I’ve been feeling nostalgic to recreate some versions that I felt got stolen. Technology, art , music have often been that. While the trick worked, the longing is always freedom: to feel, create, exist
Here’s a page from the depths 🩻
@mujojojayar@hack4_freedom@DadaDevs@evento_so@btrustteam@GraciaMugoiri Resilience is truly one of masterpieces & a story of giant slain. Most often GBV survivors are over looked and the tools meant to help them cause more harm by leaking their privacy proving untrustworthy. I'm glad with NOSTR we built privacy-first support platform for survivors
This was truly one of the most packed hackathons I’ve ever been a part of, learnt so much, interacted with brilliance, got to meet OG mentors in the space (*wink @tando_me@btrustteam@hack4_freedom ) built with #NOSTR (soo many NIPS)
Just lovely 😊
And just like that, The @hack4_freedom Hackathon Nairobi came to an end! 🇰🇪
After two weeks of learning, technical sessions, virtual bootcamp sessions, collaboration and building, the participants finally got to put everything into practice during the Hackathon.
Demo Day was a celebration of the ideas they developed, the problems they explored, and the solutions they built together.
And we’re especially proud to celebrate our Dadas who showed up, built, collaborated and made their mark. 🧡

@tando_me@btrustteam@hack4_freedom right? its becoming more and more important if products are claiming they'll keep your details private, their tech has to back it up
Congrats to two of our fav African Queens!

And there was an extra win for the Anza team, who received an additional $500 prize from Dada Devs CEO, @marcelorraine .
We also want to give a special shout-out to @NNakhero , who was recognised by other participants for her incredible support and encouragement of the Dadas throughout the hackathon. 🧡
From the first session to the final pitch, these women showed what happens when you give developers the space to learn, experiment, collaborate and build.
Hack4Freedom Nairobi may be over, but the building continues. ⚡️
Congratulations to all our Dadas! You did that. 🧡

@tando_me@btrustteam@hack4_freedom We used NIP-1, 5, 6, 17, 40, 42, 44, 47, 51, 59, 98 and custom conventions for org verification, counselor rosters, operational key rotation, support-group membership, and signed client config. Not a formal NIP yet, but I’d love to turn the useful pieces into an Open Spec
