Love you brother! Best of luck with the new venture! Hit me up if I can help with anything 🧡

Let's go that's awesome to hear! Let me know if I can help you with any questions or bugs during the process!

Everyone is different but from my experience protocol development topics have become easier after learning app development first. It's a great way to get your journey started with a lot of cool potential projects out there to build on Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr.

I think a native stacker news app is a great idea! If you get stuck with understanding the existing fork you're starting with I would suggest building it from scratch yourself and starting with a basic API integration to just pull in all of the items and make it work read only at first. Not sure what languages you're familiar with but going the Javascript -> React -> React Native route is probably the easiest for making Native apps (in my opinion) but PWA's are awesome as well!

Did you have an issue logging in with nostr?

Ok yeah there have been issues rendering videos from my CDN on Firefox, trying to work on a fix but it seems to be from the browser?

No, they are non-fungible. Just a means of proving that you accomplished a development milestone.

What browser are you using?

What browser is this?

Thanks! Can you send me error or screenshot?

Totally, I think that makes a lot of sense. I also think Nifty / Base58's material is amazing when it comes to Bitcoin / Lightning protocol.

I want to cover protocol stuff as much as it makes sense but at the same time I'm really trying to focus on building ON bitcoin/lightning/nostr/etc (app dev) vs protocol dev since it seems that protocol dev is covered a lot more in dev education around bitcoin. ALSO I personally like app dev a bit more and I think it is a great place to start for beginners (even if they are inclined to move onto protocol dev)

I remember in 2021 when I first saw stackernews I was thinking to myself "Where do you go learn how to build something like this at the intersection of Bitcoin/Lightning and apps?" THIS is what I hope to address and lay out a clear journey for with plebdevs!

Nope, just basic web dev mostly, IDE/Git/Github/HTML/CSS/JS

What is it protocol related that you would be interested in?

Awesome! Reach out if I can help at any point

Probably not unless you need to brush up on basic webdev skills. Honestly our free content is some of the best for intermediate/senior level

You probably know most of the info in the course already but hey it's free!

Great progress! I like the UI def keep it simple at first and just build out these features and make them resilient and then it will be easy to make a super slick UI. Keep us updated!

Free plebdevs starter course is coming in a few weeks! Also a majority of the content on the platform is free (with more free content on the way).

I'm a pleb with a day job! I need to make plebdevs sustainable to keep it going, growing, and improving in the longterm. You don't have to pay (or even log in) to get value from a majority of the content.

Also both courses have free versions on Github (just without videos): https://github.com/pleb-devs/plebdev-course-1 https://github.com/pleb-devs/plebdevs-course-2

Trying my best to balance accessibility and sustainability 🫡

Fashionably long ✨
