Nostr Web Client

I’m not sure if Nostr is aware of what’s going on in the #WordPress community right now, but it’s headed toward a civil war and has effects that are rippling through the entire open source internet.

If someone is capable of developing a decentralized plugin repository built on Nostr, you’d have a million developers turning their heads to look this way. This is a much larger opportunity for nostr to attract talent than any possible exodus from Twitter.

in the end this boils down to the issue of naming and trust, isn’t it?

who says plugin xyz is the one I want and is not confused with another one that is called xyz?

we still did not solve this in a usable and scalable way, did we?

signatures + time chain to the rescue?

I don't think so. I think it's more so about contributions to development versus freeloading off Automattic's work than the TM stuff. I think the TM stuff is just the proxy war.

Sure seems like there’s a whole lot of “personal vendetta” to it, too.

I was always a big fan of Matt and I've especially followed it in the early days of WP. Automattic was always an inspiration as a company. - but I haven't followed it in the recent years and I don't know the current drama...

my comment was more about developing an alternative solution (on Nostr for example).

in a decentralized plugin repository naming and trust is the issue, isn't it?
