Nostr Web Client

When people inevitably start building on the **other stuff**, is it more likely that the applications will be walled off on private relays or some how find a way to filter public relays?

For instance, if someone chooses to develop a nostr based market place, how would they go about insuring that the events in their site aren't flooding note based clients?

That’s where the concept of different Event Kinds come in. If an event kind is added to the protocol that specifies it’s a product listing, a client like Damus won’t show those unless it specifically includes that event kind in its feed

Ahh gotcha, didn't realize different even types could be used in that way. To use a special event type in an application would it need to be "registered" in any way or do you just kinda go for it?

You'd probably need an NIP on https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips giving details of the new event type & how it's to be handled. Atleast that's what happened for zaps & badges

Hey #[3], what client did you post this reply from? It's using the old "e" tag format and I'm trying to figure out if I need to support it in Nos.
