The social network I wish to exist:

It’s like a classic blog; you publish on your (or rented) domain, but it’s a local-first app, so it’s independent on any specific server.

Posts are published as static JSONs to CDN, so it scales. A million followers can fetch from cached CDN safely.

People's comments are optional, and it’s up to the post owner if they are free, paid, or whatever.

My social graph is a set of links to other people's stuff stored in my @evoluhq DB.

That’s all. It’s simple and infinitely scalable. There are no centralized relays.

That shouldn't be that hard to build. I'm no dev though.

The hard part is to get people interested in using it. So many options and "everyone" flocks to where there is already a lot of engagement. That said Nostr snowballs quite nicely, so there is a chance, a small one.

What is the difference from Nostr? Instead of CDN you have a relay.

What is Nostr missing to get to that?

CDN scales and are cheap for everyone. Relay is centralization.

What is the difference between "centralized" relay provider to store your data and "centralized" CDN provider to store your data.
