How can we use this for countries like China or even (in theory) North Korea? Countries which highly censor the Internet.
Looking at the details, could you scrape the npubs kind 0/lud16 to autofill ln addy And if you update a product in the store, that changes the url when signing the update right? Rendering the old link obsolete
In in initial design I was doing just that. Using the npub to fetch profile data and then filling in a profile card of the seller on the store and automatically adding the correct lightning address. I decided to remove it for two reasons reasons. The first was the increased impersonation risk. I could set my profile picture and description to look just like yours and a customer would likely never check and see a different npub. Relying only on the verification phrase and the npub I had hoped would make this risk smaller. The second reason was privacy. When you open a store with all relevant information in the URL there is no way for someone to tell what store you are on. If I add a profile or lightning address lookup then you are pinging relays requesting a store from a specific user. Since at this point I had already decided not to add profile name/picture/bio I felt the relay request was not needed for just the ln address. However this may have been the wrong approach and having the ability to swap ln addresses on an existing store may have been worth it as an option. Regarding updates you are correct. The catalogue of a store is fixed. Any change to any detail will alter the link. The mitigation I have for this is the optional Inventory management toggle. Without an inventory management event a store link is forever, can never be updated or changed in any way. Stores such as this should not be shared widely. With an inventory management event you can mark certain items as discontinued or out of stock, or you can close the store entirely and optionally provide a link to an updated store. It would have been possible to put all the items on relays but at that point you are just recreating the stores that nostr already has and are creating nnothing new. I am hesitant about stores as perhaps the UX is just too bad to make them ever useful. But they were the first site type and I have a soft spot for them. That being said I still wonder if it is best to remove them alltogether.
I have never used monero but no time like the present to learn. 🤞 thank you 46sYQvfSagcEB45F9aUB29X77wvnZsYiPCYqKneShq2VHKedikvMpKyAkEZEDFUzuy9FLbhyS66mx7LRENtKakkB7y56Eww
Yes I see 👀 good thinking! Privacy first The store idea 💡 is giving me Silk road vibes 😎 the ability to create a one off advertisement totally private 🤪 the possibilities! Also are you on stacker.news ?? I would encourage you to spin up an account and shill nowhere I created a post there but it got lost in the noise If you post it, it's your baby and I think you would get a good reception 😉 and earn a few sats
Interesting project, and neat execution! A UX suggestion: on the homepage don't make the first (almost) empty view full height, otherwise it's not obvious that you can scroll it! Or add a little "Learn more" animation near the bottom of the view port. This main is more useful with a call-to-action, maybe a Create button, or some examples to explore. I would also put in the main menu, it's a really interesting resource. Finally, the menu font-size is really too small :)
I wonder if you could make a fantasy console like this. A fantasy console is an application that behaves like a game console. PICO-8 is a popular example. And the games (small, very simple retro games) could be again stored in URL fragments. Hmm... maybe I could also try this in ShakespeareDIY.
And I get even more ideas now. This could be a new website type. A minimal Nostr client. When creating one, the creator could define which kinds to support and maybe how to render them. Also with the possibility to show events regardless of their kind.
Exactly. However, if it would be a separate project that just works like Nowhere but for games, I think more games would be possible.
Interesting find: A signed forum link produces a different forum than an unsigned link. However, an encrypted link and an unencrypted link produce the same forum.
I would keep it as it is now to prevent bad surprises. If you want to update the forum in a possibly breaking way, maybe do a new site type that you could call Forum 2.0 or such. Btw, are you able to add new features and site types to Nowhere without any existing link breaking?
