Nostr Web Client

I don't think it's appreciated enuf how much of a stunning 🎯 Nostr is in the set of tradeoffs that form protocol design

Benefits

* the identity sovereignty of P2P but without the performance and discoverability downsides

* the performance and discoverability of ATProto and ActivityPub but without the centralization of the former, the account portability issues of the latter, and the ruggability of both

* the accessibility of ActivityPub and the flexibility of ATProto

Costs

* users need to store their nsec securely, like a password 🙃

I get that ppl looking at the millions of Xitter refugees joining Bluesky and asking what is Bluesky doing that is better than Nostr comes from genuine concern but it's also extremely retarded

What Xitter users are saying about Bluesky has nothing to do with the app

99.9999999% of Xitter users at the point that they join Bluesky have no idea what features Bluesky has, how well it performs, how easy to use it is, or how it stacks against alternatives

They only have an impression of the safe, official-y replacement for Xitter, aided by good marketing from Bluesky

Nostr can't match that marketing because it never had that connection to begin with
