wat is "a" tag about

NIP-01 does not explain it at all...

the second field of the tag is kind:pubkey:keyword

what is this in aid of?

so i am searching for an event of kind X from user Y with optional keyword Z?

where does that keyword match come up?

what the funk is it for? what does it enable? it's very unclear!

I’d love to assist but I do not recall what an ‘a’ tag is have you read the NIPs documentation? You might be asking devs who know nothing about Nips just Nipples 🤷‍♂️

lol, haha...

no it's in NIP-01 in the tags section, it doesn't really explain what they are for

they usually are supposed to have as 3rd parameter the relay to look at

i'm just writing a test and i put in a couple of these tags into the test case but now idk how it equates to getting a match on the event - the purpose is testing that each filter field in the query picks up the event correctly...

i'll be digging into the actual query logic so i may end up finding the answer in the code
