Nostr Web Client

Great article!

One thing I have found quite limiting about NIP-05 is that it only allows you to have one "association" at a time. I have dikaios1517@nostrplebs.com. I proudly keep it, because I have been with them since just after the service went live. Yet... I have a lot of other groups I am associated with, that I must forego them being able to confirm that association if I want to stay with nostrplebs.

I don't see any reason why this must be the case. If I want to continue to rep nostrplebs, but also have my church's domain confirm that my npub is associated with my church, or my employer's domain confirm that my npub is associated with them, or Sovereign Craft confirm my npub is the same Dikaios1517 they see on the server there, all of them should be able to do so, without having to trade one out for the other in my kind 0.

Maybe there should be a primary NIP-05, and then a comma separated field in the kind 0 with alternative NIP-05s that also point to your npub for those other associations?

Something like this? I added an alias field to the nostr.json response

{ "names": { "trbouma": "df82f7b15bdae5815a25e12ae8a26c50eac1ee47f524776c6ae80805ce8271f4" }, "aliases": [ "trbouma@openproof.org" ], "relays": { "df82f7b15bdae5815a25e12ae8a26c50eac1ee47f524776c6ae80805ce8271f4": [ "wss://relay.getsafebox.app" ] } }

What is the origin of this response?

Say a friend of mine from church is wanting to find me on Nostr. They search for dikaios1517@[churchdomain]. Is this the response that would be sent from the domain to my nostr client saying, "Here's his npub. He's also known as dikaios1517@nostrplebs.com" so the client can then display the proper profile to my friend?

I don’t think it should be on nostr.json. I think it should just be a separate kind event that is not kind 0.

Yeah, likely better approach.
