Nostr Web Client

Good question, I was thinking the same. Initial thoughts;

- Tax write-offs, they write it all of and cost them almost nothing. AWS is good at the tax thing..

- Marketing, not sure how many times I’ve mentioned their name, and I would rather use a decentralized solution..

- Build their ecosystem, I will build nostr.build larger, and they will eventually profit from the larger system they helped fund..

There are probably more

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the fediverse but cloudflare did something similar. They made something called wildebeest that specifically runs on their platform. (Recently it came out that it leaks all private messages publicly btw, lol).

I’m just suggesting that you’re going the wrong way with your project and making a mistake. These companies run on data collection.

How/ where do you recommend I should host?

Also, the further you get from apache servers on centralized platforms, the more dev and cost go into things.

I’m planning to get feedback from nostrica on just this topic, stay tuned..

I’m not experienced in this at all and I’m not a developer, I only understand it at a high level. But I think many (most?) ppl on nostr use your service so maybe it’s worth thinking about how to decentralise it.

One idea I’ve been encouraging the client devs to implement is image proxies (which I learned about on the fediverse) so ppl can’t just grab your ip and data.

Totally thinking about it already, there just arn’t too many options, much less easy ones.. taking note of all feedback, thank you.
