Nostr Web Client

I have noticed a general trend among kids to prefer apps with more extremely ephemeral content -- like pictures that disappear fast. In chat apps, there are also temporary messages.

While we know that once something is on the internet, we cannot guarantee it will be deleted, closed platforms with closed source apps can for sure mimic that kind of scarcity.

How can we replicate that behavior in a decentralized protocol?

We can just add an expiration time to each post.

But once there is a event, another app can keep the events for longer 🫠

The logical conclusion seems to be that there is no solution.

this is true for deletes as well. bug that the client author to not do that.

Could you guys help me create a NIP? I’ve written a more detailed post. I might be naive, but I believe we can create something that resembles a temporary event. I am going open a PR but I'll need help (I hope to not feel ashamed haha)

It already exists. It's NIP 40 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/40.md

It's no way close to that nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau

Why? Just do an `expiration` tag with now + 1 second and boom the event is gone before its even downloaded from the relay.
