That’s a good question. I have two answers.

First, because I saw a lot of misinformation on Nostr. Misinformation isn’t the same for everyone, and that’s fine, diversity of opinion is incredibly valuable. But sometimes it’s not just about opinions; it’s about demonstrably false claims designed to deceive and manipulate.

Debunking false theories with evidence and sourced responses takes 20 times longer than spreading misinformation. An AI-powered tool was an imperfect but useful solution I wanted to explore.

I built this tool to give anyone an easy way to get more context about the information they encounter.

Second, I’m a computer science student, and I think Nostr and Bitcoin are among the most interesting protocols today. I wanted to experiment by building something on top of them.

I won’t stop working on it. For one, people are using it, so it’s useful (and occasionally entertaining). But also, I refuse, as a matter of principle, to give in to the harassment and violent censorship attempts from certain individuals.
