the magic of #nostr is its simplicity - developers of all skill levels can quickly be productive.

we must fight complexity in protocol. look at the unix philosophy for inspiration.

clients pushing complex, multi-event NIPS for basic features like uploading a photo goes against this philosophy.

agreed. I think about it like this: bring your own media server file uploads, just like you can plug in any relay server for notes. files are hashed to ensure data integrity and de duplication. signatures of the content would be a nice addition.

I still think the media server spec is viable.

I don’t believe there are any, but that makes sense to me.

the complexity tradeoffs for this seems pretty high when compared to the standard multipart form over http. have you considered a solution for file uploads that isn’t websockets? 3 distinct events over ws for an image upload feels like a lot of complexity.

that was the idea behind the proposed nostr-media-spec. should probably circle back to this!
