Nostr Web Client

Don't confuse Protocols with Clients.

Bitcoin is a protocol, Wallets are clients.

Nostr is a protocol, Primal/Damus are clients.

clients don't need to be open, or honest, or benign.

Because open protocols allow for users to move with their data/id to other clients.

Don't like a wallet, move your seed.

Don't like a client, move your nsec.

Bitching at clients is a waste of time.

Build the competing clients is a lot more productive.

I feel like refering to the Nostr 'network' would be less confusing to newcomers.

it's not a network

Bitcoin is referred to as a network while being a protocol, is it not?

Bitcoin actually is both a network (of nodes) and a protocol. Nostr is a protocol and we all send and receive to and from relays (that are not connected).

I get it. While it may not be technically accurate, I will continue to use that terminology in person as it seems to be easier for people to grasp. Nostr is a decentralised social network.
