What I am doing more and more of is Nostr-without-websockets. Sometimes without relays. Like, just signing stuff and then saving it to .jsonl or sending it as an e-mail attachment.
Or polling. Sign and publish something and it's just sort of floating out there, and there are polling stations that go catch it up in nets.
I'm removing a lot of the immediacy.
And then, on the other hand, using relays as a between-place to integrate data from multiple users, really rapidly, before pulling it down into some other medium. Relays as a sort of waiting room or prep table.
So, I think we're thinking more and more about using relays as a piece of network architecture. Just leaving anything social out of that workflow.

Also working on relays with Kubernetes and Kafka or RabbitMQ. Industrial-strength relays...
Nostr is the rebirth of the open web. No algorithms, no gatekeepers, just pure signal. ๐ โค๏ธ
