I don't understand how it doesn't force people to use a nostr client if it is nostr based; wouldn't it be a nostr client itself?
Is it that you're avoiding websockets / JavaScript for the UI?
Sharing code with my latest experiment - a Nostr based (but does not force users to use Nostr clients, works over web) anonymous microblog. Have a community that would like to create a persona that would want to share something, but anonymity is good? You can do it now on Nostr.
nsec is derived from the password you just tell people (using salted PBKDF2). No one has any extra privileges, because everyone has the nsec. You relinquish control of the network identity and let it form by everyone telling the password to right people. This is a continuation of an older project, but now fully nostr-capable, so there's not even a webmaster!

It is a Nostr client, but it's a website. Because it uses a shared key, it does feel like just using a blogging website even though it uses Nostr under the hood.
