Nostr Web Client

I don’t think it’s fair game to say nostr relies on DNS.

It’s not like matrix, activity pub and all that federated crap where identities are tied to server names.

We just happen to connect with relays to send and fetch notes, that more often than not do have a DNS.

And we have people building P2P experiments with nostr, which further proves the point.

What I mean is that every nostr relay and media server is on an ICANN domain, so without connecting to ICANN DNS nothing on Nostr works.

Unless you’re on Damus android pulling notes from nearby peers, or connecting to a tor relay or…

My point is nostr doesn’t halt without DNS, contrary to other protocols which tie DNS into user accounts.

Fair enough, I've not yet looked into whatever Damus Android is doing.
