Nostr Web Client

I see delete as vital for privacy and to prevent major foot guns. I am extremely cautious when posting images for example. Most of the time, I just CTRL+V it and after a few seconds, I see a link to a hosted image in my client.

Did I accidentally upload an image that I didn't want to share? What would I do if I did?

Another fear I have when using nostr is to copy paste the wrong piece of text, for example a password or something similar, and hitring enter accidentally without checking the post again.

These things can happen and the fact that you can't delete a mistake is terrifying. Posting on nostr often feels dangerous to me.

One of the things I get concerned about is image metadata.

You can argue that you should turn off location tagging on your photos but I find it extremely helpful in my day to day life.

I’m incredibly paranoid that I’ll upload a photo with the location still attached and get my address doxed.

I know most file uploaders don’t actually keep the metadata but I have no way to be sure until it’s too late.

It’s a lot of friction to have to strip the metadata in a separate app before uploading.

Would be cool if nostr clients could indicate if metadata is present and whether to remove it client side or not. I know that puts trust in the clients but for open source clients that can be verified.
