Nostr Web Client

I use SirTunnel. Just a few lines of python and caddy. It lets you tunnel out from your laptop or phone. Always intended to add sats and stuff.

I’m in the camp of “what can be done in a very standardized and simple way that’s extremely easy to replicate and will be useful for the greatest number of tools in the future. Right now I think that’s very possibly going to be the pear stack. I’ve been able to do some amazing things with it, and I hope the application we are building will be really successful.

I’ve spent way too long trying to reinvent the wheel over and over again or waiting for someone else to find the perfect solution, and have felt that the networking and connection side isn’t even our problem anymore, it’s about nothing being fully implemented or standardized. Everyone just wants to fix it “their way.” So I’m simply going all in on the pear stack for the simple reason that it works in all the ways I need it to and can be very easily made highly secure and robust as well. That seems good enough for what we need. More than happy to see people build other things and create applications, maybe we can even use them, but right now the above is all I’m looking for.

This is very reasonable.

Ultimately any choice you make is a kind of gamble.

I like pair but they seem to be over promising. It seems quite hyped.

From my experience P2P is tempting but always comes back to bite you, either through lack of scaling, or edge cases, or just doing strange things to your network and router. So if you are brave then you can try it, but long-term reliablity may be an issue.

I’ve not had any problems yet. We will see. The good thing is my application doesn’t necessitate it. We are already thinking about how to do a “just in case” connection method. Although we aren’t sure how necessary it will be. The Pear stack has been incredibly reliable for us though. Certainly far more so than the plethora of other connection methods that seem to be touted as “solutions” have been in my experience.

Not sure what overpromising you are referring to unless you just mean Keet specifically. That app has some work still needed despite the fact that I love it, but what we need for project isnt Keet related. Just needs Pear to work and so far so good. Fingers crossed.
