But the more I look at NIP-26 it is becoming evident that adoption didn’t catch on, too many unresolved issues linger, and there may be some divisive baggage associated in its old age.

Would I be better off not trying to work with NIP26 and just going with an all new NIP even though it overlaps some with the problems NIP26 is trying to address? And most importantly, since I’m new to the room, would either of your be willing to read my ideas in a NIP draft form before I submit anything?

NIP-26 is a failed promise that can't be resolved -- don't look there for answers, it has none.

So yes,. overlap on use cases it's good, but its solutions are bad (specially because they look initially look sound).

And yes, just publish your thoughts here you'll get more feedback than you wanted to receive 😂

I often write a NIP in very draft form (mostly just the data model and one or two paragraphs explaining what's not readily apparent on wikifreedia.xyz and then publish it here.

Thank you for the detail. It offers some perspective. I’ll unmerge the NIP26 accommodations that I incorporated and let it stand on its own as conceived. Once it’s ready, I’ll look for feedback and scrutiny.

Here’s the current draft of the idea in GitHub, where this discussion may belong…
