Questions derived from this: a. a lot of these are all different nostr apps that could stand on their own? So better to see what people have built and are building, see how what we think is good fits into that? or at least build apps that can stand on their own b. how to connect other apps onto an authenticated trustroots relay? relates to at least 3. 4. 5. c. alby is a browser extension in which you can manage your private key, and then use different apps? d. ideally there's a way for alby (and similar apps) to authenticate with an app without giving out private key?
Here's a little essay that I had thought to tell @guaka by phone!
I was thinking this morning about the nostr experiment. What can people do on it? That's the question I focused on. Replicating a poor quality copy of the current trustroots experience doesn't make a lot of sense. Folks might use it, but presumably they only use it if they're really motivated to try nostr, or just love p2p, etc. Otherwise, why bother?
Which led me to consider, what about putting something else on nostr? A few ideas came up:
What else?
Thoughts
Personally, I think it makes sense not to put hospex on nostr at first.
We could also launch a simple demo without doing any trustroots integration. It just gets linked from trustroots. It might get spammed. We can see how it goes. Most likely it'll simply be ignored.
I'm leaning towards starting with simple notes and adding a location. We don't need to add any extra functionality to nostr to be able to do that. We can just designate a location field and then crack on. We can load all the data on every page view. If that becomes problematic we could react accordingly.
I'm liable to proceed with something like this unless I hear contra feedback or better ideas are proposed...
