zaps forwarded to @Natalia (50%)

thanks to @Natalia, I had the idea to just post the link to my hosted version of SN where I implement new features here.

you can share your invoices and feedback here!

site loads slow since it uses a development build. please read the post description in the link.

no guarantees how long this will stay up!

Might be worth posting again here to ignore the errors 😁

Awesome to see this so close already!

My only feedback would be to make those upload & markdown icons larger and more spaced… as the tappable area with 2 buttons there (particularly on mobile) is reduced.

ah yes, makes sense!

copied from the linked post:

this site runs SN in a development build, not release build. so expect things to be slower. also, errors that would only log to your console will pop up in your face. you can just close them and the site should continue to run just fine. i might be able to run the release build but we have some dependencies to the production infrastructure so it wasn't trivial. will look into this as well as the invoice issue.

My only feedback would be to make those upload & markdown icons larger and more spaced… as the tappable area with 2 buttons there (particularly on mobile) is reduced.

ah, yes, noticed that too but i don't test on mobile so often as on desktop so I forgot. will look into that :)

damn, invoice expired:

that was an anon invoice, right? they expire in 10 minutes. deposit invoices expire in 1 hour.

i'll be here for the next 20min. you can send another anon invoice or a deposit invoice :)

I can also help, now that I got the @ekzyis printed sats 😂

ah yes, haha

i might set up a quick bot which fetches new comments from this post every minute and then automatically tries to pay any new invoice it found (with a sat limit per user)

100 sats \ 6 replies \ @Natalia fwd 27 Oct 2023

wow, will you share how to do it? I want to create my own bot army too 🤖🤖🤖

121 sats \ 5 replies \ @ek OP 27 Oct 2023

Can do!

210 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek OP 27 Oct 2023

Mhh, won't be able to do it today. In a full train rn and didn't have enough time before I had to catch it. The library I wrote for @hn doesn't support fetching individual items yet.

Maybe I'll be able to do this later today.

But there aren't many invoice pay requests anyway, so maybe you can indeed handle them by pasting their invoices into withdraw or using their LN address :) (jist replace stacker.news with sn.ekyzis.com)

Thanks for the offer and for testing!

sure, no rush! and fun fact: I browsed some SN history last night, and it turned out many posts in the tech section are either VPN, de-google or privacy-related, yet we are on a site full of devs, unbelievable 😳

and it's my pleasure to help!

I used to love playing with zapier, I'm surprised that not many bot tools exist in the LN world? or maybe I didn't try too hard to find them.

now I finally get to see how it feels being forward zaps! and yes I can't even zap the post 👀

and the site is loading quite slow 🐢

1 sat \ 19 replies \ @ek OP 27 Oct 2023

the site is loading quite slow

yes it does, i am actually not sure why. it uses a ssh reverse tunnel to my local machine and the development build, lol. so not sure what has the most impact on performance.

fun fact, using Tor for it is way faster!

1 sat \ 17 replies \ @ek OP 27 Oct 2023

wait, what, haha

it doesn't run on tor so you're essentially going through tor and then access the site on clearnet so it literally does more than visiting the site directly from clearnet to clearnet. so that's ... interesting, lol

yeah, so weird, I couldn't even load the site in Firefox, and done the test! quite nice.

why not? was there an error? if you landed on the site but an error showed up, you can just close it.

and done the test!

which test? waiting for your invoice 👀 but you might be able to login and just post as a freebie

It just kept loading somehow.

and here is the second test:
