Nostr Web Client

I’ve been reflecting on my core beliefs about nostr. Today we have a simple protocol and some high quality apps which enable us to use nostr together. That’s wonderful and, imo, the right way to instigate a new ecosystem from scratch!

However, I think nostr may succeed fastest when it’s able to orchestrate reading/writing of all Internet messages a person wants to read/write. A lot of discussion assumes people have to adopt ecosystem clients for nostr to succeed, but I’m not so sure.

Instead of requiring everyone to adopt it directly (and changing publishing behavior to new nostr-focused apps), I wonder if we consider it from the perspective of an infrastructure. Can we aggregate all existing messages from the internet that a person wants to read? Can we publish once to all important destinations that someone wants to write?

Who has explored these ideas so far?

I can speak to these points, after deep reflection.

Do you know the personal data stores initiatives from the past? Like The Locker Project for example (Jeremie Miller was involved if I’m right).

Or imagine what could be possible if we integrate Nostr in Nextcloud or other personal data / storage / backup tools.

Problem is that we need good (secure) private event broadcasting because not all data will be public you broadcast. (Hello NIP-44?)
