Ah, so it sounds like you still mean dual-use, where it works online if you give it a connection? Would be great 👍

it syncs everything when you’re back online. This is much harder to do in a traditional app but it’s trivial on nostr.
If you let someone else have the glory, you'll still be the creator of the npub/nsec format, which will be remembered as one of those "so this is what it took a really smart human to first notice it was a good idea at the time" like other great inventions in history. You can pretty much work on whatever you feel like for the rest of your life with no regard to your legacy.
However, if your version of github is the one that eats github, you will also go down in history for that. Something to think about.
i feel like i have barely started building what I want to build on nostr. iOS was a weekend project to implement a twitter clone. nostr is so much bigger than that. notedeck is a platform that I plan on using to showcase all the other stuff. I wanted to build something with a solid foundation that works everywhere before I started. A native nostr browser. nostr can replace obsidian, mail, github, calendars. We’re just getting started.
Indeed, nostr can do everything.
But github is the domino that lands on the app store domino, and app stores are the domino that lands on the operating system domino, and that's the one that knocks down the hardware manufacturing domino and gets us a RISC-V iPad.
The first time an app is installed on a device from a nostr app store that builds from source code, it's game over for the "old guard."
