Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Derek Ross derekross@grownostr.org 1 year ago

When someone tells you that Nostr is just a Twitter alternative, tell them that our developers are literally rebuilding the Internet.

After several weeks of persistent effort, I'm excited to share Nostr Web Services (NWS). NWS makes your web service reachable without having a publicly accessible IP address or DNS. All you need is an npub and a set of Nostr relays. A wide range of existing services could be run on NWS without requiring any significant changes. NWS achieves this by establishing a TCP connection between client and server which can be used by these applications. Please keep in mind, that the software is in a very early state and not even released yet. https://github.com/asmogo/nws

Unfortunately, you can't rebuild the Web without rebuilding the Browser. I don't see anyone picking up that tab. Until that happens, I'll remain highly skeptical.

wat. it seems to be abusing nostr relays for proxying traffic via ephemeral events. this is an attack on nostr, adds unnecessary load to already bandwidth-constrained public relays and makes them harder to run. I will have to add ephemeral note blocking to noteguard and strfry now =/

There's a similar problem with draft events. I would say this problem is not about ephemeral events specifically.

The main issue is I don't think I can block ephemeral events with strfry's write policies, but I could be wrong. I might need to update strfry. Draft spam is at least handled by rate limiting?

I may need to finish proxy mode in noteguard:
