I have a little idea for a weekend project because weekends are for more open-source projects. Although CDK is very fun every weekday, I want something fast and different for this weekend. I'd only make it happen if I have enough feedback (I don't wish zaps, but I like meaningful feedback or *likes*). The idea is to implement a simple blossom server in PHP so it can be installed in every cheap shared hosting or cheap VPS available. In my opinion, that's the only way to achieve true decentralization. Although Rust is amazing, I've been using PHP for more than 15 years before switching completely to Rust ~5 years ago, so I guess it shouldn't be that hard.

If this project is successful, my next beast to tackle would be a WordPress (and standalone PHP nostr client) to generate my posts, which would be reposted to a static website so they can be read by non-nostr clients and the entire web.
