I build open-source, privacy-focused apps for anyone whose data is not for sale. I use AI tools to write the code, but do not include surveillance or invasive permissions. My apps are designed to work across platforms, making the switch to Linux phones easier when they're more available. (I'm a beginner in this, learning as I go. I'll start with publishing Flutter apps on Codeberg and Zapstore.)

Last Notes npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Took me a while to catch on that they were happening. Eventually there was enough mention of sports at work to realize it wasn't just the Superbowl. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth https://blossom.primal.net/0acc69747fa5c6f73291c80c8b5bcab5147931e91fb3972b954b37a5eea94060.png npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth So the difficulty adjustment means we don't need a majority of miners? That's interesting. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I appreciate this. So BIP110 is a softfork, and if Core pushes the issue, they hardfork, and whatever chain has the most length/hashrate/proof of work wins? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Knots was an option before BIP110. Very few people actually explain how a soft fork works, what percentage of nodes (or "economic nodes", whatever that means) or hashrate makes the difference, whether this is setting up a hard fork, and what happens if that happens, worst-case. How does each user decide which chain they're on, etc.? Maybe it's 3 hours in on some podcast I've missed, but it takes quite a bit of digging to find a good written rundown. Maybe someone can write a long-form article on Nostr on it. My basic understanding: Whenever there's been a fork, whatever coin forked off has died. Usually it's been others initiating the controversial change - this time it's Core. v30 is the "fork" in my opinion, the departure from what has been, but Core has the advantage of being the default implementation everyone knows. Feels a bit like voting. I want to decide based on what I believe is right, not which side I think will win. But I don't even understand the mechanics yet of how those things play out, where in an election, or a sports game, assuming things are honest, people know how winning works. And I have looked - I imagine many others haven't had a chance to try to learn about it. I think this confusion is part of the price cooling off - other things scare the suitcoiners, only a few get under the skins of real Bitcoiners, but something like this can. When we're through it and these questions are answered, I think a lot of people will kick back into gear who have held back because of this uncertainty. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Nah. She's gotta tell you when to stack harder! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Sounds a little too close to Abaddon. I guess that means I should HODL instead! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth That's my kind of morning! Similar here, but not fresh today. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'd rather have the cold any day! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth A dear friend once asked what it meant when I said "I'm proud of you." So I thought about it, and wrote out a dozen things I meant by those words. If one of them reminds you of someone in your life, I'm sure they'd be blessed to hear it (or something like it) from you! I see the effort you put in, in life, and I respect you for it. I look up to you. I'm honoured to be known as your friend. I enjoy speaking highly of you. I see your hardships, and I celebrate when you overcome. I count it an honour to walk beside you. I believe the things you're doing are worthwhile. I see strength being forged out of your weakness, and I rejoice. I cheer for you. I wish there were more people like you in the world. Your example inspires me. I'm grateful the Lord counted me worthy to be your friend. #gratitude #honour #kindness #honor #respect #character #joy npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Why? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Yes. And it's permissionless, in self-custody - even if the purchasing power never changed, that's a huge improvement over fiat. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I guess there are enough bots on WhatsApp and Telegram, we don't need them in our Nostr DMs too? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Looks like you're doing great! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I've found the first couple things that need fixing - it'll keep improving over the next weeks! #nevent1q…9cwc npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Muted. I'm not here for the opinions of AI bots. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Did the AI agent initiate it, or the "friend"? Key point... "lacks legal capacity to appear in court on its own behalf". Maybe AI agents don't have constitutional rights. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I still believe it's the best currency - it makes sense that it would come under attack. I just wonder how many Bitcoiners are waiting out the process, wishing they could keep the convictions they've always held without getting kicked off the blockchain or accused of trying to fork Bitcoin. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I only see a little of the chatter about the Bitcoin price, but I haven't seen anyone mentioning the uncertainty around the fallout of Core v30 and a potential fork as a factor. Macro forces influence the big players more than the humble stackers, but this is something impacting Bitcoiners, and I wonder how many are unsure. A fork is spoken about as either a threatening event to be avoided at all costs, or a solution to a problem, from either side. Not many people explain what actually happens if it comes, and it seems like a tension between choosing what you believe is right and betting on what you think the majority will choose as the main Bitcoin. If I understand the history right, in other times the people pushing a change forked off, but here, the maintainers of Bitcoin Core itself have initiated the contentious change. So if there's a fork, it's harder to say which side would be splintering off - the main implementation changing Bitcoin's uses, or the alternatives keeping it as money. Running Knots, not upgrading Core, changing settings, or choosing BIP110 are ways people are showing their stance, but we don't know if it means helping decide the right path forward for Bitcoin or getting kicked off into some minority spinoff that tries to keep Satoshi's Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash but lacks the strength of the main network. To make it even more complicated, there's debate over what even makes the difference - nodes, miners, or both, and whether the balance of power has gone off track. How do we defend this solution we know is so powerful in solving the world's problems, without damaging its value or splitting it into things it shouldn't be? Is a fork inevitable? What happens if it comes? #fork #BTC #BIP110 #asknostr npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth KJV has those verses. I never liked seeing them removed. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth My first app is now on Zapstore!!! 🎉 It's a very fancy contact app, a personal CRM with features I've often wished existed, for anyone who intentionally keeps in touch with many people. Thanks to @nprofile…8ren and @nprofile…tdq0 for being so helpful, building great tools and pointing me in the right direction when I got stuck. And to all the developers and vibecoders who inspired me to start building what I've wished I could, and to @nprofile…2d0r for the tutorial that helped me get started. If you find bugs, navigation oddities, or things you expected would work differently, you're welcome to let me know! I'll be improving things as I continue to build! https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqwkxmmd9enhyctrv4skuer5wf6hg6pwvdhkumn9vd6xjmmwwvpzp6m8xj8p98uhlwplvgzhvs6z6c2tg0fags8mrq4purcyzrdvxcyjqvzqqqr7pv7q4l9m #crm #vibecoding #beta #Flutter #freedomtech npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth With lots of trial and error, I got it eventually! Once I figured out how to get the config file to fetch the APK from my computer instead of downloading it, but still get the metadata from Codeberg, it worked. Just had to set up my signatures and all that to properly sign the file. If more specific feedback is helpful, I'd be happy to share. It did work in the end! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I think I'm hitting some kind of context window limit, not a timeout. I get this error: Error: failed to download APK: failed to write file: context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout or context cancellation while reading body) The APK is about 82 MB. And, a question - will people with @nprofile…tdq0 and Zapstore Alpha both "automatically" update to Alpha? I want to set people up with Alpha, but don't want to confuse them when things merge. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Haha! That helped. I got it installed! It struggled to download the APK file - it worked on the seventh try! But I saw there was something I needed to fix, so I deleted the file from the zsp cache and tried again. Using the zsp publish command, it shows the download progress, but times out before it finishes downloading. I'll go find faster internet and see if that helps. Almost there! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Fun adventure for the little ones! I'd block off a room, preferably in the middle of the house, make it into a fort, bundle up, carefully light a few candles or oil lamps. You've probably already got it covered. Maybe let the taps drip so pipes don't freeze, if it goes on a while. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…tdq0 🙂 npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Yes. A weakness of our system is the incredibly short-term thinking. Out of a four-year term, only maybe two years are useful, and the rest is aimed at the elections every two years. No long-term ability to keep a coherent plan or steady hand at the wheel, and no requirement for politicians to have any clue about history or what's happening in the world. Very few navigate those things wisely, and things get undone the next time the power flips to the opposing party. The rest of the world gets to figure out how to deal with the new clueless ones every time an election changes it all. The benefits don't come without drawbacks. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Feeling slightly silly - I'm having trouble installing zsp. Says it needs go installed, so I tried "sudo apt install golang-go". But it said zap requires a newer go version, so I removed the apt version and installed the snap version. Then it seems to be struggling with an incorrect file path. I can find the file, at a slightly different path, but it doesn't seem to do anything if I try to execute it, and "zsp publish --wizard" just says the command zsp is not found, so I don't think it's successfully installed. Downloading the release file didn't get me any further. I guess I'm still a newbie... I can keep trying things, but thought I'd let you know. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Makes me want to put down my phone and read a book, the good old-fashioned way. There's so much value in what is real. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I don't get the sudden need to add it to everything. My everyday life was okay without it, and I like it that way. Using it to create apps I couldn't build before, so more people can use more private apps and devices, building on other areas of expertise I do have... That's where I'm finding it helpful. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth It's 2026. We can send rockets into space and back again. But software still can't figure out leading zeroes. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Well done! I've been hoping it would be ready when I'm ready to publish my app for the first time! Increased my daily zap limit for this one! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth We're still early. Gold and silver are well-known to many people who still know nothing about Bitcoin. I'm no expert analyst, but it makes sense to me that the Bitcoiners are saving up first, then the rest of the world in the way they know, and they'll catch on later when they learn more. It would be cool to be able to measure self-custody of these three (not that I think we should) and see how that adds up. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I don't like it. I'm pretty used to computers, and it makes me feel like I don't know where to start on even a simple task. I'm sure it can be used brilliantly by those who like it, but it's an obstacle otherwise. Just set 3 family members up with Kubuntu this week. Way easier place to get started. Mint is solid, the best I found for managing system/boot stuff, and for playing a DVD, but somewhat boring. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you... well said. There's a reason Rich Men North of Richmond struck such a chord. Most of us feel this. I believed there would still be a way to do things right financially, despite our very broken system, because I knew the kind of God we have. But I didn't know what that way would be. I felt this way, more and more riled up, until I learned about Bitcoin and found that there was that way I believed would come. It still took a few more years to switch my thinking back out of the fiat mindset. I don't know who will do what affecting the price - I'd be happy to see the big players give up and go elsewhere so more lands in the hands of the people. The manipulation is frustrating, but I'm still encouraged, glad this now exists. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Trying this out... It's much cheaper! It doesn't blow through my payments nearly as quickly. I'm glad I did all that copying and pasting first, so I would understand more of what's happening. I learned a lot. Now this means I can afford to finish it up! #nevent1q…90wc npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Looking forward! Is the new publishing app Zapstore Alpha, or a separate project? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Time to hibernate! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…wgfc npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The People protected in the 4th Amendment are Americans, no? The laws that followed spoke of aliens. Are foreigners without the right to be in the country intented to have all the same protections? Obviously, the searches shouldn't violate the Constitution. Agreed. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I read her later book, Tramp for the Lord, one chapter at a time whenever I needed my perspective set right. Her stories were amazing. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I think that happened in 2021. But 2022 showed us the nation still exists. Just not at the government level. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Somehow they programmed every adult in society to ask how homeschoolers will be socialized. It's not a concern - it's a talking point. Maybe because we don't make very good socialists. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'd probably make it and something else you know people will like. Then they can try it without it being the only option. If you have little kids coming, some like trying things, others like what's familiar. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Needing to hear this. Lots landing on me at once! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Interesting. Maybe it's something I can incorporate in mine. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Oh, dear. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth By the time she's old enough, she'll be ready to be the teacher instead of the student! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth They only control the narrative if they are believed. I don't care about the narrative - I care about the truth. They can make narratives all they want, while humble people keep stacking. Why an ETF? That's all linked in with the banking system, still trusting the same unfaithful stewards who've destroyed so much. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Often I wish people could see what I see in them. Or even better, what God sees. He knows how to complete the work He's begun in us. #nevent1q…q4yr npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Encourages sending to the same address repeatedly, too. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Shakespeare doesn't build native apps - I would have used it if it did. I used @nprofile…8ren with Claude Sonnet 4.5 in my browser, copying the code into VS Codium on my computer, doing research to choose my approach and asking questions along the way. It gets expensive, but works well. I like the big context window, the memory for seeing the whole project at once. Anthropic closed my account and doesn't have anonymous payments. I did a little bit with Maple AI too - hopefully it becomes easier to use for this with more file-sharing flexibility. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Is there any lower-cost alternative? Looks like a project worth carrying on, if the overhead costs can be reduced! So many tools are available now. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I like GrapheneOS way better than Android. The right apps make a big difference. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth And not everyone has zaps set up - likes work anyway. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Awesome!!! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth If you know that already, sure. In an emergency when nobody knows how to verify it's real, cash still would be more recognizable, easier to trade with, and less of a way to stand out. A lot depends on those relationships you've already built. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth https://codeberg.org/Grace-and-Truth/Connections/releases 🎉 I've published the first beta release of the new CRM/contact app I've been building! 🎉 💃 It's ready for anyone who's interested to download (on Android) and try out. There are some width errors and things, but enough of the features are there and working to see whether you like it! I've picked up ideas from different places, but I don't know of any mobile app like it. I dove deep into designing parts I know well, and can add more features for other specialized uses over time. Thank you all for inspiring me! It'll be a few more versions before I put it on @nprofile…tdq0, and I'm excited about their Alpha version. Thanks to @nprofile…8ren for making the AI model available, and to @nprofile…rt0k and @nprofile…2d0r for sharing about projects and getting my wheels turning. #vibecoding #crm #letsbuild npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Interesting. I switched to VS Codium when I learned it existed. Still working in the browser with Claude, getting better at it as I go. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Sad reality for most people these days. It's intentional. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Happy to hear it! You'll get it! I'm liking Kubuntu - anything solid with KDE, I find very pleasant to use. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Oh, and checking others' follow lists, when you find people you really appreciate - you find some treasures there! You're not asking for how to fill a feed. I'm just sharing where I find people where there's more interaction instead of only broadcasting. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I've appreciated @nprofile…xupq's encouragments that it's the less-known accounts that show more interaction. I still have a "feed", but with fewer accounts with tons of followers and more smaller ones. Those with the most followers aren't going to be interacting with them all. They're good for getting news out, and a good starting point to see what's happening when you join. But going in the comments, finding ones you respect and want to hear from more often, you can build a good list and start to see who people are and what you uniquely have to offer. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The middle can be the hardest part of a project. My dad taught me not to make a list of tasks until a project is almost finished and you don't want to forget the last few details. (Don't do the math on how many thousand screws you have to put in the deck boards - just start!) As a girl, I would keep going in anything until I knew I was well past a halfway point before stepping back to measure progress, so I wouldn't get stuck. I started my project with an overview document outlining the features I wanted in my new app. I could make notes of the next few steps I didn't want to forget or anything else I needed. Now I'm officially at the "make a list" stage, working through my sticky note of things to finish before polishing up the app for real users. I'm sure there will be more I don't see yet, but I'm nearing the goal of version 1.0.0! Most of the features I want in the first release are built - now it's testing and filling in the missing details! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm sorry, I spoke a bit hastily. I can make it work, if I'm really firm with it, and patient with the file-sharing process. Looking forward to the improvements I'm sure will come. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Wondering if I'm being unreasonable, I'm running a test, taking turns trying each model within one chat, with the same prompt: "I'll upload a file - don't do anything with it until I tell you more." I'm uploading a different txt file each time. Llama 3.3, OpenAI GPT-OSS, Gemma, and Qwen3-VL passed the test fine. Qwen 3 Coder and even Kimi K2 showed considerable restraint. DeepSeek R1 thought for 44 seconds and responded with a long answer, but didn't write code. So I can try uploading files with the chat set to a model that obeys more easily, then switching to an overly eager one when it's time to build. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I want to use @nprofile…u4p9 for coding, but it still has some maddening limitations that make it not a viable option yet. I don't know which are the LLM's fault and which are Maple's, but a few improvements would make a big difference: File sharing: - I can only upload one file at a time, and not with drag and drop - there's a file picker that starts from scratch every time instead of opening the last directory I used. - There's no option to show it a repository online or a folder on the device so it can scan more than one file at once. Even without this, uploading a bunch of files in one message and doing it more efficiently would be enough. Behaviour: - No matter what I tell it, the AI responds to every prompt by jumping straight into fixing or writing code. I literally just said (using Kimi K2 Thinking), "I can only share files one at a time, so don't respond until I've shared a bunch to show you what's happening." I expected some short response back, maybe with observations about that first file, but sure enough, it generated a whole page worth of code. How do I get it up to speed with what I want when that's the response to every prompt, and it takes 10 prompts to get my point across? And all the unwanted processing takes up usage credits and context window space? - I saw the same behaviour with Qwen3 Coder a few weeks ago - if it's a Maple thing, maybe it can be easily fixed. With Claude Sonnet 4.5, I can tell it to wait as I get it up to speed, upload 20 or so files at a time if I like, and let it observe as I go. It does respond to each message, but it will wait if I say to until I tell it what I'd like to build next. Feels like a functional conversation with a capable employee instead of a frustrating conversation with an overconfident, pushy one. I hope this is constructive - the tool is so close to being ready, I hope it becomes the one I use soon. It's fine for asking questions, but for working on a project like I am, it feels like a battle the whole way through. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Prayer, rejoicing, resisting, giving, obeying, praising, enduring... For wrestling against flesh and blood? Archery, I suppose. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Primal with Minibits has worked for me. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…u78t... Good ones to add to your privacy packs! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Helpful article - I appreciate it! I do see your point about "FOSS" and "FLOSS" - there's no technical difference in meaning except to clarify it means free as in freedom, as it always did. It does seem (from my very recent research of the last few days) that there may be a difference in the communities using the two terms, and those using FLOSS seem to be more focused on the copyleft approach. This could be a fallacy, but it was my impression. Before writing I found this article that indicates the same: https://jrtechs.net/open-source/foss-vs-floss. It's why I said "if". I'm sure it isn't a clear line. But it seems to be potentially two approaches to the same thing. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you. The GPL ones were long and unpleasant enough that I wasn't getting through them - if it's too much for me to read when I'm choosing a license, it's too much. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The young man laughing in the back... Enjoyed it but realized he has to follow that! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm starting to build apps, keeping this in mind - building the ones I'll want when it's time for the switch. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Amen. Didn't America take this approach with Julian Assange? I want to see sovereign nations be sovereign, with their own territory and borders, not chasing down whoever they feel like targeting. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth #FOSS vs. #FLOSS... Choosing an open-source software #license was a little trickier than I expected. Some explanations encouraged #copyleft licenses, to make sure the software will always be free. Sounded like a good idea - when given a bunch of options, I tend to choose the most thorough route by default. #Linux has a #GPL license, and clearly made an impact. The #AGPL covers all the bases. But it's quite long, and strangely authoritarian, imposing a lot of rules in the name of making the software free. It wasn't what I was expecting to find in an open-source license. Then I found a video of Linus Torvalds actually arguing against GPL v3. He used v2 for Linux, not "v2 or later", and didn't think v3 should have been considered the same licence. The #MIT license is wonderfully short, just a few readable paragraphs. I'd have gladly chosen it, except that it doesn't explicitly cover patents. I landed on the #Apache licence (v2). It seemed the best fit for my project, to let people use it as freely as they like, and didn't impose anything arduous. I would've been happy to guarantee users the right to the code no matter who builds what with it, but I want people to be able to use my ideas without having to choose the same license for everything they touch, and without jumping through hoops. Maybe it's odd to say permissive licenses are freer than strong copyleft - I don't know. It just seems more free if people can use it easily without red tape, whoever they are, for whatever they like. If this is part of the difference between FOSS and this new term "FLOSS", I'm happy with the former. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Voice dictation in the command line! What will they think of next? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Absolutely. I've really enjoyed all you share! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth When I start feeling black-pilled when I check Nostr, I figure out who to unfollow (often to follow again when times change). You know, the feeling that the walls in every country in the world are closing in on us, and we just hope we can outrun the corruption long enough to live our lives. I get scared too. But I'm always looking to point people to hope. It's the value of an algorithm we control - I can choose whose notes I see, mute npubs I really would like to never see again, and mute words that don't need to be part of my day. I'm not complaining or rebuking anyone, only expressing that balance between awareness and sanity, and the importance of knowing truth without losing joy. Thanks to all who bring a wholesome, productive, cheerful contrast to the important news we know we also need. It helps us be aware and still enjoy the life we've been given. @nprofile…xupq mentioned helping each other find new follows... I'll mention a few who brighten my day: @nprofile…wgfc, @nprofile…jen4, @nprofile…ka2t, @nprofile…5328, @nprofile…yxll (even if it's only a bot), @nprofile…eylv, @nprofile…9qzx, @nprofile…quv5. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Beginner here - I started with my app description in outline form in a word processor, so I could copy and paste from it. I didn't have subfiles, just the main one where I could keep track of what was happening. I was happier with the results when I did the briefing myself on a new Claude chat than when I tried using its summary from the last one. Eventually I had a codebase ready, and sharing the file structure tree and code files replaced sharing that starting document. I still had to walk it through each process, to build it really well, and knew what I wanted (both for UI and for database structure). npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth So many now would actually like to know how to do these things, how to be that thoughtful, and have never seen it done. Match this with the safety of a good man who won't take advantage and has his own kindness to offer... and your light will shine very bright in this dark world. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Only use your NIP-05 as an email address to sign up if it works as an email you can check. You'll want to be able to verify your email, and maybe use it if users need to contact you. I set up a new (private) email, and used my NIP-05 as the comment between the publishing name and email when I created my GPG signature keys, so people can see it's me. My npub seemed a bit overkill for that. You're welcome to DM me if you like, since I just set it up. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Sin. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I read Utopia, and it wasn't as Utopian as I expected. Very Communist, very strange. Nothing like what I'd want the world to be. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Talking as if he has nothing to sell... While he tries to get people to buy his shares to he can buy all the Bitcoin. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth He's a keeper! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I was amazed the first time I heard Microsoft owns it... the vast majority of open-source code is hosted on a platform under the control of a corporation that embodies the opposite. The switch would be harder for devs with a long history there, working on each other's projects, I'm sure. I just had an old account as a user who wanted to report an issue once in a while. So I didn't mind starting fresh on a platform with better ownership, with a new account to match my Nostr profile. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Now I understand that whole "$5 wrench attack" thing. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I've heard this a little - why not lie about the excess deaths that didn't fit their narrative the last few years, as well as all the other factors. Canada considers murder healthcare, for the unborn, the old, the pained, the poor, the homeless... There are all kinds of things that could contribute to the population growth reducing, that they might want covered up. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Neither was I! I was thinking of self-hosting with Forgejo, and I still might as an alternative, so Codeberg makes sense. It's a German non-profit hosting Forgejo for open-source software. I didn't want GitHub, GitLab didn't seem like the answer either. As a user for a day so far, I'm happy with it! Haha. A few apps I've used are on it, which is cool. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth During covid I could tell I was lacking those chances to bounce my ideas off people, and the refinement and discipline that used to bring. It's important. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth At first glance the other day, I thought you were saying you were getting indoor plumbing for the first time (still a possibility, depending on where people are). I was processing the irony of someone being on Nostr before having running water. Made more sense when I read it again! Washing machines are wonderful things! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Is that "70% less likely" the same math as those misleading relative percentage terms they use for VAX percentages? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The combination of these two notes in my feed cracked me up. Love it! #nevent1q…xju4 https://blossom.primal.net/608bcf29934b593723277272b276bb905551c5c522bb2f1c78141aa1ae37b146.png npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Hi! None yet, just GrapheneOS for now. But there are a few in early production I'd like to try - I'm guessing that'll be for my next phone. If Google locks alternative app stores out of Android, a lot of people may be needing to make a switch. When I got a degoogled phone, I was pleased to see many of the apps I'd been using all along were open source. It made the transition way more pleasant. So I might as well start building the apps I want on my next one! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you! 🙂 npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I like it. I might try Forgejo since I have the Pi running anyway, and let it be a backup. But it seems something remote would be a better start. You're right - it lets me focus on building. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Nothing wrong with maintaining some privacy. We use Bitcoin, after all. But yes, it's a delight to know and trust the builders of the tools we use. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I opened my Bible to Job 26 today, and the last verse caught my eye. The chapter reminded me of Isaiah 40 - majestic descriptions of God creating. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14
