Nostr Web Client

Interesting. I got it reading and writing over https and websockets, now, but the stream opens and then immediately closes.

This is a browser app, but will run on the phone as a PWA and the desktop as an Electron app or similar, so wanted to live-stream a text feed on the landing page (so that it looks alive and everyone can see that the relay feed is active) and live-notifications and etc. Idea is that, if they install Realy they get that over the more-efficient SSE, and it defaults to websockets, otherwise. I pause websocket-streaming, in low-bandwidth, but keep the sse open, if there's enough network to keep it moving.

This is the choice of backend installers+integration we've decided to offer:

**Backend**

- A Realy installation offers an expanded feature set, such as:

- a full RESTful API that covers all the core Nostr protocol

- SSE streaming over HTTP

- elegant handling in low-bandwidth networks

- maximizing your ability to integrate with other apps, hardware, and protocols

- GRAIN comes along with an advanced document database (MongoDB)

- StrFry is a very mature, performant relay

- Nostr-relay-tray is a lightweight, popular personal relay

- Nostr DB is a fast storage, for those who don't want a full relay integrated.

We're aiming GitRepublic at techy people, so we think they'll appreciate being able to "plug-in" to the app, to access Nostr over http. Then it's an API.
