Nostr Web Client

Any DB is fine. Nostr content is just a text string. And some text meta data.

Depends on your use case really. mongo should be a decent choice. sqlite for small things.

Nostr should not be used as a database, but everyone does is. Because it's convenient. But you end up hitting walls. Like no real indexes, or query language, no ability to do large follow lists, AND/OR facilities, joins, secondary keys, composite indexes etc.

You might want to have a look at #ditto which is the first relay to have a modern database. Nostr as a DB is 50 year old technology.

I hear you. I've looked a little at Ditto and my opinion at first glance is it's not as modular as the rest of the network tries to be.

So, yes it has a DB, but depending on my purpose maybe not the one I need.

And it has data BI and tracking but maybe not the one I need.

And it has a client but maybe not the one I need.

And it has a user rights and identity setup, but maybe not the one I need.

I find myself seeking more modularity, like to pick up pieces ala cart and configure them (for now, and I may be wrong!)
