@calle I have seen you talking about freedom technology. That's why I want to show you my Freedom Technology Forum I created with #Nowhere. Nowhere stores entire websites in the link itself, in the URL fragment to be precise. And the forums on Nowhere use #Nostr for posts, replies and chat.

This is insane. I had no idea you could do that.
For 5 of the site types there is no communication needed and all the data needed to render the site is in the link. It was clear there was amazing synergy with bitchat here. You could create a website offline with no connection and then send it through the mesh and people would be able to load it fully offline. You could print out QR codes for events, or fundraisers, or blog posts. Scan them. Load the site. And share the link through bitchat all with no connection. As a demo of this potential I forked bitchat android to add native support for rendering nowhere links. You can see in the clip how it detects the link, and then lets you open the site all within the app.
I did a test with some normie friends, I told them to turn on air plane mode than open my link, doesn’t work until they go online back so their browser could build it from url using cache – I suppose, Im not a dev.
Yes they would need to have the nowhere renderer saved locally. That is why it is a forked version of bitchat to include the files needed to render a nowhere site inside the app. If you want to view a site offline you need to do it from within the Nowhere PWA.
