Nostr Web Client

Not necessarily. How many people use email? Email isn't the community. The people communicating via email is the community. Build a community yourself using a protocol and not a platform. It might not seem much different, but it IS VERY DIFFERENT.

yeah, the current problem is mostly that client devs see it as some kind of version of twitter. this completely ignores so many of the unique capabilities that come from a decentralised post office/pubsub/rendezvous protocol

NWC is a great example of how a substantial utility comes from leveraging, specifically, the rendezvous capability. this capability can be used as an interconnect between servers (like NWC does) but it can also be used to create real time collaborative workspaces, nobody has done that yet, but the potential is there.

rendezvous! I couldn't remember that word for couple of weeks. Thank you.

yeah, it's how Tor provides hidden services. there are also old systems for that like STUN and TURN. they solve the problem of so many clients on the internet not having inbound addresses or firewalls configured to drop inbound connections that you can't enable routing

Yeah I know, I was introducing NWC concept to some group and I couldn't remember the exact word (and couldn't get anything meaningful from translators). So I kept paraphrasing ...
