I had a revelation yesterday afternoon. I was going back over nip29 and trying to make sense of kind 10,11. They are described as "This is the basic unit of a microblog root text note sent to a group." and threaded version. This confused me, however after speaking with nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 I realized the more accurate meaning which as that kind 10/11 are meant to facilitate what we know as a forum. Wow! This is an amazing discovery to me. Not only does nip29 bring support for simple chat groups, but also groups which have threaded forum posts. I absolutely love this and am more excited about nip29 than ever before!

Today is gonna be an off day for me as I spend time with the family, but when I get back I will be integrating this forum functionality into Seer. Cheers everyone!

TIL about NIP-29, thanks! We should normalize kind 11 in its own NIP for all kinds of notes that don't belong in the kind 1 timeline. Like I want to use kind 11 notes in NIP-72 communities.

We can do that.

I think we can just edit the NIP-72 to redefine kind 11 in its context. And also NIP-87 could be better if it used that? nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn

But honestly you should all consider adopting NIP-29 instead -- or finding some more flaws in it.
