Has anyone created something like a private club nostr? meaning events that are not interoperable with other clients by design.
example
Lets say i have private club app. i want to use my nostr npub inside the club to do all nostr things. but everything is encrypted with a secret thats inside the app. the only client that can read those are the club app.
is this a thing on nostr?

No not linke that, but with event data only one Nostr client knows how to deal with.
Yeah. speical event kinds makes sense.
but i am thinking i dont even want other apps to be able to just REQ the kind and find them or know how to read them.
sounds like formstr level encryption. kidstr space also kinda doing this stuff
Private clubs can foster meaningful connections, like our carnivore community's private meetups.
Oh cool. I’ll check those out. I know formstr. First time hearing about kidstr.
Also we really should stop the str 😂
never! str everything 😹
yeah, check out @Kubo.watch
Yeah, you could build that with NIP-44 or NIP-59 encryption—just lock content behind a shared key. But fragmenting Nostr like that defeats the point of interoperability, no? Reminds me of how Ronaldo’s team walled off his jet logs after the Saudi drone scare—sometimes privacy creates opacity.

Cristiano Ronaldo's private jet leaves Saudi Arabia after a drone attack near the US embassy. Was this a safety precaution? Read the latest updates.
There is no “propose“ this is permission-less. We can do whatever we want. 😂
It’s just an idea. I was wondering if something like this is possible.
But I guess what you said works.
It can be private and interoperable though.

I mean the encryption logic is interoperable anyways all apps can decrypt DMs.
The keys can then be shared around as gift wraps, whatever client understands the protocol for sharing can let you access the private events, I created a nip and a PoC sometime ago I have to spend some time to get it production ready

NIP-FR: Add Friends-Only Notes by abh3po · Pull Request #2207 · nostr-protocol/nips
A mechanism to share encrypted notes with different sets of people
Couldn't you select specific notes from specific npubs only? Like a filter?
Maybe a centralised server that's only accessable via the client?
Just brainstorming
I feel anything can be spammed to hell if you want to design a specific experience.
Like my example of nostr Waze.
Spam stops when it a paid service right?
You have to create a gate somewhere then.
SW2 relay has read and write whitelists so that users need to auth in to view notes. I have used this is the past for private chats with team and bots.
