Nostr Web Client

This is just one data point, but anecdotally, it seems that the WebSocket dependence is a major pain point in the Nostr protocol.

If anyone knows, I'm curious to hear why WebSockets are the technology of choice.

I think future development work ought to consider how to ease this friction to improve the client development process.

Think its related with framing kind1 microblogging as the primary use case and wanting real time updating.

Fair point. If you need to receive new events as soon as they come in, a WebSocket connection is pretty handy.
