🔥 Big Pubky stack update just released

• Light Mode
• Personal websites
• Sign in with Apple
• Locked-post filters
• Notifications synced across devices
• More reliable Locks and file handling

Details and more... 🧵

2/ Pubky App now has Light, Dark and Auto modes under Settings → Appearance. Dark remains the default, while Auto follows your system.

Home and tag search can filter for posts with locked content, and pasting any pubky format into a post turns it into a mention.

The Unlock button can now be dragged to start payment. Read notifications sync across signed-in devices, and clicking a Locks or Payments QR copies its link.

This release also fixes stuck Lock Server calls, interrupted downloads, failed publishing and several sign-in issues.

3/ Nexus can return feeds containing only posts with locks and let apps request one notification type at a time.

Notifications received while a post is still saving are delivered afterward, once. Moderator takedowns also remain in place if Nexus encounters the original content again.

Homeservers can now host personal websites from a user’s public files, including a homepage and custom 404.

The site moves with the user when they change Homeserver. Operators can disable the feature.

Satoshi made money peer to peer. Markets still aren't.

To have a real market, people need to gather in one place. And the moment they do, they become easy to censor.

Who decides what you're allowed to find?

On most marketplaces, whoever runs the search. And whoever runs the search answers to the law.

Pubky Market is fixing that: indexes you can host yourself, so nobody controls what gets found. Not even us 🔥

How close are we to free markets?

"Very, very close."

You can already publish, find buyers and get paid, peer to peer. The last step is you.

"We really need your support to try these things."

Try Pubky and Bitkit, and tell your favorite builders about Paykit.

Ok, so last week at Plan ₿ Lugano we launched Paykit, Pubky Locks and Pubky Market (among some other things)

But what if we decide to ban you? ❌

Doesn't matter. Your identity is your key, not an account on our server. ✅

Point it to another server, or host your own, and your content and shop come with you.

Open protocol. Nobody owns it, us included.u.
