Nostr Web Client

now that we have giftwraps in damus android/notedeck/ios and a DM app in progress, I am thinking about starting work on a nostr mail client.

this would be like nip17, but except for direct messages, you would have full email-like threads with tagging, search, archive/read states.

once we have this we can start working on zap-based nostr mail prioritization.

after this we can start integrating this nostr inbox into nostr git workflows.

i will eventually replace all my productivity apps with nostr alternatives, with zaps as the noise and prioritization filter. it will be glorious. #damuswork

can't it just be the kinds in nip-17 with an extra subject tag or something?

do nip17 clients handle threaded replies?

jb55 3w ago

i would hate to have my inbox in my DMs, i feel like having them separate would be a good thing

Mine ignore the subject tag and reply hierarchies, but there's no reason you couldn't add them

jb55 3w ago

having them interoperable might be interesting for sure, i just don't want to spam DM clients with broken stuff

hodlbod 3w ago

I don't think ot would be too broken to naively merge threads. Maybe a little confusing, but it would nudge implementations to support the full spec

thoughts nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z ?

i also think the UX is a bit different. DMs are built around long term conversations between individuals.

inboxes are short term conversations around topics.

I personally think it's better if we migrate NIP-17 to be for mail like stuff. Day to day DMs are better suited for Marmot (NIP-EE)

Someone had already created a prototype or design for it. He was working on a nostr client of his own or just designing it not sure. Don't remember his name and can't find him in my follows now either

now that I have the high performance giftwrap hammer I want to start using it for everything. marmot is a lot more complex in comparison

Found it, it was nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q , now need to find his post

This is the post, I am not sure if Niel thought about making it interoperable with existing DMs but I liked the design and it was in my mind since then to make an email like interface for NIP-17 DMs

We show the parent reply inside the chat buble itself. Subject renames the group chat to whatever people want.

If you want to group by subject (like email), you might need a new kind. Kind 14 requires grouping by the people in the group, like discord/slack does.

I don't know if I like threading to do email-like things, created at order is so good.

yeah i'm definitely leaning toward a new kind nostr:npub1fgz3pungsr2quse0fpjuk4c5m8fuyqx2d6a3ddqc4ek92h6hf9ns0mjeck
