There has been no attention on the notecrumb project since January 2024.
Is there a NIP which would allow relays to expose notes via HTTP/HTML? This would give you the alternatives.

No, that's would be an attack on Nostr.

Ok, I see. Bad idea. Because centralist power comes with the nice GUI. Everybody would need to post to this relay because people would want to look it up there. I guess this is also how the “canonical relay” died.
But, counter-example:
I think the Web Archive is a great undertaking. It keeps what is otherwise lost and inaccessible for me. The centralist approach worked well to keep the old decentralized web (not the platform/JS web) available over decades (even though there is censorship; you can request deletion of entries).
But from your viewpoint it’s one single point of failure. What do you make of that? What keeps nostr infrastructure as decentralized as possible but its notes still quotable by Wikipedia? Wikipedia has an answer for geo coordinates for example: a list of apps for representation.
But maybe I’m very wrong. Maybe what we need is a nostr browser?
- Google is filter
- domain with path is note
and instead of hopping servers with hyperlinks we’re hopping relays/servers respective to the npub. And some centralised party will come and archive it all.
Im thinking of something related in microapp sense, but not exactly what you’re describing
Ok. That’s ambitious! 🫡
I initially thought so but its kind of how I’m building microapps within damus notedeck already, just need to figure out the drawing apis and a way to load these apps dynamically (wasm, etc)
Feels like I’m heading toward there 🤔 i think this basically ends up recreating the web with a different set of apis, so maybe there is an opportunity to do something simpler with a more direct rendering interface.
Did tou look into other trials, gopher or so?
