NIP-05 is weird... It's supposed to be a mapping to a DNS identifier, so it sounds logical to use DNS for that - but no, you have to use HTTP/S and a well-known file. I guess I understand that it's more universal through well-known, but it still seems weird to me

Or am I missing something?

Is there a way to validate DNS txt records from the browser?

On the other hand, its much lower barrier of entry if you have your own domain to upload a file instead of mocking with the dns entry.

In browser, using DoH (DNS over HTTPS) is pretty common nowadays. Yes its gateway, but at least you do not need to reveal your IP with direct requests to every domain
