Yes, content that's exclusively on Nostr, if you want to attract people.

2026-02-02 19:35:34 UTC

Oh, a few wannabe Nostr thinkers are starting to worry more again about why we are not getting any of that exodus from the big social media platforms. And they think it is because of some hexadecimal IDs or other stuff that does not look exactly like those familiar big platforms. And solutions are being thrown around that all point toward centralization. So for these people, Nostr should basically be represented by just one client. And be as easy to use as the big platforms.
I think they have not understood Nostr at all and they cave in too easily and actually turn back to centralized structures, even if they are supposed to be simulated on a decentralized protocol. We like to talk about a free markets here, but we want the quickest possible consolidation around a quasi platform, a quasi client for all. End the Nostr client development, let us finally do some marketing, they say.
Nothing will come of that. Sacrificing Nostr's strengths just to go back to old centralized structures.
By the way, we already have two examples in internet history, actually three, that show us when a platform built momentum:
1. One chose the private, college approach (Meta)
2. Another drew attention with content that had never been seen on the internet before (Weblogs)
3. And the other introduced citizen journalism and reported for the first time on things that were real but not yet in any newspaper (Twitter). Even if that trend is reversing now.
It was always just about content. Content is king. Still is. None of them had to do excessive marketing, the users came on their own. What are Nostr's unique contents? We haven't created anything unique here that would attract anyone (I include myself in that), except complaining, self praise, and a general relieved "phew, finally free to post what I want". We are still too conditioned by the big platforms and just don't want to be censored with our mostly toxic content. But what is new and productive with us?
Our developers are the most. Except they are still a bit too detached from the mainstream. But the potential is there. AI shows good approaches, Bitchat shows a big niche market. But our real strength has not become visible yet: crisis resilience.
Because we don't have the big crisis yet where Nostr would really flourish. If all fiat ways were closed and no influencer could earn anything anymore, if all big platforms were ruined by over-moderation from algorithms, if all creativity and expression were suppressed, then Nostr would really bloom. We are already on the way, but not quite there yet. But when we get there, when Nostr becomes the only refuge island, we better should have built suitable decentralized structures that affect local life. Then we will not need marketing either, then the masses would come on their own.
We need to keep evolving toward a more human network. Real communities form through free exchange of goods and services for hard money. Not through "hodlers" who stubbornly cling to their coins and wait for the right moment to trade them back for fiat and buy a yacht.
Check out how many Africans and Asians are doing it. They are already benefiting from Bitcoin, from its features of unrestricted commerce free from institutional players. Western hodlers, who treat it like a long term investment and then maybe die or lose access to their coins (oops) before they could do anything with them, don't create such markets and communities.

#NoorNote is full of new stuff, both small and big. Here's a feature that's often overlooked: Mutual Loyalty Check.
Haha, okay, I just made up that name right now. But there's something like that in NoorNote.
As you might have seen in the follow list, for every follow, NoorNote shows the mutual status below it in green. The link "Check for changes" refers exactly to that, to the mutual state.
https://image.nostr.build/2df55b0dcf71634596bc00da0081d85c6863c34a663e6b0eee8b63c8e0d1cec7.png
The first time, it can't check anything because it needs an initial snapshot to compare against in the future. So go to follows list and click on the link. It takes a while (depending on how many people you follow) until eventually you get the message "Initial Snapshot saved. Changes will be detected on next check."
https://image.nostr.build/f3b3c3c5c4862681f07ad9c9f09346cada03bca34d753638f289f0ce66ee9dd1.png
If you do this check again a few days later, now it has a snapshot to compare against.
https://image.nostr.build/45254c3c78307305881e0350d296b7f33135dcf7a7303911d305532fb30730be.png
And if there are changes in the mutual status, they'll be displayed. All the new mutuals and those that used to be but aren't anymore. If you just press "Close," the same changes, plus any new ones, will show up again. If you press "Mark as seen," they won't be considered in the next check.
https://image.nostr.build/70b1976b94bc0c4ce67f592651540c506bc66ec1f76c39bb561ea5e2a806ecab.png
https://image.nostr.build/bde207e06931b069918f23005ee64043dfea25a179f801e8b5af6b07d8b3ecb6.png
Anyway, you can safely close that modal because these changes also end up in your notifications.
https://image.nostr.build/b65033c820414e9455aefc22bbb2bbc0819762f7aec95b5d01d9899047e607ce.png
There, you can check each user again to see if it's really true. Sometimes there are small errors, so it's worth it to also open the user's profile beforehand. The info in the profile is more reliable.
https://image.nostr.build/aee687e476f6d41e2713d8297045ea23ec63b725ebfd87b50165947c7c2a00cf.png
Well, once you have this loyalty info and you've confirmed it, do whatever you want with it.

Yeah, exactly. I'm missing that too. I've temporarily set it up in NoorNote so you can create lists of web bookmarks, like NIP 51, and then attach them to your profile, for example a portfolio, but it's not ideal yet.
But I could expand on that, so you can enter your resume with from and to dates and attach that to your own profile too. But that would just be a client side feature.

No, the best meat processing and dishes => Turkey.
The best and most cheese varieties => Turkey (not France or Switzerland).
It might be that some people find plastic cheese full of microplastics tasty, but Turks even make the best cheeseburgers. That's no big deal for the Turks. If you only knew what else they can do with meat.

Rizful. Not one issue in 7 months

2026-01-31 08:51:26 UTC

Here's a quick rundown of the onboarding process in the new NoorNote 0.4.0 desktop app:
1. New users start off on the welcome screen.
https://image.nostr.build/46d73c176a2e0e3ee18c2b4cb298656294f7bc523c664ad29b6f41dd2ef74f27.jpg
2. A key pair gets generated automatically. But you can regenerate them as many times as you want.
https://image.nostr.build/7575d1c68bdedff689cf1188cd40cd5f74ea560e7c08ad258c51c413f0e44b84.jpg
3. You're prompted to download a backup. But you can also optionally save it somewhere, like in a password manager.
https://image.nostr.build/69a2400dba8a80509689426c99c8ea874f655e37d2d727446319f4be1a79c75c.jpg
https://image.nostr.build/b05f4597746839bf189aa7671e20aa59074d3a045164767f184be06cd1618ba8.jpg
4. It only moves on once you confirm the backup.
https://image.nostr.build/546c23efa5c54c24a6e06326408e5bf8f4dd19504e3f5c847d40edec91787bee.jpg
5. Now you can import this key pair into the local key signer.
https://image.nostr.build/e6fab44cdd3bc270293760280ed592c4c3c64049b3b4151d6e6d658a0d0a8f34.jpg
6. You set your password for the trust session...
https://image.nostr.build/b35eba76bc946b078eb1d89c919dabe8a7139e6d9a9807d2e609acf8624d3e2d.jpg
7. ...then it continues after a success message.
https://image.nostr.build/b6bc0e4dee87dd8196b900e4f37c9fdda737f934e75899d428ec2ba93c79fde6.jpg
8. In the next screen, a few random usernames get generated. But of course, you can set your own.
https://image.nostr.build/1326f9bdee00abbc9a51997aa1a8408b89e871122ee27f160512eb8a9fc976d6.jpg
9. Then you can pick a profile picture or upload one yourself.
https://image.nostr.build/f3352ccd6e6f774356861935d591b25de21aab434f59a25b742c1584f94da3a8.jpg
10. And create a bio.
https://image.nostr.build/e9159f1013b9aae02125eab0decbd15574de986fcd8ec9ece780d118c846d18e.jpg
11. Then the new user gets three random suggestions from the 15 largest relays. You can reroll them and even enter your own. But here's the thing: Even if the user picks some dumb relays, like really obscure ones, it barely affects how NoorNote works. Like when displaying users and notes that aren't on your own relays. That's thanks to the outbound relays principle.
https://image.nostr.build/2b58724ddb2000d60070074e6676637122c5e924090f8a6ffdad3afb2b29f5d7.jpg
12. NIP-17 DMs need your own inbox relays. Hardly any newbie knows that. No big deal, it suggests four suitable ones, and the user should pick two. Over time, I could add more options there too.
https://image.nostr.build/5212f3409816cc8e150f7fbcda1fdd595f9092ccaee4dd47f30caf3c4b018ce9.jpg
13. So the new user's timeline doesn't end up empty, it now suggests some thematically curated follow packs.
https://image.nostr.build/4d6061c237a9feda1a4b15b6f08f9e7fd3546c3cf1c22b62b4c8104541114770.jpg
https://image.nostr.build/fbf9a406a6ce8164906c74b3f00860bcafeabf502a8f2ce87f49e2dbc5880424.jpg
14. Once the user makes their selection, it moves on.
https://image.nostr.build/3362e748be426659131cec0749e588c7a5f9d78d79126aa372dcf7f94b04bade.jpg
15. Now all that's left is a Lightning wallet for zapping and getting zapped. The most common newbie mistake with new accounts is avoiding setting it up. That's understandable, who even helps with that at the start?
https://image.nostr.build/6d09d8d08d0f50824773d80009d559796a9b9ecaebe0abe54945f0dec96a0641.jpg
16. After you sign up at Rizful and click "Open Rizful," you get a one-time code that you copy...
https://image.nostr.build/f9dcfb742a7e3282f787268ac0bd47baef7fda07a2055ddc6d068a5bba7b0092.jpg
17. ...and paste into the wizard. When you hit "Connect" after that, it fetches the NWC string and enters it into NoorNote.
https://image.nostr.build/8793571ebba9e5fe31b4b7bedc3cffdfd05dc0a21f2971e4b6a27d19f9e12adf.jpg
18. Finally, there's a little summary, and with "Save & Go to timeline," everything gets published to the relays, NoorNote loads the timeline as usual, and the user can jump right in.
https://image.nostr.build/7502928df4bab0af8938dfb7fa70b7bbca20a407885e783f8314707a273372ac.jpg
In the web browser, the order in the wizard is a little different. It recommends installing Alby first, simply because it's the only browser extension that stores sensitive data encrypted right in the browser. That cuts down the attack surface from other malicious browser extensions, for example. And the Alby setup starts off with connecting a Lightning wallet anyway. That's why the Rizful step gets moved up, right after guiding the new user through the Alby installation. After that, the wizard steps are just like in the desktop version.

New #NoorNote version. Download at: https://github.com/77elements/noornote/releases/tag/v0.4.0
I've polished up the frontend a bit more, fixed a bunch of bugs (the automatic list synchronization of bookmarks, follows, mutes, tribes now runs reliably) and ...
There's a new onboarding wizard for Nostr beginners!
This wizard doesn't just generate a key pair, it walks you through creating your profile, suggests some of the biggest relays (+ NIP-17 inbox relays!), and gives you the first options for following people through npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg's follow packs ( https://following.space/ ), fully integrated, so your timeline doesn't stay empty. And that's not all, the wizard also guides you through creating a npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq account and integrates your first zap wallet via NWC.
This onboarding holds beginners by the hand and equips them with everything they need for a full Nostr experience!
But that's not all.
NoorNote is a desktop app and NoorSigner ( https://github.com/77elements/noorsigner ) is a seperate desktop key signer that runs in the terminal. Other devs could even use it for their own desktop clients. It gets initialized once at the start in the terminal, and for renewing the trust session, the terminal pops up every 24 hours and asks for the password.
Not anymore.
I've heard newbies don't like the terminal. So NoorSigner now runs completely in silent mode. NoorNote takes over 100% control of NoorSigner. It handles the initialization, asks for the trust session password every 24 hours ... no terminal in sight anymore. It all happens in the background. NoorNote just passes it along to NoorSigner.
If you don't like that, you can switch off NoorSigner's silent mode in the settings, and then NoorSigner will pop up in its own terminal again.
But that's still not all.

Tadaaa: https://noornote.app/
The desktop version is still the flagship and the preferred platform (more comfort, more security), but if you really want to, you can now use the web browser version consistently with your signer extension: either locally at 127.0.0.1:3000 or just on https://noornote.app/ .

What is this?

2026-01-28 23:39:39 UTC

What is bad software? Or good software?
Not in terms of quality, but in the moral and ethical sense? Our university professor explained the difference really simply:
Bad software is software that does things the user doesn't want and doesn't do things the user does want. And good software is the opposite of that.
Take a look at today's fiat software. Web and mobile apps that transmit stuff in the background that users have no idea about. Or social media. Let's take Twitter/X as an example.
Back in the day, you could see who liked or reposted a tweet. People used that a lot, and users wanted to see it. New management came in and took that away from users.
=> it no longer does what users want.
Instead, it does secret things under the hood that, if users knew about them, they wouldn't be okay with.
=> it does things users don't want.
Our current software crisis is all about this exact aspect. Too much bad and evil software, and too little good software.
If you accept this academic definition of good versus bad software, it raises more questions for Muslim developers. Like:
Is the income still halal if it was earned through developing or working on bad software? Would a Muslim even be allowed to participate in that kind of software at all?
These are questions that today's scholars still owe us answers to.

It was possible to explain it like that to people from back then, because they were overall smarter and actually grasped things. Try telling that to the idiots of today, who'd all babble something about ‚chance' and 'macro laws' and 'through their own free will', and not even understand how dumb they are.

If we're being honest, when you have employees to pay, there's really no other way to do it. The open-source ecosystem still doesn't bring in enough. But even so, all the communication, the app's promise, is obviously hypocritical and empty.

Mashallah, brother. It’s a life-long journey, a Muslim is always learning. You should listen to the Qur’an tafsirs of Nouman Ali Khan (on YT for example), he explains every ayah according to its context and is easy to understand. And start learning the basic rulings (fiqh) like how to take ablution, how to pray and as Ramadan is near, how to fast, about our financial matters etc. If you have a mosque near you, start visiting it, especially on Friday’s.

Wait a little. #NoorNote is getting a killer update right now with the best Nostr onboarding every seen. Zap Wallet included. Nostr intro included.

2026-01-27 17:18:11 UTC

By the way, #NoorNote isn't dead. I'm working flat out on a few new features. Refactoring, fixing small bugs, stabilizing, and really polishing the design. Maybe I'll put out an interim release in the meantime. Or maybe I'll wait a bit longer and do a big release a little later.

NIP-04: encrypts the message content but leaks metadata: anyone can see who is messaging whom, when, and how often, since sender/receiver pubkeys and timestamps are visible on relays.
NIP-17: fixes this by wrapping the encrypted message inside a gift-wrap (NIP-59): the outer event uses a random throwaway key, a randomized timestamp, and is sealed so relays and observers cannot see the real sender, receiver, or timing. The actual message is only visible to the intended recipient after unwrapping two layers of encryption.
In short: NIP-04 = encrypted content, public metadata. NIP-17 = encrypted content + protected metadata.

Hmm, for me it's even better in some ways than Google Maps. For example, it has way more parking spots and parking garages marked, and since it's based on OpenStreetMap, lots of users have added even more info there, down to details like where there are public cherry trees that you can just pick from. When it comes to extra info on places, I'd say it's even better equipped. And I don't exactly live in a small town.
Just the UX takes a little getting used to at first, but you figure it out.

I always laugh at those fitness influencers who say, get enough sleep, like sleep 8 hours straight every night. That's not a healthy kind of sleep. People used to sleep for a few hours at night, then get up (ideally do tahajjud), then power nap a bit, then wake up again. A little nap at midday. Basically the sunnah of Rasulallah, ﷺ. And not always in a fluffy bed, that's also one of those modern bad habits. But the way we wage slaves (have to) sleep today just comes from the unhealthy fiat economy.

Three year npub anniversary! 🎉
Exactly 3 Gregorian years ago today, I created this npub, and I have been active with it ever since.
Before that, sometime around late November or early December 2022, I made my first npub using some weird, ugly Nostr client and played around with it a bit. But sadly, I lost the nsec from back then. It was only two months later that I created a new one, which is this one.

Nostr is a good environment for you.
First, it influences you to use Bitcoin as currency,
then it encourages you to provide real value to the community,
then it motivates you to boost your personal OpSec (VPNs, Linux, GrapheneOS etc.),
since you've already cleared the tough hurdle with key pairs, NWC strings, and relays, it'll also make you even more tech-savvy over time,
it might even plant an idea in your head to grow or raise your own food, at least part of it.
In short: It's good for you to be here. Nostr makes you freer and more productive.
