Putting some finishing touches on Satori this week...just a simple, minimalist client, low resource usage, but full featured. Should theoretically run on MacOS and Windows but I have no way to test that might need some testers.

Cooked up a Bitchat-compatible Linux client and published to Orchard for shits and giggles. It's a very early build, but bluebooth mesh and nostr chat works great. It's called Backchat so give it a spin, or don't, idgaf :-D

Dope!

Very cool

i don't know why it was so hard to get bitchat to this simple level

so the tesla roadster has landing rockets? wild lol

Orchard v0.2.0 is out! Some highlights:

1. Zapstore apps (NIP-82) can now be installed right from Orchard (Linux only, Android apps are ignored)
2. Implemented application updates
3. Reworked relay sync and reconnect logic
4. Artifact cache is now self-healing so no stray data stays on your system

If you are on a v0.1.x version, please uninstall and install the new version. Future updates should be handled directly from inside Orchard.

we're buzzin' today (no pun intended)

boom

no thanks google

a wild Armada install appears...looks like i got npkg apps working

. there will be a couple things not yet implemented due to some differences between how npkg and orchard work (repo verification, digest verification, etc) but i'm sure i can tackle that soon.

Good morning, let's fuck this shit up!

hey

thanks for the open issue, I'll reply shortly, but I do have a surprise for you...Armada on Orchard soon (tomorrow?)

Just pushed Orchard v0.1.4 which now automatically fetches any missing dependencies so you can now install

without issue. Thank you

for being so quick to support Orchard (and surfacing an issue I had completely missed.

Additionally, Orchard will now read any flatpak sources directly from your system so you can use any third party sources like Flatpark, etc. Plus, a few UI and UX fixes to make the experience a little more pleasant.

thank you

for publishing to Orchard...looks like there's a couple bugs that prevent installation so working on getting those fixed right now.

added some subwidgets for tons of system insight...

my autism knows no bounds so i made my own system monitor to stick in my own distro :-D

imagine when people start using nostr lol

working on building rpm, deb, and pkg binaries for Orchard...looking to put those up for download this week.

Tonight I'm releasing the first version of Orchard, a permissionless Flatpak store for Linux. There is no middle man. I don't host anyone's binaries, nothing needs approval, and there are no rankings or algorithms.

For developers: ship from your own registry and sign a few Nostr events describing the app. A proof file in your repo makes the link verifiable. Check PUBLISHING.md for a walkthrough and sample CI workflow to make things dead simple (tag and push, that's it).

For users: it's a real flatpak store and has built-in Flathub support so there's already thousands of apps available. All apps published to Nostr have publisher, repository, and digest verification so you know you can trust the app is what it says it is. Sign in via nostrconnect (bunker next version), review your favorite apps, and see what folks in your web of trust have said.

going to publish the first app to Orchard tonight...if all goes well, public release follows

now that's good customer service.

are app configs editable? just spun up a nostr-rs-relay, but looking to edit accepted event kinds and a few other things.

Repo proofs...that's it, that's the note.

Tons of progress on Orchard, a permissionless app store (Flatpak to start, AppImage on the roadmap) for Linux using Nostr as the backend. The basics are all built, now finalizing the spec, web of trust for reviews, repo verification, etc.

Orchard hosts nothing, and will come with extensive dev documentation on how to set up CI workflows to publish your apps, hosted on your OCI registry (public or self-hosted). All events will be mirrored across multiple relays so there is never an issue with an app not being available.

0.1 will be out this week so feedback will be appreciate. Will announce a repo URL soon.

Testing! Permissionless publishing of Flatpak applications over Nostr...not ready for consumption, but so far so good. Spec based on Zapstore's with a few additions. Details soon.

minimal viable product...it's a debug build so disregard the resource usage

fuck it, we're building it...permissionless store for Flatpaks incoming

we need a ZapStore but for flatpaks and appimages.

quick kumaUI demo with tons of new file manager features...more stuff soon

Mortgage rates at 7.4%...have fun staying poor.

turns out that developing a terminal emulator might be the hardest part of this whole project...

working on Koguma...currently just a file manager, soon a little bit more :success:

OS down, desktop shell essentially down, so you can guess what other project i've been working on for myself and it's familiar but different :success:

Github Actions are down for everyone right now...it's probably my fault, i've been trying to get some new workflows working since yesterday :annoyed:

Back to using X21 as my nostr client until I get my server back up.
