Decentralized Network Integration: NOSTR and ActivityPub #802

Closed dean-futo closed 2 weeks ago

dean-futo commented 2 weeks ago

Use Cases

A user requests that the keyboard integrate with two decentralized networks: NOSTR and ActivityPub.

The NOSTR integration would enable keyboard users to send encrypted messages, manage their keys, and share content on platforms compatible with NOSTR. Other features could include micro-payments via the Lightning Network, user-controlled relays, and cryptographic signing capabilities.

The ActivityPub integration would facilitate interactions with Fediverse platforms, allowing users to post and manage profiles directly from the keyboard. Enhanced features could encompass cross-platform search, scheduling, translation, and insights into user engagement across various ActivityPub services.

These integrations are likely outside of the scope of the keyboard, but it was an elaborate proposal so thought I'd add it here for review and feedback.

Proposal

The user says these integrations could attract more privacy-focused users, help set the app apart in the keyboard market, and align with the growing trend of decentralized communication.

This is really far outside the scope of an offline keyboard app
