Nostr Web Client

In regards to sharing files, messages, photos, videos…

There HAS to be a unified protocol for all of this. It has gotten so convoluted, and everything is stuck behind proprietary apps, messaging protocols, cloud storage in either Dropbox, iCloud, google, or whatever else and they can’t be shared with out separate accounts for each.

When the day comes that I fully own my device, that I can use it in a permisionless way separate from these manufacturers’ walled gardens, will be the day we succeed in this tech evolution.

In my mind, it should work like this, and #nostr probably already knows this, but;

My phone should be MINE, and everything I do with it or any information I give it should be cryptographically signed and still be tied to my private keys. I’m so tired of separate apps and subscription fees.

Any messaging platform anywhere should be able to accept my identity, encrypt it accordingly, and share with anyone else on any other interface for reading signed notes. That should include files, messages, full res images and full length video, gaming identities, NFT or signed art, audio and more.

Cloud storage, same thing. My files can be signed and encrypted to my ID, and theoretically stored on any data server (Amazon, google, apple, whatever)

Is this a crazy radical concept? I’m fine with network and transaction fees, and buying devices and app permissions outright. Sure, it would drastically alter the current private company profit model, but is this a radical idea? How would the economics work out? What devices and apps are already doing this besides Nostr and maybe mastodon 🙄. Help me help that ecosystem be the norm.
