An underrated feature of DVMs is that they can operate as an endpoint without the need for their own DNS record or domain name. Sure, they depend on relays, but you could run a relay by IP address alone too.

Can't you do exactly the same with standard APIs?

If you use someone else's relay you don't need to expose your IP address to your users.

Yeah, it's a minor privacy improvement, however I don't think many will run DVMs without running relays as well.

(btw, I've just sent you a DM, so I announce it here give how reliable they are 😅 )

*searches for Pip in signal groups to use a DM protocol that actually works*

Before that I tried to search for Dan but I found four so I wasn't sure 😅

Imagine a DVM running on an ESP-32 pointed at the damus relay. It's a globally accessible API you can plug in anywhere with WiFi coverage.
