Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

Nostr needs a public DM spec.

A note kind not designed for a feed.

Just a simple way for users to talk to one another that every nostr app can implement.

No encryption, no privacy. Just open text.

Like replies, but without the need for a post in your feed.

Why unencrypted?

Because it's easier. It gets clients moving faster. And looking at how people use replies as chat, I don't even think encryption is needed for most stuff.

Fair, but a clear way to delineate encrypted vs public chat would be worthwhile. Most people don’t understand the difference, but assume “private” means “encrypted”.

I think we can just show them in notifications and allow people to reply to it there. So, no full chat anywhere.
