Nostr Web Client

I was thinking how we could add nostr into rclone

I use this tool quite a lot on different machines

I also think about it. The probleme is Blossom servers do not store file path nor file name but only hash. So we need somewhere a db that store the path to hash matchs.

I see 2 solutions:

Solution 1 is to create a centralized middle server that expose a S3 api to the end user (rclone will talk to this server) and this server will process the user request using nostr and blossom.

Solution 2 is to create a dedicated rclone remote for nostr + a new NIP to match the file path with the file hash.

I prefer the solution 2 but it's more complex to achieve. I will be happy to work on that project, I want it too !

There is this: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/94.md which can be used to map hashes to names. rclone looks great, and nostr would be a natural fit.

Yes, it's the more suitable NIP for this purpose but it do not explicitly explain how to add the path + filename. I was thinking about adding a "path" tag to make it clear where the file is in the tree.

Do you have an idea for the path ? Because we need the path somewhere.

I don't think it would be bad to just add a `path` tag to that event, but I'm not really sure how people are currently using it, or how bad not having a path would be.
