I, for one, welcome our single-client overlord.

A SuperApp client looks like Nostrudel plus relay.tools

Do not fear innovation, even if it looks different than what you had in mind.

If we all use the same client, then relays become the focal point of decentralization. This is a good thing.

Clients are irrelevant in the face of a so-called SuperApp, and that's okay.

Kind-events are the protocol.

Relays are the protocol.

Users are the protocol.

Clients are just a limited gateway to using the protocol.

If we desire to be limitless then there would only need to be one client.

Nostr is a decentralized SuperApplication upon a decentralized protocol.

Nostr-CLI would never demand a competitor if it is built correctly.

Neither should Nostr-GUI.

I only worry that it may be realized long after relays have been forgotten.

Clients can dictate the events, tho, and control what people see.

That means, if there is only one client, then we can theoretically own our own data, but we are forced to follow their rules as to where and how we use it.

So, we all have cars and driveways to park them in our own garages, but the government owns the roads, can take away our license to drive, remove our license plate, or dictate which cars we are allowed to buy.
