Nostr Web Client

I always thought that private groups could just have their own little walled garden that doesn't interact at all with the rest of nostr. A single relay or a small group of relay dedicated to only that group.

Are you thinking that is too big of a lift to start up? Or is this problem just way more complex and technical than I can appreciate?

I know you have been working on this for a long time and are 10000 layers deeper than I'll ever be, but are there tradeoffs that seem too big but maybe aren't as bad as you think?

I think it could be "solved", but privacy is essentially working against the grain of nostr. Put another way, if you don't want to reveal yourself at all you're not interested in the open network value proposition nostr offers, and so there's no reason to use nostr instead of something more centralized.

Yes that would be centralized, but it would still be open source. And you could still bring your keys with you when you go outside the group (even if your profile stays in the walled garden group). Church groups can totally be centralized... Who would push back on that?

Yep, agreed, it's just a matter of where to use which profile at that point
