This week, I did an interesting experiment with my old phone.

I installed Openclaw on it and took it for my commute.

Wrote about my learnings in a blog post.

My first work in 2026 is this 😉

#asknostr

Any working guidance on how to setup a nsec bunker?

I find most of the online guides out of date. Some domains are not reachable too, or their ssl certificate has expired, etc.

Fixed some issues here yesterday!

📢📢📢 KANBANSTR UPDATE

1. Don't want a card on your board? You can now move it to "Bin". Thanks to request from
   npub16ux4qzg…g6lra7

   and idea from
   npub1emketar…xdkj66

The binned cards can be seen using a new option in the Board settings

The binned cards are shown with a bright red outline, separating them from other cards.

2. When you drag a card from one place to another, you will now see a dotted line that tells you where the dropped card will be positioned. This reduces confusion where precise ordering is important.

3. Demo boards are now available to demonstrate Epic -> User Story -> Task hierarchy.

Sample Epics Board

Sample User Stories Board

Sample Tasks Board

4. Minor bug fixes

#kanbanstr

📢📢📢 TODAY'S KANBANSTR UPDATE

When you want to assign a card to someone, you don't have to search, copy and paste the npub of that person anymore.

The maintainers of the board are auto-populated as a dropdown and you can just select one. Thanks to the contribution by

🙏

This makes sense as only the maintainers can edit any card on the board.

Thanks to

for suggesting this 🙏

📢📢📢 KANBANSTR UPDATE OF THE DAY

1. Extensive filtering is possible now due to amazing work by
   npub1cz2ve34…gra9kv

2. Few controls have been re-designed to provide more space for the board's content

Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsvp9xvc6em87tfhsm6jq9qrg7xn35j2vh7m2usn24xen5t7hcx5qcz8xyq7 for contributing to this too!

📢📢📢 ANOTHER KANBANSTR UPDATE

SUPPORT FOR CARD LINKING Now, you can link one card with another. Supported use cases:

a. Parent-child relationships (Epics->Features->Stories anyone?)
b. Blocked by

You just need to copy the linking string from the card you want to link to.

Then, paste it in the "Link another card" section when editing the card

BUG FIX Previously, we allowed adding the same person as assignee to a card more than once. This is not possible now. Thanks to

🙏

NIP-TOPO rocks

Happened to shamelessly project the "heart or ass" picture from pollerama in a very professional meetup today 😂

It was the "Unfuck the internet" meet up by

And I was explaining #nostr to newbies when the questionable picture "flashed" on screen

The audience laughter probably woke the neighbours up 🤣

Oh.. and

almost fainted 😁

📢📢📢KANBANSTR UPDATE OF THE DAY

1. Like any Kanban card you see on the wild? You can now make it yours by cloning it into any board you maintain or own 😉

Thanks to

for building this feature 🚀

2. Do you want to track some other board's card on your board, without manually updating the status when the owner changes their own card's status?

You can do that by using the 'Track this card in another board' menu item.

For example, if you want to track some other team's specific card on your team's board, just so you could keep an eye on it.

A tracker card will have a little tracker symbol on the right like the one below 👇

And, when you open a tracker card, you can find a link to the original card too, like here 👇 (in case you want to edit it, given that you have access)

3. As usual, some minor bug fixes are

What next?

1. I have not been able to isolate the root cause of the bug reported by

   npub18ams6ew…ctp424

   about zapping someone who has nutzaps configured. I need to get to it. Looks like I need to read up more on

   npub1ndk0nwq…q7qfy4

2. Explore Git issues integration

3. Look at comments from the NIP PR (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1665), think and implement suggestions

📢📢📢 KANBANSTR UPDATES

1. After looking at the review comments on the NIP, i changed the data structures of Kanban boards and cards. This new data format allows easy multi-user capabilities on #kanbanstr boards.

Have you already created a board and are wondering if you have to re-create them due to this data model change? Worry not!

Kanbanstr has a migration wizard that will be visible only to the creator of the board which has older format data. Others will see the board normally.

Once you click the migrate button, all your cards in the board will be migrated in a minute or so. Expect a lot of popups if you sign using browser extensions. (Cc:

)

2. Now you can add maintainers to the board you created by clicking on the 'Edit board' button.

You can also edit the board's name and description there. (Cc: nostr:nprofile1q9yhwue69uhhydr0x45rvuenvdshjet6w9k8jumtd9axz735dacnwcmnd4nhz6ngv34hv6r4w4ur2e3kvfukuuttwqmhzcmjv45kgtn0de5k7m36xsurvwf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3vamnwvaz7tmwdaehgun9d35hgetn9ehhyee0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6rvd3hjumrfwejj7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vghsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9ecxcetzwd68ytnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgkwaehxw309amk7apwdehhxarj9ecxzun50yhsqgxzrvdxekey0n9ajwxuk943tf868qkspl7hkyk4ewadzu4qe4x3wqul6vat )

3. Any maintainer can now edit any card in the board.

4. You now get a new tab called "Boards I maintain" in the home screen.

5. There are a few visual improvements done as well, particularly in how the cards look.

What's next?

1. Zap splits on cards
2. "Add this card to my board too" feature ( @npub1cz2ve34nk0ukn0ph4yq2qx3ud8rfy5e0ak4epx42dn8gha0sdgpsgra9kv is working on this )
3. Zap a board
4. Tracking cards - Cards that track a different nostr event (like a git issue), which automatically travels columns in a board as the tracked event is updated
5. Few more comments to think about on the NIP PR reviews.

I have updated the PR for Kanban boards after looking at amazing suggestions from the community.

I am yet to resolve some more comments but also I would like to get more eyeballs on this at this point.

Thanks

for already adding your suggestions.

I am IN!

Has anyone faced this issue? During NWC payment to nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytf39ehxymewv9hxwctwdyhxxmcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4esz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshsqgzx2l0739jmazvq4yc8908mtev6v5fygpkmp7qey90w0zay0y6t8ccesg0j NWC relay wss://relay.getalby.com/v1, I am consistently getting error response like this:

["CLOSED","xxxx","blocked: Request rejected"]

Any idea how to get past this?

#AskNostr

Thanks for the opportunity

and

Happy to share how Nostr is potentially a multiplier for Indian social activism ecosystem.

Is there a simple UI based tool that allows us to push an already existing json signed event to a relay?

#AskNostr

📢📢📢 ZAPS ARE NOW POSSIBLE IN KANBANSTR!

Zapping a card is now possible enabling #value4value

Imagine all the use cases:

1. Zap the card when someone finishes a work. Literally moving from paper/fiat invoices to Lightning invoices. Gig economy, yaay!

2. Influence a developer to prioritize a backlog item by zapping on the card.

3. Ask the users to zap the card, so that the incentive can go directly to the doer of the work.

4. Fundraise for a particular business initiative using Kanban card pitches

5. Anything else?

Now, there MAY be a few bugs, please report them as soon as you encounter them.

For now, support is for WebLn and NWC.

Let me know what you think!

My Next Task: Go through all the suggestions people have already left in the NIP, DMs and Github and start working on them.

#nostr

I just (re)learned that NIP-26 for delegation is dead.

Is there any other way by which I can let another person edit an event that I created?

#asknostr

Today's updates on #kanbanstr

1. Now easy to find your own boards - Separate "My Boards" tab
2. Now you can see the creator's name on board
3. Bug fixes - Dark mode related

Create your own board at https://www.kanbanstr.com

Tell me what you want to see here :)

📢📢📢ANNOUNCING KANBANSTR - A NEW NOSTR CLIENT

❓What if we could power the Gig economy through #nostr?

❓What if we could use #nostr to track our work and also personal tasks?

❓What if we could #zap people for completing tasks instead of paying them monthly or weekly?

Introducing Kanbanstr - An opensource nostr client [BETA obviously]

You can do the following as of now:

☑️ Login using nsec, npub, NIP-07 - Done ☑️ Create Boards with multiple columns - Done ☑️ Create cards in boards - Done ☑️ Add/Delete/reorder columns in boards - Done ☑️ Markdown description in cards - Done ☑️ Cards automapped to columns using EXACT status = column name - Done ☑️ Cards assigned to people using 'zap' tags - Done (This is for people to get paid when the card is zapped)

What is yet to be done?

⌛ Programmatic - Yet to do ⌛ Zap a card - Yet to do ⌛ Anything that you want to implement

Code is available at https://github.com/vivganes/kanbanstr

This was done with the #NDK as a supporting framework (thanks,

)

You can play around with the app now at https://www.kanbanstr.com/

Beware of bugs though! You can report bugs to me or volunteer a PR too :)

BTW, I have also submitted a PR to NIP repository for the same - https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1665

Happy new year, folks! 🥳

INFLATION IN INDIA

Have you wondered why your personal experience does not align with the official figures published by the Government? Most people do.

It is because your spending patterns are different from the "weights" used in the official Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation.

Last weekend, my friend and I sat together to read the latest 2024 CPI report by the Indian government.

We built a cool opensource utility that will capture your personal inflation rate according to your spending patterns.

This can be accessed at https://kirankashyap.github.io/calculate-your-inflation-india/

Not that they care about my life. They think I would hog a spot buying just a coffee 😜
