Nostr Web Client

Bird1984 🦜

My dad in law worked with Tim Bernes Lee at CERN in the late 80 and he took the web to Denmark and build the first danish web page for the national library. Recently i found this tshirt at his home. And here I thought he was just an ordinary man in his late sixties.

Interesting to mention perhaps would also be Project Xanadu from the 1960s, by the inventor of hypertext, Ted Nelson. In some aspects already a precursor to the nostr architecture, i.e. also distributed, content-agnostic servers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu

(He furthermore thinks the WWW is a poor implementation of his hypertext vision.)

Yes, of course

This is mentioned in Tim's book, Weaving the Web

Ted Nelson even sent Tim a copy of his book, "Literary Machines"

But for some reason it was not possible for Ted to cash the payment (swiss francs I think)

Years later I sent the price of the book to Ted in bitcoin, to finally settle the bill
