers might find useful:
- wss://messaging.coracle.social — auth and pow protected NIP 17 relay
- wss://indexer.coracle.social — a strfry relay that stores only kind 10002 and 10009. It replicates other indexer relays on the network.
- wss://bucket.coracle.social — you can put anything here, but it gets deleted after 30 seconds. Good for testing and nip 46 signers.
Just uninstalled coracle. Flotilla has feature parity for my purposes. Feels good.
Just published pi-nostr, a series of packages that glue pi to nostr.
https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/pi-nostr
Running an agent that speaks nostr (nip 17, 29, and kind 1) is now a single command:
`npx @pi-nostr/cli`
The above command uses pi-durable as a framework, which is moderately useful. I'm working on a much more complete nostr-native harness.
You can also install the same nostr abilities that power the above agent command to your local instance of pi:
```pi install npm:@pi-nostr/pi-nip17```
```pi install npm:@pi-nostr/pi-nip29```
```pi install npm:@pi-nostr/pi-notes```
Here's a quick demo video to show just how easy this is:

New version of Coracle is out: 0.6.38
* Upgrade to welshman 0.12
* Fix retrying a failed direct message on the publishes page
* Retry decrypting direct messages instead of dropping them
* Back off when reconnecting to unreachable relays
* Upgrade insecure requests to https
It occurred to me recently that ideas are like technology. They are both ways to scale influence in a way that escapes their creator/designer, modified by their users, and create an ecology of unintended consequences that obscures their own influence.
@nprofile…xlpv I've begun vibing a game for my kids. It's a low-poly racing/combat game. Fun to be able to produce something so cool for them.
I am looking forward to it!
Haven't had a chance to crack it open yet, but I have high expectations
New Coracle release: 0.6.37 with some bugfixes, maintenance, and special requests.
* Support encrypted files in direct messages
* Add a setting for turning off link previews
* Add social preview tags for shared coracle.social links
* Rebuild the app on welshman 0.10
* Cache events separately for each logged-in account
* Remove relay reviews
* Fix comment tags
* Fix errors when signed out
* Reduce bandwidth and speed up page loads
Ok guys, help a dev out. I'm an awful marketer — hopefully I'll get some real help on this soon, but in the meantime, what are the highest leverage suggestions you have to catch the Discord wave that I can execute on right now?
Flotilla is like 90% stable, which needs to improve, but it's enough to start catching early adopters. I can't really market myself as having feature parity with Discord (RBAC and voice chat are required), and Flotilla's trajectory is slightly different than just a Discord clone.
But with Discord's market share and the level of annoyance people are showing with it, I figure if I can catch just a fraction of a percent of the outflow it'll be a pretty large number.
