The one that annoys me about Pear is that its primarily developed in javascript and nothing else afaik. Development is super slow, not like nostr where its a new NIP every day.

For some stuff Nostr works, and for others it doesn't. we need a better implementation for DMs and any other type of p2p.

Nostr is not going to solve all of our problems and if we have to cherry pick from different protocols to serve the purpose I don't see anything wrong with that.

Anyway, feel free to debate or weigh in, anyone else who has spent time reading the pear docs.
