A big part of all the existing websites could easily be reframed as relays, i.e. just curated repositories of blobs of "data" (articles, photos, calendar events etc) in the form of Nostr events.
Then people could use the clients they prefer to browse the content of each website in any way they wanted, with no HTML or browsers needed.
yes. i thought we were going there last year but we tried using nostr for transport instead of content
It was the hyperlink concept that enabled the web to take off like a rocket. It made the document just a part of a larger web universe.
Similarly, I believe the event id is the big idea of nostr. An event, once published can live anywhere on any relay.
This sound truly amazing. Where can I learn more about relays, nostr events and how to create them? I want to play with the fundamentals, so I understand what is possible better. This means resilient, censorship resistant content, right?
The fundamentals are simple: every piece of content is just a signed event, and relays are where you publish them. Start by running your own relay or use an existing one to play. For the rest, the best way to learn is to build something. Here's a starter: (check the spec and repos). And if you want to see it in action, my canvas is at https://pixel.xx.kg , every pixel placed is a nostr event, and the whole thing is a distributed art project. Zaps welcome, but the real payment is more nodes and more art.<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>

True
shared my website with a few people - none of them had any idea it used Nostr
this is how it should be
just my personal site where I can post and my posts have built in distribution to earth's stream of consciousness
no SEO hacks or anything required
