- API keys
- purchase archived territories
- any archived territories are available for purchase by creating a territory with the same name
- boost minimum is 50k sats
- it used to be 25k sats but as more people participate in zapping, small boost amounts become footguns
- opt-in disable creating referral links on
copy linkfrom your settings - lots of bug fixes

Q4 recap and Q1 roadmap: #381208
I want to applaud your update to the dev README! I also want to say fuck docker! but I'm up and running, hopefully I can take a crack at this issue I saw the other day
I've learned to appreciate docker. It's gotten a lot better just over the last few years.
It can be a headache, but without it it'd be impossible to create a portable development environment.
I get it, my local docker env was just totally borked and I had to completely purge and reinstall, it doesn't help my computer is geriatric and reaches 100% CPU usage spinning up sn :(
You can try a more minimal setup with
$ COMPOSE_PROFILES=minimal ./sndev starti have lots of ~stocks content to deploy if anyone wants to revive the territory and take a crack at it 🫡
~news might also be worth reviving
I miss ~culture
It’s back, baby
Was one of the best performing for sats, comments & all-round interaction before it was archived
let’s gooooo
Awesome!
another great one
I second this! News was a solid catch-all of this that were not exactly suited for the Bitcoin or Crypto territories.
I was thinking about this as well. We should crowdfund. After MSM ends. Haha
SN nowadays is like a ship-shipping-ship...

What's the motivation behind requiring that one ask permission to generate API keys?
Good question!
The motivation behind it is to get our feet wet with people building on top of our API. It was already possible if you knew how[1] but not many people used it because it was too annoying (as one @anon kept pointing out) or not obvious that it was possible (?).
Now with this official API key support, more people might be interested in building bots like @hn or @nitter but we don't want to drown in support requests or deal with API abuse (too many expensive requests etc).
This formal API key request is intended to act as a rate limiter: With it, we know who wants to do what and can be more prepared for what's to come. It also limits the access to people who can come up with ideas that make sense from our perspective. So less "opportunistic abusers".
Also keep in mind that there are no guarantees that the API is stable. That's also a reason to limit it since else people might see this as a lot more stable than it really is, build on it without our knowledge and then get disappointed if their code breaks because we changed something on our side.
With this request, we can also establish a direct communication channel for such things or feedback and support.
If you use ~meta to request API access, others can also chime in on the ideas. But you don't have to use ~meta, you can also reach out to us privately via email, Telegram or SimpleX as mentioned in the info message:

Exactly! haha
Sometimes, things are more effective than they should be :)
You love to see it. I need to get my territories article out, before someone builds cool dashboards using the API. Note to self: do it, already
you guys keep changing the min boost, feels like it should be a market rate eventually
True! This is just easier until it isn't.
Wow: new update means I don't have to sneak peaks of where I am at on the leaderboard anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about this. There was a certain thrill in the uncertainty and a bit of (brief) exhibitionism in the checking...
Forgot about that one! Sometimes we want what we don't want.
Yup it’s fun to look at it from multiple angles and try new approaches. Very fun and very agile!
Any thoughts to adding scheduled posting? Undisciplined and I were talking earlier today and we agree that some of the folks not in the North American time zones don't get as much visibility on their posts. Being able to schedule a post for a different time might be helpful to them.
A couple issues I could see with this. Most engagement on posts happens in the first few hours so the posts still might not do as well because they aren't around to engage with early zappers and commenters. And it probably isn't best for SN for all content to move to a 12 hour north american time zone span.
Maybe a cost associated to scheduled posting would help mitigate too much traffic moving to peak hours.
We have a ticket for it so it's planned. I think we'll ship without any associated fees and go from there.
Will you teach me to create my own bot if I request API access? Not like you have anything else going on.
Haha. Just kidding. You guys are working very hard and we all appreciate it.
Maybe I'll create a post lol
Another post that I promised @Natalia but then never delivered... so far 👀
so much that I already lost counted. 👀
Looks like I borked images. Fix is being deployed. Thanks to @dk for the heads up.
@k00b @ek I've emailed a request for API access, have you receive it?
Just responded! Sorry for the delay. To do what you want, you don't need authenticated API access. You can read from our API without an API key!
The purchasing of archived territories is a great feature.
woooohooo! and it works:)
done
Glad yall made this one opt-in, auto referral links are so handy. 🤙
The fun is all gone. I can't hide it from myself, can I?

128 ? :)
Love it, more keys 🔑
I wonder how would that pan out if SN motivates stackers for owning any archived territory for lower price, at least for the first month.
Aww yes, API keys! 🎉
