Nostr Web Client

But relays are URLs, you can't escape that. I don't know why you think URLs are so bad. It seems like you want a fully p2p network, in that case other means should be preferred over Nostr. I think trying to turn all internet communication into events inevitably leads to a slow, bloated and nonfunctioning experience.

I don't like switching btw my nostr app and web. I don't like looking for relays on some clunky websites, and copy paste meaningless relay urls. I don't like when domains I use are blocked by local firewalls. If we abstract them away nostr experience might be smoother. I am fine with urls under the hood.

What do you think about nip97?

At first glance I don't like it because it tries to shove p2p communication into Nostr, like many other proposals floating out there, and I don't see how that can scale. But I haven't inspected it very closely yet.

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't like clunky websites either, but I think they are necessary if we want Nostr to keep working without becoming the silo of some centralized app that makes everything easy. I could be wrong. The experience of finding relays and other URL-based services could also be much better and not necessarily require clunky websites.
