Nostr Web Client

https://github.com/dtonon/nostr-ruby#create-a-channel-post

I have read, but not tried, one nostr clients supports creating channels. I.e. here on iris web I have Following, Messages and Global channels. Can't add more. If I were on the other client supporting user-created channels would I receive push notifications about new messages in them? You may not be involved at all in nostr client development so you may not know the answer. I understand that. Just assuming you do instead.

Ah ok, you are checking my ruby lib and now I understand what you are referring to with "channels".

Channel messages are kind 42, currently they are seldom used, a lot of client show only kind 1 (main notes) in the feeds, they don't subscribe to channels ones, so you didn't receive any notification.

Amethyst is the only client I know that formally support channels.

For you use case, while waiting a general better channels' support, perhaps you can just use kind-1 events, they are public as much kind-42 and no one care what flows on the global :)

Jumping in and out of nostr I can tell quality of messages is generally poor. From a quantitative point of view. My first experience with absence of moderation.

Messages generated by my system (notes in local lingo) are disposable and non interactive. They only purpose to elicit push notifications. This being said it may serve a larger audience so organising them into channels seems necessary.
