I've been relatively quiet on Nostr for the majority of 2024. A lot of fiat mining and other stuff while silently stacking etc.
I want to come back here to also time stamp some things that I am working on developing.
Nostr has been a great protocol for a lot possibilities with some early personal projects as some cool proof of concepts that others have incorporated into very polished clients (like chat).
Also thanks to discovering Keet and listening to some TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) podcasts I have gone down the Pear and Holepunch stack.
My latest project (I may have mentioned a month or so ago) is going to be a Nostr\Hypercore client that allows people to play LAN games across the Internet. I did something like this 20 years ago and I am revamping it in a complete decentralized and client controlled way.
Chat and Identity via Nostr
Game play coordination via Holepunch
I also planned out a private mode, where users didn't have to connect to hosted relays (public mode) keeping things consistent and still using Nostr.
This got me on an adjacent project to build an embedded relay library that will have the ability to peer with other users and still use the client like a regular Nostr experience. Simplified for client code and UX. i.e. A p2p chat room of local nostr relays.
I sort of remember someone doing this with a p2p relay in the earlier days of Nostr and it's been pretty cool to build.
Either way, i'll try to keep more current on developments here as this is going to be slow development (I have maybe 2-3 hours of free time tops). Stay tuned on some long form stuff on how it's going.
