2025-01-17 07:19:06With Swiper (https://swiperjs.com/) I'm building a presentation with slides to be displayed at the #FOSDEM Nostr booth. Each slide will contain a short text / payoff saying something about Nostr. The goal is that visitors can watch these slides and get a first impression what Nostr is. WOuld love to hear your thoughts on this! At this moment, I've included a lot of slides with these contents / texts: It's a protocol, not a platform Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays Foster freedom and social cohesion A libre protocol for communication using WebSockets Key signed events with data (JSON), broadcasted between clients and relays Not a crypto, blockchain or web3 project A grassroots project started in november 2019 by Fiatjaf https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html Easy to implement, simplicity is key You are free to build anything, but also embrace the chaos ;-) The database for your local-first application Rich development ecosystem with many libraries and SDKs It's serving the freedom of choice Not perfect and it will never be Worse is better (Richard P. Gabriel 1989) Stop studying protocols, just start building A movement endorsing digital autonomy Use and build social media for friends, not for billionaires The protocol is the API, the API is on the protocol level Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden loves it #freedomtech A local-first internet identity The most open network with digital signed and verifiable data You can find all the slides here: https://nostrver.se/fosdem2025/index.html This is how it currently looks, work in progress https://shares.sebastix.dev/07HAWqU2.png https://shares.sebastix.dev/zUdqclCi.png https://shares.sebastix.dev/yEhKn5DA.png https://shares.sebastix.dev/jvAYEioS.png https://shares.sebastix.dev/yxSJojM3.png Repo with the code: https://github.com/nostrver-se/fosdem2025
