I think I joined around February 12, in the same month after getting initial knowledge about Lightning, I started my first node around February 20. From then on, I started looking for the ways to contribute to the Nostr community and reached-out to nostr.build to help with the run-away costs of bandwidth. The rest as they say, is history. In 2023 the following major changes happened to the nostr.build (only listing contributions that I made): - Complete re-architecture of the service, going from single to a multi-server setup - Rewrote the internal code more than once - Migrated from local storage (HDD) to the object storage - Created a dedicated API for uploads from the clients, and onboarded multiple clients onto it - Added support for NIP-98 (contributed code to Damus to allow for authenticated uploads) - Added support for NIP-96 - Added multiple ways to login (NIP-98, NIP-07,NIP-04 [DMs]) - Added optimization of the images, gifs and videos (only minimal repackaging for videos) - Open-sourced the code (rewrote so that all of the non-public info is not in the code) - Added support for multi-file uploads with folder support - Added support for URL upload for accounts - Rewrote and redesigned image view gallery - Redesigned sign-up and onboarding experience - Added support for on-the-fly image resizing - Added CDN, migrated to another CDN, added hot media object storage on the CDN - Fixed countless security and availability risks and issues - Countless quality-of-life improvements to the media uploads, serving, managing, etc. - Added more than 100K lines of code (20K of my own and 80K of libs) and removed about 10K-20K of legacy lines of code - Redesigned DB access layer and SQL queries more than once, trying to keep with the load - Reduced number of SQL queries by 90%, making access more efficient and fast - Reduced running costs by 95%, which directly translates to the savings of the users and viability of the service long-term. - And many other things that I just do not recall or were not impactful enough for me to remember. Since we have such a good base now, I am sure my contributions to the nostr media ecosystem will be 2-3 times bigger. Onwards and forward! 🐶🐾🫡🫂 nostr:note1u47936hr7p2rhzpexrf4ejmg78whzqs9r9zdzj9e40qh7p4m2p3s9gdvwa
