While everyone was arguing about an experiment I built a nostr-native RISC-V microkernel that implements a variant of NIP-5D with a native transport. The applet pattern means that nostr applications can be written without in-depth knowledge of nostr protocol. It also means that the nostr connection, key management, crypto and optimization layers remain logically separated from the application layer. Unlike other similar solutions to date, few compromises are made: the application layer can be as creative as it wants and only has to focus on UX, while the shell handles the heavy lifting.
I now have two implementations of NIP-5D, one via a web-based shell that has a runtime and another via native shell on RISC-V embedded in a RUST microkernel; with API parity. Both will be released when they are released, I cannot afford that much time for nostr anymore, and I will only release them when they are ready. I will block out some time soon to refine a Nostr Applet possibility.
