Nostr Web Client

If it's on Hive there's only one copy, whatever the Hive witness say is the copy. As Hive continues to centralize around the few people interested in continuing to buy it (it's dPos after all) eventually you're down to nothing different than a single VPS hosting because it's already to a point where Blocktrades controls the chain for all intents and purposes. (tl:dr Hive isn't distributed now and is only getting worse)

If it was on a nostr relay that was hosted by Podcast Index then everyone would likely just sub to PI for their updates. If you did want to keep your own copy for some reason (maybe you want to backup PI and keep them sound) you could just sync those events to your own relay for safe keeping.

Hive was used because the guy who built is a huge Hive enthusiast, built it out, and proved its usefulness. And it has been proven to be quite useful. If someone built a better solution on nostr that proved to be as reliable, I don’t see any reason for it not to work on both nostr and Hive. The podping api could simply notify both networks of the updated podcasts. One thing about the PC2.0 community is they’re very pragmatic but busy, so the builders decide the direction of things much more than the idea makers.

Yeah in no way a knock on the work that Brian has done. I really hope it didn't come off that way especially after this week's boardroom. All the respect in the world for Brian.

Nah, no disrespect came across. More just noting that nostr may be a great alternative, and trying to encourage those that want to build a nostr based podping to do so. The more the merrier.
