Just came up with a new plan for fixing replaceable events with nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj

The biggest issue with replaceable events (contact lists, profiles, lists,) is that there is no versioning scheme. This leads to many issues where your contact list is dropped, comments+likes+zaps appearing only on older versions of a post, etc.

We need a concept of versioned events in nostr and a way of querying those effectively. Looking forward to working with nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj on this and implementing it in Damus, nostrdb and hopefully strfry once we figure it all out.

Could this be used for editing notes?

Sorry not sorry typo maxis

Replaceable events are already being used to edit notes (longform, etc). The problem is you lose edit history when you abuse replaceable events like this.
