Rewrote some WebSocket code this week and it seems to have made a dramatic improvement not just for Nostr (which uses it) but general stability with hung Sidekiq processes. Reviewing Nostr, I still find it an elegant protocol. Just not sure how it fits in the modern social web.

@manton Well thanks to you and Micro.blog I found Nostr and started using it. Easiest to setup for yourself and maintain and in my opinion the most like Twitter. I see a lot of potential in that platform. So thanks Manton.

@manton I know people who are big fans of NOSTR.

@manton BTW I love websockets. I think they’re the future of everything. ;-)

@manton – i’m glad you saw that – thinking about ways to go the other way, allowing someone at the end of a socket to subscribe to a list that’s temporary, disappears when they disconnect.

i got it from looking at the NOSTR api, which is going down a similar track.

i think i got clued in to NOSTR by you iirc. ;-)

@manton – also thinking about how NNW and similar products can get on the realtime RSS flow. it’s a perfectly reasonable client for a social network, the only thing missing is easy far-reaching realtimeness.

@manton – yes the link came from you, it’s at the top of the page here. ;-)
