This is a great idea! You should also weave the previews throughout the show itself if you plan to have any breaks or changeovers. Flood the place with clips 100%. One thing that is highly underrated is writing about the show in a blog or Nostr long form, then writing an article (or having someone backlink) about the article on a (or many) normie blogs.

Be sure to embed trailer in blogs, with next video as the full feature. 😉

4. Orchard - v0.3.0

Orchard is a permissionless Flatpak app store that combines Flatpak distribution with Nostr’s trust model, allowing publishers to distribute apps directly without a central review gate. This version adds compatibility with NIP-82 software releases and prepares Flatpak assets for publication through ngit and other NIP-82-compatible tools.

No Exploration Tools Updates and Releases for last week.

Nostr is built by plebs, for the plebs. If you found this Nostr recap helpful, consider supporting me, Nomishka, with a zap.

I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this Ninety-ninth Nostr Recap & share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #NostrRecap and let’s keep #GrowNostr together.

Thank you Jurjen de Vries (npub1l77…swft) for this amazing idea!

A big shoutout to rabble (npub1wmr…g240) for your generous patronage for my Nostr Recaps!

Thank you, my younger brother samalka (npub1nu5…hjyn) for helping me with the content and graphic stuff for my Nostr Recaps!

This one is personal. From amplifying African voices through What’s Haute with Halima to joining the conversation on one of the UK’s biggest Bitcoin stages, it’s exciting to see how far this journey is taking me.

Bitcoin is more than technology. It’s about people, freedom and the future we’re building together.

If you’re coming to BitFest, let’s connect. See you there!

Yeeeesss 🔥🎶👏 Sounds great New Music Nudge Unit (nprofile…5due) ! Maybe it’s worth publishing a tiny snippet/short clip beforehand? it’d give everyone a taste of what’s to come and encourage them to ask questions or leave comments that latee could be addressed during the stream. And if the protagonists/guys can’t make it to the live session, they could record a 1–2 minute clip each --- you could then weave these into the main event --- talking about what this performance means to them, for example. Even if they join the can just be in the chat taking to people on the spot, answering extra questions etc. This would also enhance the experience and differentiate it from YT & Insta. I guess you would use those short clips as standalond Shorts and Reels, separate from the full-length piece. And actually, you could post them in advance there, letting people know that an exclusive live stream is coming up on V4V.
