When things get complicated and unwieldy that usually means you are missing some fundamental components.
Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed the web becoming complicated and unwieldy (and broken). That led me to think hard of what was actually missing.
I think I have the answer now.
After wracking my brain and experimenting for months…
It’s the #nostr relay component that can read/write/store/delete signed events.
… all specified in NIP-01.
In addition to the relay component, the missing concept, of course, is the #npub, a cryptographically generated identifier that can exist outside of any platform.
I am now finding that the npub/relay combo is enabling an entire fauna of new solutions, free from all that capture-crap that we’ve become used to.
Onward!
