Nostr Web Client

Yep, but we tried to do it on top of XMPP…. This was back in 2007 and 2008! Ages ago. Honestly a lot of decentralized tech needed to be developed in order for it to work. We were too early.

I am not a tech guy, haven‘t heard of XMPP before but it sounds really good, lightweight and flexible, also usable for Voice and Video posts. Do you think #Nostr is the better protocoll in the end though? Why? Curious…

they are very similar in a way.

but XMPP is direct messaging focused while nostr is "social media" focused.

Thanks for clarifying. Is CMPP being focused the reason why it didn‘t work for Twitter? Was Nostr developed afterwards then, not available back then?

yes XMPP has been around for over a decade if not much longer.

not sure about the reasons of why it didnt work, but yes nostr came much later.
