Nostr Web Client

So, the core concept is simple. I put an object on a server somewhere, and I want other people to know that it's legitimate. Using this NIP, I create an event that identifies that object, tells others where to find it, and attests to it with my Nostr identity, all at once.

Beyond just Git, this NIP can form the basis of SharePoint or Google Drive services, software release verification, authentication of images, and many other use cases besides. The only limit is imagination.

My dream would to be able to ⭐ people's software releases. I'm always getting asked which software I recommend in which version and I'd like to have a list of everything I'd favorited or rated or whatever.

And I'd like to be able to see the ratings my favorite developers, testers, and power users have given. Then I could see what they'd ⭐, check it out and maybe add my own star.

2 ⭐ confirmations

45 ⭐ confirmations

147 ⭐ confirmations

Now, show me the most-⭐ repos in category "budgeting" or "Bitcoin memes". Show me the trending repos (those most actively receiving stars). Etc.

I think it's quite revolutionary because, until this NIP, you had to go to a particular website to ⭐ stuff. Now you can ⭐ anything, anywhere you can point to it with some sort of internet identifier, using any client that writes and signs ⭐ notes, and your star can be evaluated by anyone reading from any relay you've written your ⭐ to.

You can star Beave's Blacksmithy webpage, Beth's Baked Goods e-bay site, Vitor's Amethyst release, Michael's newest NIP, whatever.
