That's a pretty cool idea man.
An anonymous way to ask a dumb question.
I built a new micro-client for nostr called Openly
It's a completely private, no sign-up service that let's you #asknostr any question with one-click
Notes and replies are stored locally in the browser on the user's device
I made this because I have many stupid questions that I didn't want associated with my identity and the friction of creating another account prevented me from asking
Need sources? Google it
Need it fast? Use AI
Want replies from actual people? Ask Openly

It works. This is pretty cool, although I prefer to ask dumb questions myself. 🤭
It's good that I've seen this note, I was about to block it thinking it's a bot/spam.
You are braver than I 😂
I worried about people thinking it’s a spam bot and blocking
On one hand, it’s hard to block because it’s a new npub each time, on the other I should add a common criteria so it can be blocked if people want
I add profile metadata before each post to show people what it is but maybe there’s more I can be doing
You're right. At the moment nostr is pretty chill but it could pose a problem with people abusing it in the future. I'm currently following asknostr hashtag because it's educational most of the times.
As for asking dumb questions yourself, try this experiment and see how it feels. Imo it keeps you humble and grounded which is great in bitcoin. Also, people tend to offer their input more if they know you a little, otherwise there might not be enough context for the question asked.
Anyway, your creation is really cool and there are cases when pseudoanonymity is needed or preferred. Congrats!
Thanks, homie 🙏
Needs more work, but I like it so far
