1. Yumyume - version 0.2.0
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
yumyume (npub1msw…xl8w), the Nostr-based social bookmarking tool, just got a flavorful update. This release introduces a global feed, allowing users to explore all shared bookmarks in one place, enhancing discovery and engagement. The update also brings a brand-new logo, designed by bitpopart (npub1gwa…a2sz), giving Yumyume a fresh and more recognizable identity. There was version 0.1.1 release also in this week.
Looking ahead, the team is working on a custom event kind in the 1000-10000 range to enable editable bookmarks, improving how signed bookmarks per URL function beyond the limitations of NIP-51. The developers invite the Nostr community to collaborate on refining this feature. The concept is from jurjendevries (npub1l77…swft).
To support its growth, contributions to the geyser (npub1kmw…xqk9) campaign are encouraged, with rewards available for even less than the cost of a yearly Pinboard subscription.

Server fixes address relaypool errors and duplicate pubkeys, while backend improvements allow configurable relay pool settings. Redis now auto restarts and GitHub discussions are enabled for community feedback.

👋 Stay in Touch & Zap
===================
Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me, Nomishka with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this thirteenth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.

The cost per participant is 45€, covering the full-day space rental and everything we need for a great time together.
From our last meetups, we’ve learned that deep conversations are the golden thread connecting us all. We’re beyond excited to see where this gathering takes us and can’t wait for all the inspiring exchanges ahead! 💬💫
If you feel like sharing something with the group, whether it’s a short talk or an idea, go for it! No pressure, just an open space. 🎙️

⚡ Most Zapped Last Week
======================
Nostr’s Value4Value (V4V) model is all about plebs directly rewarding creators for the value they receive, no middlemen fees, no ads, just pure community-driven support using sats via the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Thanks to https://zaplife.lol/ by PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) for providing this data. Here are the top zapped posts from last week, showcasing creators who received the most engagement:

quoting nevent1q…6e9uDO NOT zap this note.
Absolutely DO NOT reply to this note because I WILL Zap you.
And for the love of god, please do not zap others who reply to this Note. I would hate to create a #Zapathon in this thread.

quoting nevent1q…jp2mThe ONLY thing you would need to be concerned about in regards to #bitcoin repricing the entire world, imposing a global free market — leading to truth, hope, and abundance is that it remained decentralized and secure.
And if you knew that your actions influenced that future, and your network was growing exponentially with others who knew that too - you would probably tune out all of the noise and sleep well at night.
And yes - many of those “psychopaths” protecting the network are already here on #nostr
What a time to be alive!

quoting nevent1q…pdehRSS is one of those humble protocols that glues the web. It was born out of the same values (openness, data portability, ...) that are the foundation of Nostr.
You may not be aware, but you can already export most of the content you create and publish today into an RSS feed.
- Most blog platforms allow users to make their content available as an RSS feed.
- Most bookmark services allow users to create an RSS feed from their bookmarks.
- Plenty of third-party services enable the creation of RSS feeds for your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts (think RSS.app, IFTTT, ...).
- Most podcast platforms generate an RSS feed for your show.
- ...
On the other hand, Nostr is poised to become the new web infrastructure. It will dismantle the walled gardens we've been living in for too long and is already shaping an ecosystem of decentralized apps that will gradually replace centralized ones, one by one.
Connecting RSS and Nostr is obviously a necessary step to accelerate the transition toward this new web powered by Nostr. This Geyser Project (link below) aims to build the necessary momentum to create a tool that enables everyone to make the most of RSS in a Nostr world.
Applications are countless: just imagine turning the RSS feed of bookmarks about a specific topic into a nice stream of Nostr notes pushed to a specific npub profile, and then transformin those Nostr notes into a beautiful website built with Npub.pro (nprofile…zdyk) .
⇒ Help me build rss2nostr!
I'm fully aware there are already a few tools out there attempting this, but all of them are quite limited in features or designed to only serve tech users.
What we need is a web app that allows users to:
- Submit the RSS feed they want to connect with Nostr
- Define rules and parameters for converting RSS items into Nostr events
- Specify the Nostr profile they would like to publish the events to
Furthermore, using a liberal open-source license, we may enable the development of competing/specialized web apps.

1. Yumyume - version 0.2.0
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
yumyume (npub1msw…xl8w), the Nostr-based social bookmarking tool, just got a flavorful update. This release introduces a global feed, allowing users to explore all shared bookmarks in one place, enhancing discovery and engagement. The update also brings a brand-new logo, designed by bitpopart (npub1gwa…a2sz), giving Yumyume a fresh and more recognizable identity. There was version 0.1.1 release also in this week.
Looking ahead, the team is working on a custom event kind in the 1000-10000 range to enable editable bookmarks, improving how signed bookmarks per URL function beyond the limitations of NIP-51. The developers invite the Nostr community to collaborate on refining this feature. The concept is from jurjendevries (npub1l77…swft).
To support its growth, contributions to the geyser (npub1kmw…xqk9) campaign are encouraged, with rewards available for even less than the cost of a yearly Pinboard subscription.

👋 Stay in Touch & Zap
===================
Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me, Nomishka with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this thirteenth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.
