Nostr Web Client

What is the consensus around back dating and signing notes?

Suppose I wrote a blog post in 2010 and now I want it to be a nostr note - how should I timestamp it? 🤔

Should relays and clients accept notes with dates before the genesis note? 🤔

My code doesn't accept dates before 2020.

Any particular reason why not allow before?

What do you think in general about the idea of importing old content, notes as an archive?

It is fine. Put the original date in a tag. Put the event creation date as the date you actually created the nostr event.

Because you can't upload an article from 1921. Unixtime doesn't go that far back.

Yes maybe current stamp should be known as like a broadcast or signing date, not necessarily "published"?
