Nostr Web Client

The bluesky account jack@jglypt.net states that Nostr requires some sort of centralization because all users would need to have at least one relay in common so they can see all other posts on the network.

You tell us this is wrong, because "we have the Outbox model".

I disagree. Because the Outbox only guarantees that you are able to find all notes related to some note you already see. There can be notes on relays, you are not connected with and you will never see.

Especially if you are searching for something, e.g. using tags.

I actually read "all other post on the network" related to a specific user, not with a general meaning. Yes, it's not possible to automatically search/access any note, since there is no really a "global" feed. You have to query specific relays.

I don't see any problem with that, it's like the internet has worked since his inception. It is the centralized services that have accustomed us to this mode in recent times, at the expense of course of everything else, so Nostr exists.

Probably there will born search relays (NIP-50) that will offer this service, trying to aggregate/index as much relays as possibile. Ehi nostr:npub1xsgymm0ne3vndqpvsvy285qfpu59049t5n5twg9vetmt92cyn95snyzazx, are you listening? :)

Good point, but I would still like to have a search for Nostr that lets me find things from people I don't know yet.

Otherwise it feels like the old mailbox systems, but even fidonet had (still has?) a backbone.

The potential to do all sorts of analytics on 'notes and other stuff' and the socialgraphs out there is huge. I hope nostr:nprofile1qqsrgyzdaheuckfksqkgxz9r6qys72zh6j46f69hyzkv4a4j4vzfj6gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtc4vpd0l agrees with that and becomes Nostr's Google.

If this Nostr thing indeed pops off, i want to be able to buy bespoke socialgraphs and what not.
