Nostr Web Client

I came out of a web developer bootcamp but have no professional experience yet, still a newbie. Could I use nostrdb in place of a traditional backend (with a SQL dB) when building a website? Like a cooking recipe site, for example (user provides title, ingredients list, directions list, author name, image which make up a single record in your recipe dB): could those all be NOSTR notes instead of rows in a SQL dB?

What are you trying to achieve?

Oh don't know yet. I built a recipe website as a project in my coding bootcamp several months back and while I was looking for a free option to host it (I did eventually find a free option for the backend--for a long time all the free options I saw were for frontend only, once Heroku shifted to paid only) I remember at one point I wondered if I could do it with NOSTR instead of a database and just build a frontend that simply collects notes that have been tagged as recipes.

The workings of NOSTR are still totally foreign to me, though, so I quickly gave up that idea so I could get on with my project and finish the bootcamp.

But it remains this niggling half-formed idea in the back of my mind.
