One area that’s yet to get much Nostr attention is real-time blogging or events like earthquakes and natural disasters.
Being an open protocol and decentralised it’s pretty ripe for these types of comms.

I'm waiting for the sensors actually. I miss #[0]'s dishwasher.
Do we need a UDP spec? 😉
I agree. Lots of autonomous stuff could use non-human kinds. Things like traffic congestion or similar, then roll up to a human summary or outcome.
LoRa networks could be great here.
Not sure where you see the biggest need for censorship resistance. Doesn't information about earthquakes flow pretty freely already?
I agree that eventually everything might run over nostr but the focus should be on how urgent the application needs to escape censors.
We might find a broader mix of uses helps create consumer value for relays, who then can cover costs or make money more easily.
Nostr isn’t just about censorship. It’s also decentralisation and open data (not $500 for 500 API requests). Why accept failwhales as a possibility when overloaded or human error.
And Nostr can support p2p. Perhaps sparse internet is a future we can handle.
It’s coming, still early 🤙
