Let’s just build it and NIP after it catches it on
Otherwise, GIFs are gonna be emojis
Discussion
Added some examples to the doc https://github.com/hzrd149/nips/blob/image-collections/169.md
Ideally the events would just be a new kind of NIP-51 lists / sets with NIP-92 "imeta" tags. that should give plenty of flexibility to add thumbnails, alt, and summaries to images so the are easier to search for
I also changed kinds to 10169 and 30169 since the original was conflicting with some stuff
I’ll start working on an implementation and will hit you up if I run into any issues/conflicts
Also:
I have an implementation working currently
I just published a test event (hex_id = "79c96ab3dc70a8bb9e713072ed32e26498e67c565db4cce8e821032db58326f0")
You can try it here (requires nostr web extension):

I know it matches nip92, but I prefer the method of nip94 for parsing events client-side
By that I mean:
["url", "website.com"] instead of ["url website.com"]
But you're the one with an actual client so I'm interested in your thoughts when you have the time
Looks like its working nostr:naddr1qqyhgetnwssxw6txwvpzqfngzhsvjggdlgeycm96x4emzjlwf8dyyzdfg4hefp89zpkdgz99qvzqqqr4myqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsht0vfu
For NIP-94 the separate tags are best because its only describing a single file / image but for the collections we need a way to have multiple
If it helps I recently added a few helper methods to applesauce for parsing imeta tags https://github.com/hzrd149/applesauce/blob/master/packages/core/src/helpers/file-metadata.ts
Yeah, I figured that was the reason
Next steps for me are to add a personal collection tab like Emojito so users can view their collections and then I’ll probably launch it
But it’ll likely be pretty useless as first until clients implement it
Noob-question: why exactly are lists better for collections than labels?
1) Is it because then it's easier to zap / share / fetch / etc... a specific collection?
2) How does that way up against the complexity and redundancy it introduces, as compared to labeling things?
Noob-question to your noob-question:
What are labels?
Is that another nip?
We were just doing the same thing as emoji packs but for bigger images
