Seth left the dead bird for Nostr in Feb 2023. Same time I did. Instead of doom scrolling, he built @zap_cooking—a social network for foodies on Nostr. We talked about why he made the switch and what he's building. Listen on @fountain_app: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

"It's a peer-to-peer network, and people are sharing with other plebs, and it's a beautiful thing." Seth built @zap_cooking because he wanted a place to share recipes without the clutter. No ads. No Christmas tales before the ingredient list. On Radio Detox: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

We talked about: - Leaving Twitter for Nostr - Building without VC money - Why simple wins - The famous "Bevo's Wooster and Chips" 🎙️Listen on @fountain_app: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

Listen to Radio Detox on @fountain_app with Seth from Zap.Cooking. What started as "Nostr dot anything was available" became a community staple. @zap_cooking strips away the blog fluff and gives you recipes—that's it.

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

What if a recipe site just... gave you the recipe? No life story. No ads. No scroll of doom. That's @zap_cooking I talked to Seth about building it on Nostr and why peer-to-peer recipe sharing just works. Listen on Fountain: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

Vibe coding is supposed to be easy. So why does everyone complicate it?

Screenshot essay titled 'Template #4: Myths' discussing the misconceptions around vibe coding. It emphasizes that vibe coding is unnecessarily complicated, driven by fears of making mistakes and the constraints of apps like Replit that charge for prompts. The essay argues that this pressure leads to overthinking and discourages creativity. It offers advice for users, regardless of technical skill, highlighting the importance of building at your skill level, the value of design, the necessity of follow-up prompts, and the reality of debugging AI coding. The final message encourages users to enjoy the creative process without the stress of scarcity.

For the longest time I've wondered why I see new vibe coders pull together no fewer than half a dozen tools in order to create ONE vibe coding prompt. This. This is why.

Suuuurrrrrrre it's private 🤣 And if you buy that, I've got ocean front property here in Arizona to sell you, too. Nostr never asks your DOB.

P.S. I am zapping the best roasts! ⚡️ Follow @SoapboxTech to learn more about how we're decentralizing the web with open source software to give everyone (not just a few) more freedom.

We're having a lot of fun today roasting Derek, the *unofficial* "Nostr CEO!" If you'd like to join in, please do! Nostr folks don't hold back, since we're uncensored and all 😉 👉 roast-derek.shakespeare.wtf #VibeCoding

One of my fave roasts comes from one of our intrepid devs, Chad!

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

My app shows off the #RoastDerek posts and also aggregates the combo of "Derek Ross" and "Happy Birthday" so we can roast-scroll through it. I alerted some of his besties late last night so he'd wake up to roasts! 🔥

Nost is more than a "social network." Today, I'm using Nostr for shenanigans: I'm roasting my Soapbox Sessions podcast partner Derek Ross! I'm using an app I quickly vibe coded with Shakespeare by @SoapboxTech 👇

Made a Cashu wallet with a one-word prompt: 1. Log into Shakespeare by Soapbox 2. Choose Claude Opus 4.5 3. Type "Cashu." Boom! 💥

Likes and follows are so web 2.0 and 20 years ago. It's tough to amass a following on legacy social media platforms without paying a monthly fee. But on Nostr, you get monetary feedback as you build community. Zaplytics lets me see who my most loyal supporters are, like my friend Sam! 🤘

100

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

TL;DR: There are zaps that tell me: • Folks like The Format • I should run a marathon • I should build a cat shelter I can even see that 7:00 pm is "rush hour" on Nostr according to my zaps. So that's a great time to post.

100

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

My top content is shouting out my friend Sam, for his band, The Format, releasing the single "Shot in the Dark," crowdsourcing my decision to run a marathon (maybe), and crowdsourcing whether I should build a cat shelter.

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Considering I pay $8.72/mo for X Premium just for my content to be SEEN, isn't it nice to earn (what is today, with bitcoin down) $7.04 for the stuff I post? I'm not even trying. I just post what I want.

100

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

How much can you earn on Nostr? For that, we go to Zaplytics! It lets you measure your Nostr success in sats. Nostr is post-Internet slime; we don't care about likes & follows there. Be free.

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I get it. I really do. You've built an audience here on Bitcoin Twitter (or whatever YOUR particular Twitter is). You don't want to start over and learn another algo...

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

This just cracks the surface...there are many more. Nostr for content creators to get you started: nostr-creators.shakespeare.wtf

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Video creators, there's Zap.Stream for streaming live and Hivetalk for those of us who teach live classes. (It's like Zoom but open source). 🐝 FanFares lets you post gated content people can zap with Bitcoin lightning payments in order to access.

Some Nostr apps for #IndieMusic that let you pay artists P2P in BTC: • @wavlake • @fountain_app • @tunestr21 • ZapTrax, built by @GrowNostrOrg (pictured)

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Nostr apps for writers that are good for long-form writing: • Yakihonne (free, comes w/a wallet) • @primal_app (start for free, paid option available) • Habla.news • @stacker_news And more, like Longform by Bullish Bitcoiner (BETA)

For a real site, I'd add real photos, integrate payments, events, and more. This site you see was built for just $10.66 and took mere minutes to create. It's built on Nostr, meaning instant deployment without platform lock-in. No upsells in order to deploy!

100

Heather Larson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER @heatherlarson.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

See how it adds stock photos and other "mock" features? Then it's up to me to tweak it based on real information.

We're tired of the b.s. in AI and we know you are too. Shakespeare helps you build without platform lock-in, losing your data, or signing over your data to Some Big Company™.

We'll also release a tutorial video to help you learn how to prompt our AI-powered website builder for Nostr while staying on budget. 💪

🎭 You can use Shakespeare for free with Gemini Flash Playground, or use it with MKStack, which uses Claude Sonnet 4. No need to get caught up in the Cursor $60/mo subscription debacle. Be free! That's why we built it this way. It's FOSS.

Yeah, it's exhausting. But #music artists still kinda need to promote across all verticals. #nostr and then some... Nostr has built-in payment rails. I can zap you when I like your song. Also possible on @wavlake.com Latest Radio Detox ⬇️ www.fountain.fm/episode/rWz5...
