pull down to refresh

obviously not a recommendation but it gets worse, there is mention of liquid in their Git

I'm not sure that a liquid<->ln bridge is worse than a spark<->ln bridge, for now. I'd probably rank spark risk higher than liquid.

What I'd like to see in the future is apps like these using CLINK

Dev ecosystem needs to grow for that... an SDK that can be called through ffi (Rust?) from flutter/kotlin would help to get better exposure to app builders. Can be done without burdening Justin & co too.

ClinkSDK mostly wraps nostr-tools, just a few added methods... haven't looked into what the rustbois or kotlin people use for that but I'd imagine if you pull both into a workspace composer could one-shot it

If I only had the time and skills

Writing a Rust SDK for financial infrastructure is probably not the right place to start. It would be like being thrown off the deep end of the Mariana Trough, chained to a couple of industrial sized mega grindstones, and with a transmitter to your heart that, if it stops beating, makes nukes go off.

Learning code probably still starts with Python nowadays. You know what? Instead of using existing golang tooling, I'll write the code that would help with ~Music performance measuring in Python instead. That functionality has some nice elements, like some data manipulation and aggregation, interfacing with external APIs and reporting that can serve as a support for the learning curve.

I know python haha but can’t do anything with it

That's odd for a language that you can literally do anything in lol

Wow and here I am trying to learn swift

Doesn't hurt to know things! In terms of time well spent, it may be more useful to just use a framework that bridges from another language, so that you don't have to learn OS-specific languages and frameworks. After all, do you really want to be locked in to Apple?

So like a 'Nostr Tools' command line interface, a 'CLINK Tools' would be cool?

Hmm no. Like all the *DK packages that you can include into your app and just integrate high level calls. Justin & co have released an SDK in typescript, which is great for web and React based apps (like Zeus). But for pure Kotlin / Flutter apps, the current common preference is to use Rust libraries.
