More fiddling around with more-speech. I got the `nostr:` stuff working along with `@` and all the other ways we thought to do references. Lots of regular expression shenannigans. I also found a ⚡ character that works. Apparently there's more than one... And I'm dynamically querying the relays for missing profiles and events if they aren't in my database.
So... A good day's fiddling.
And I also got my haircut. ;-)
