Nothing forbids people from creating Nostr event kinds with code in them. Kind 5392 could be HTML code, 5393 CSS, and 5394 JavaScript. Then a Nostr-native browser can simply render events as if they were files on a regular webpage. The only difference is that now they can be stored in any existing relay.
Do you want to truly decentralize the web? Kill DNS.

DCDN... Distributed Content Delivery Notework

It is time to rebuild!
Did you mean kill CDN?
Caffeine's still kicking in... How does this replace DNS? Or maybe I'm misreading?
I like the idea of typed events, but do you really believe in a decentralized web? The first one was also meant to be decentralized. It ended hyper-centralized.
All file resolutions happen via Nostr event-finding protocols and not via DNS. Without webpages, no one needs DNS.
Ah ok, I gotcha. How would I connect to my first relay? 😅
That's not impossible, but changing browsers is a huge ask. Instead, I am opting for a PWA dashboard to manage all nostr WebApps.
What does PWA mean? Cross platform?
How easy is it for an average person to setup a relay at home? Is it possible to have a relay on a Synology NAS using Docker?
Progressive web applications are a functionality that allows you to transform your website into a standalone app, behaving just like a regular app. It is also cross platform.
I think relays can start publishing their IP with their pubkeys at some point..
Nostream has a docker build. Not 100% sure it would work on that NAS buuut it wouldent hurt to try.
Agora só falta se tornar pago tambem 😁😁😁😁
They really should.
That's cool! Is it working already? Maybe one day you can just shift to load those projects from event kinds the user follows :)
I built
https://nostrsites.com to render html and JavaScript code from nostr notes. Right now it uses kind 1 events, but if another kind is created to make this easier, that would be awesome
Just create another kind. If you create, I will try to use it.
Cool I’ll look into this. Never created a kind before 😅
Just change the integer from 1 to a number nobody uses. Then, if you want, describe the way to work with those events in a new NIP.
It not ready yet, but if you are using Android it kind of works. Sending you DM.
I’m prevented by being a beginner coder. The only language I know is #python and some #html
I bet 1k sats that someone will develop a Nostr DNS in less than 1 month by now :)
How can you properly sandbox the js without same origin policy and CSP?
Change to same-author policy? Things will need to be adapted, of course.
PWA, how secure is it? It the key online then or is it offline saved on login!
Wow. That’s a game changer.
Yes! All that would be left is to kill ICANN =3
View quoted note →Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Did
@fiatjaf accidentally reinvent the whole internet?
This is extremely interesting!
So this range is DVM territory now?
View quoted note →Why not just have one kind for HTML as it natively embeds the two other?
As for DNS, I think you gotta tear down SSL/CAs hierarchy as well.
Separate kinds was just easier to parse in my case. But it could be just one.
Yep, CAs are fully controlled by the state. So, sign me up :)
FYI, there is already a kind 30053 to replace DNS records in Nostr. Essentially pointing to an nevent gets redirected to an IP.
@someone and I were playing with it some months ago. We never finished it, but the idea is promising.
I used to pack/dist my apps as single file html's. Maybe still am, gotta check.
Meanwhile the folks over at Delta chat have been researching a distributable/minimal runtime format they call webxdc dot org.
Have you seen it?
Keep in mind that most relays limit events in 100K bytes. So having mulitple events to represent a page is better.
The concept is very cool! Maybe we can do a renderer in Amethyst for it. We need to figure out how to sandbox the html, though.
Oh, that's actually plenty of space! I'm trying to keep track of all free storages of at least 1K.
But yes, bootloading webxdc in amethyst would potentially bring games to nostr/steamstr.
Oh boy the deltas would pop a vein 😂
