Currently building Vibium - a new browser automation tool for robots and humans. Open source software, test automation, startups, and any art involving motors and lights are my thing. Started Selenium and Appium projects.

(in vibium's case, the specific kind of tests are end-to-end checks of the user interface in a web browser.) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs any suggestions for better sources of nostr network stats? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs pip install vibium 🥂🎉🎆 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i think the fancy phrase is "credible exit". i feel comfortable trusting a custodian if i know i can revoke that trust when necessary. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs mostly agree. the websockets + signed-json-events are some killer primatives for stufff on my roadmap. it would be extremely nice to keep *this* notes interface above critical mass, though. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i suspect some if it is technical and some of it is social. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs true, but that's also a 6-month trend line. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs is nostr dying? this doesn't seem great: npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs thanks, man! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs more than slightly embarrassing i didn't do that yet! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs yup. vibium v1 ➡️ https://github.com/vibiumdev/vibium npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs npm install vibium npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs npm install vibium npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs waiting for vibium v1 to ship... npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs important vibium news npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs specifically, a nostr-based website uptime monitoring tool. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm! we have a latte do! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i'm jason huggins, it's september 12, 2025, and linkedin has frozen my account for 24 hours for suspected bot activity. this is my story. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs #testr npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs 🤜💥🤛 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i want to make nostr *the* home for talking about vibe coding and vibe check/testing. i have 5k new linkedin followers in the last week because of my new project, #vibium. i've started to tell them to come over and create nostr keys/accounts, and some have started doing that. it could happen. we can make it happen. #YouCanJustDoStuff #NoGates #NoGatekeepers npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs How Vibium Could Become the Selenium for AI Testing with Jason Huggins npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i like big lattes and i cannot lie... npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs my latte art technique is so close, i can taste it npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i made a test site to test testing tools called test track. it now also has a test track. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs techie question: how does it work? is it using lnurl-withdraw? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs for this one: npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs on my someday/maybe list for years was recreating one of my favorite video games from when i was a kid: apache strike. but it always seemed like it'd be too much work. then claude code comes along and boom: a proof-of-concept written on my phone while i'm in bed with a cold. behold: "drone delivery" npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs now serving: burrito 🌯 - a quickjs wrapper for nim* 👑 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs life is... npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs hi, thanks. more info here: http://valetnet.work/ npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs cash.app? 👍 🫡@nprofile…nj96 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs want to live in a bitcoin future? vote with your (bitcoin) wallet. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs collab would be great. sorry i couldn't help earlier! (i do have signal now, though!) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i'm using nostr+blossom+lightning as the backend for a new developer tool project. "uber/airbnb/doordash for software testing". calling it valet network. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs "Are you trying to just make it do ui testing without making people write selenium?" npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs the normie equivalent of the dev tool itself is my previous start-up: sauce labs npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs dev tool test infrastructure. proof-of-concept: https://preview--valet-network.lovable.app/ npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs i'm currently vibe coding a new testing tool/service heavily inspired by your work. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs sorry, i should have said that more clearly in the original post. thanks for clicking, though! if you were to use something like this in the future, what is the most important thing it needs to have or do? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs it's a preview/mvp/proof-of-concept with dummy data showing all the (visible) parts of the system. hoping to add a real back-end with a nostr relay, blossom file server, and a few (real) cloud nodes this week. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs new valet network preview just landed. simplified workflow. primary touch point should be like google or chatgpt with just a field and a button. it's even "lazy mode" optimized. if you just want to see it work, you don't even have to enter any text. just hit the button! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs not financial advice but I just minted 6 echojacks and burned all my cores lol npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs a lotta y’all still don’t get it npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs uh-oh, it looks like i'm an nft creator now... npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm. we've got a latte do! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs oddbean.com is a decent-ish hn/reddit style interface into nostr events. most people don't know it exists, though. And it could still use some more ux polish, too. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs stay humble and stack waffles 🧇 #foodstr npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs link to the code? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs answer: no (source: primal support) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs stay humble and stack cookies npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs yes. and it looks like i need to go create a signal account... 😎 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs followed! yes, test automation is my thing. my initial goal with valet network is/was to start standing up auromated tests for all the nostr mobile apps on real devices. happy to chat. how? does nostr have a good group chat app, yet? otherwise, maybe a new channel on matrix.org? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs thanks! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Is there a way quick to download the zap & lightning transaction data (amount, date, etc.) from Primal's app? Working on taxes now. 😬 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Zaps on Nostr are all fun and games until tax season rolls around. ⚡😭 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs hey, you! help me with a question? if you do any kind of mobile testing (manual or with an automation tool like appium, etc)... and you *don't* use an existing cloud service of real devices to test on, why? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm. stay humble and stack waffles. 🧇 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs anyone know when/where is the next nostr conf? i wanna go! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs arguably should have calculated based on market cap instead 🤷. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm 🌞 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs I have it on extremely good authority that the rations the firefighters in LA are getting are not great. They're spending their own $$ on Macrobars. Wanna help? Flood the zone with Macrobars. Not kidding. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Okay, Oddbean is really cool. Reddit/HN interface to the same Nostr events you'd otherwise see in a native Nostr client app. Also provides some visibility into events/replies you might miss (and relays you might want to add to your list). npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs What's your experience so far with OpenNode? Any gotchas as a developer? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Friday night = pizza night 🍕 #foodstr npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs I made a thing! (In this particular case, a Raspberry Pi hat for driving Dynamixel servos.) Any other KiCad or open source hardware fans here? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs (Thanks to Hank Green for that cosmic reminder.) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs If ice is a rock 🧊 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Thanks! It's only taken like half my life to learn how to make it. (Knew nothing about circut design or making mechanical things at the start.) It's been an adventure. I should pick easier projects next time, but I do like a challenge. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Screenshots for the click-hesitant... npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs 😎 The goal is to make a programmable, motorized version of "Pin Art". npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs One! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Really liking the new Primal app. Especially the integration of short notes and long form content. It's seamless. Now we just need to get more people to post long form notes. Nothing a zap or two can't fix? npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Check the dev branches on those repos. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Need to test something? 🧐 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs hydrate to be great! 🌊 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs ❤️ or 🍑 ❓ npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Yes, and no. Validated there's demand the particular idea (hosted mobile app and web testing). Plenty of SaaS offerings in this space (Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm). And plenty of people do self-hosted (Selenium Grid). I'm still trying to gauge demand for making a decentralized version, but at the point where I need to "JFDI" a minimal MVP and see what happens. I've talked with some big tech companies that already built out their own version of "in the wild" beta testing by having some number of users volunteer to beta test for free. Million sat question is whether smaller companies not at that big scale would be interested in a paid and more heavily automated version of the idea. (Basically a decentralized, automated TestFlight beta test run... powered by Nostr and paid in sats.) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs I'm hoping to grow Nostr by porting B2B SaaS apps to the Nostr protocol. Having zaps and Lightning already integrated is a killer app for new projects. But, yeah, most normies don't know it exists. I think the solution is more marketing to JS, Python, and Go web devs with sample apps for building on Nostr Protocol. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs I love this line graph. Succinctly sums up the last four years in tech (and everything). Do zaps count as "e-commerce"? 🤔 npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Thanks! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Made homemade guacamole for the first time today. (It's basically just a fancy word for "mashed avocado".) It's as big of an accomplishment as making toast or boiling water. Still, I'm adding it to the list of "things I know how to make now". If avocados turn out to be actually bad for you, I'm going to be so mad. It does feel like they're too good to be true, though. 🥑🧑🍳 #foodstr npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Current status: Working on a new Nim library for Nostr. Fun to get into the weeds on all the little things. (And futzing around with AI image generators for a project logo...) npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Avocado toast (with a dash of garlic salt) and a latte really is the perfect breakfast. It hits all the major food groups: npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Stay Humble, Stack Waffles npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs gm nostr. we have a latte do! ☕ npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Them: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Migration to self-hosted GitLab seems sensible. npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Can someone with more clout than me in the #nostr and #bitcoin world let @npub15dq…lm5m and his team know that the main MicroStrategy site is unavailable and showing an "Access Denied" error on some browsers? (Chrome 126.0.6478.110 on Android 14 with cookies deleted. Firefox on Android seems fine.) #testr npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs 👋🏽, @npub15dq…lm5m! Let's talk about building a Nostr & Lightning-based decentralized, automated web site testing and monitoring service! npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Sneak peek: Next version of Selenium WebDriver npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Current status: Stacking npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs It will be funny when someone sees this in the distant future and wonders why I thought $100K USD was a "micropayment". npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs I love @npub1cc7…h2hf so much. We're finally living in the micropayment world of the future. The micropayment Wikipedia page needs to be updated with information about Nostr, Lightning Network, Data Vending Machines... and Zaps!! #DVM. ⚡ npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs all too well npub1jszk2xhqy34vznn2hnpwlzltyhjyeg7kdaxhcjylyhmsvk5kcvvs8redht hugs Nostr data vending machines, specifically @npub1cc7…h2hf, are amazing! Low friction way to get a quick speech-to-text transcript of an audio file for just a few sats (among other cool things). #dvm Thanks, @npub1nxa…a6q8 and @npub1l2v…ajft! 😎🤖💥
