If you're tired of the rug pulls by Big Tech™, there's Nostr to replace everything from Twitch to Patreon and even Spotify. Monetization baked in with no moving goal posts to navigate (lookin' at you, YouTube). Owning your data. No deplatforming. Get started: nostr-creators.shakespeare.wtf

The #IndieMusic roadshow hits Bitcoin Park in Nashville this weekend. Songwriter rounds with Ainsley Costello & Joe Martin. (So NOT a V4V show). Free event. ✅ Indie music ✅ Indie film ✅ Indie art ✅ decentralized social media ✅ decentralized AI Empenada food truck 3-6 pm. Music 6-9 pm.

We took the traveling #V4V #Indiemusic show to State College, PA, over the weekend!

What if you could be a part of change?

Here's a simple how-to-zap on @wavlake guide. I'm inspired by seeing new musicians joining Nostr and promoting their songs there. Wavlake is free to use and the idea is that you zap an artist however much you want when you like a song. But it's so much more than *just that* 👇

We've got another live building session coming up Monday on Hivetalk! In these jam sessions, we share what we've built with Shakespeare & MKStack. You're welcome if you're totally new to AI-assisted building and you don't need to know how to code. (Some people are devs, too).

The Soapbox Sessions podcast is here! 🎉 Get it wherever you get your podcasts. We talk about decentralizing AI + Nostr. Together. youtu.be/c_LxrSyMpSI

3 tips for grasping basic "vibe coding" to help you get started: • Don't overthink it. • Ignore popular "advice." • Make the robot work. This may run counterintuitive to what you think, but...

It has never been easier to make an app. If you're vibe coding, you are among 25% of AI consumers. Most of these are developers, but what about non-developers or "citizen developers?" These folks are making: • Simple websites • Apps • Games Even ecommerce sites! Here's how:

I vibe coded a few cool things, but this one sticks in my mind and I think I'll keep going with it soon. npub1tsrwptrzdf3q6m0p4r7epsk259qz93txceppw5zu2yy5pjxwglesq83gqu.shakespeare.to

Thank you, @sarahp.bsky.social, for covering what #AOS is doing and giving #ShakespeareDIY by Soapbox a mention! We're pretty excited about decentralizing AI. 🎉 (and the rest of the 'net, too). Congrats, @rabble.nz, on Revolution.Social! 🔊 techcrunch.com/2025/07/16/j...

This is one of my favorite things made with #ShakespeareDIY so far, by BitPopArt! He made an eCard app—all with conversational AI. npub14ejejtz4afxep3608dem92zljj8w30nllxgekqrtgawpqne6xp7ss2ze24.shakespeare.to/cards

In the last week, I've: 🟧 Relaunched the Upendo/Rigly website 🏃‍♀️ Launched RUNSTR Season 1 🎭 Launched #ShakespeareDIY by Soapbox ALL of this is #Nostr. Yes, we're having more fun over there. 🫡 #FOSS

🎭 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.

I just vibe coded my first game tonight using Shakespeare, our new AI-powered builder for Nostr, by Soapbox Technology. lnkd.in/gDhPNZhv Learn more and join the waitlist: lnkd.in/gkxhbGY2

I'm excited to be a part of this event for women in Bitcoin, coming up in August. Two-week hackathon? Yes, please! evento.so/p/evt_jGEu75...

You don't have to be censored online when Nostr exists. Information should never be censored during war. One of the many use cases for Nostr is to fight censorship and keep speech free.

I promise I have more to say about #v4v music, it's just that we're all feverishly getting ready for the Bitcoin Conference in Vegas... More info to come on how you can watch us live from Vegas next week!

We’ve come a long way since we did the Radio Detox EXLESS special edition! Today, Ainsley Costello’s EXLESS is out in the world! You can finally hear the entire album now! Hear the stories behind it (which we recorded last summer) here: www.fountain.fm/show/FKbROZs... #EXLESS

✨ NEW BLOG: Finding Joy Through Breath and Movement ✨ Yoga is a journey, not a destination. Through mindful breath and movement, we explore the balance between challenge and joy. www.destinyarchitecture.net/finding-joy-...

Just shared my reflections from Monday's #Yogastr session where we explored asteya (non-stealing) through movement and breath.

When tariffs hit #Bitcoin mining, it's not JUST a USA 🇺🇸 problem. It's an all of us problem. ⛏️ blocksbridge.substack.com/p/bitcoin-mi...

Share your best meme please. For my vibe hack project 🙏

A built-in way to write long-form here would be nice. Hitting the + to add more like Twitter threads is very 2021. js.

#Nostr is the decentralized future (not this here thing, sorry). My publishing pipeline will be Substack ⏩ LinkedIn for this ⬇️ heatherlarson.substack.com/p/the-decent...

What if you could get a record deal from being on #Nostr? You can't. But by the time this is possible, you won't want—or need—one. open.substack.com/pub/heatherl...

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...

Monday nights are the night for #yogastr on the #Nostr app HiveTalk! 🧘 Nostr = Notes & Other Stuff Over Relays, so Yogastr is that “other stuff” happening over relays. You can find me on your Nostr app of choice as @heatherlarson aka MAKE SONGS LONGER.

Seriously. Love you ladies 💕

I had to text my 22 y.o. niece to ask what @ainsleycostello.bsky.social & Kathryn meant when they called me "MOTHER" on The Snap Podcast 🤭 So how's your day going? (Thanks for calling me "a boss," ladies) #v4v #Bitcoin #music #independentmusic #pod20 www.fountain.fm/episode/TMSq...

There is already an “everything app” and it’s not even an app. It’s just #nostr

Best Aldi Find of all time, rated 5 stars ⭐️ by this discerning queen. Shall I tell her it only cost me $6.99 or will that get me in trouble?

Ever feel like something is missing on here? 🤔 www.sportspro.com/news/nfl-new....

Ainsley Costello just released my favorite song from EXLESS, “You Problem.” Let’s go back to last summer before the EXLESS songs began trickling out and we recorded the first episode of my podcast about #v4v music Hear the 1st episode of Radio Detox on Fountain. www.fountain.fm/episode/vqol...

Trying to add someone to my yoga starter pack… oddly complicated. Not happening. 😢 Anyone know how to add someone to a starter pack you already created?

Are you ok with this as a creator? What if you don’t make more than $25 for a long time? What if you do but can’t wait until the 1st of the month to get paid? Who handles the payments? Who’s holding the creators’ money? Who holds the creators’ money when it’s <$25?

Ainsley Costello has now released what is, IMHO, the very best song of EXLESS and her best song yet. Listen on @wavlake.bsky.social wavlake.com/track/29e8e1... #music #independentmusic
