oh, that thingy.
well. i have a lil story behind it.
i was only doing a normal posting as usual, but then plebstr randomly decide to set the deleted flag to become true on my profile, which makes my account unusable only in plebstr & i can't login to that and only app because "my account was deleted".
just so you know, i never asked or pressing a button to delete my account on any clients.
so i began reading the nostr protocol manual a bit, try dissect what's on me that cause the client to always kick me out for "being deleted".
and then i found deletion is just a flag. so then i start making a simple ass web app. initially it is baf, but then it went quite good that i announce it.

That’s a great story. I was actually trying to implement a new version of this into an app I built but I’ve been running into an issue where some clients still see the profile as deleted and don’t allow it to sign in.
the problem is that some clients forcefully enforcing the gossip relay model that's usually not letting you to disable it, which makes it even harder for advanced users because gossip model means that your events are being spread on relays that you don't even know, and it's riskier when you don't even agree on some relay's policies on your notes.
which is why i strongly not recommend it. it's painful in the ass once you had this very specific problem.
you having a bouncer like bostr, they still let you to know what was being broadcasted and where it was being broadcasted, but gossip, it's very random.
years ago when i was still active, you saw me not happy about the gossip model, especially for mobile data user.
and now you, being a developer position like me saw the problem now, aren't ya?
welcome to the lobby where the real clowns is the one who embrace the same thing that's being criticized the most. now you are on my position where you saw the problem that i see.
