Nostr Web Client

I kept thinking "man! We need some sort of new social media deal that's not owned by big tech, like an email or RSS based system, maybe with some crypto type tech thrown in" for years before nostr.

I kept looking. Stumbled upon Phoenix chat but could never get it to work, and the same with Element/Matrix. I never got the motivation to build it myself, but I might have attempted eventually.

It's the same with Bitcoin. I thought that money needed to be decentralized. I saw how credit card processors were the always middle man who would basically have half the money after just 20-30 transactions, and I thought to myself "psshhh! It's just a ledger! I can do better than that!" Then I found bitcoin and was like "dang! He beat me to it..."

For one, replacing the phone number system with an open protocol not captured by big tech.

Apparently, there's a NIP for that 😂
