This is what i see. Seems to work

Yes the entire note is in the url. Adding signature validation now

how long can an url / uri be these days? any rfc giving any limits and hints?

I like that!

Very cool. How does this work?

Cool but what's the use case?

Can you squeeze a whole thread in such a scheme?

Sharing notes outside of nostr clients reliably

might get too big?

So we don’t need relays now?

they had to go

Nostu

Very nice. Similar in concept to the # website thing a few months back.

Functional things 👏🏼

You can get it 23% smaller by doing raw DEFLATE on the content + tags: notepackz = base64( version + id + pubkey + sig + DEFLATE(content + tags) )

shouldn't be too hard to load profile json from damus.io links as well, since you can fetch profiles as json using notecrumbs

like embeding code (iframe) on blog or other social media?

yeah probably, notepack was more for efficient/simple binary encoding and less about packing the size smaller (probably bad name)

It matters if you put the whole thing in a URL, though. It's worth doing, I think?

You could share a note link any other link like njump except this will work instantly 100% of the time

have you actually compared size tho? notepack stores tag binary for hex ids, so it may be worse for notes with lots of id tags

Yeah I did, I had opus run through a handful of algorithms and raw deflate came out the best (zstd a close second).

Maybe for empty content its worse, but for your text post it's 23% better.

yeah can have a notepackz format as well

Very interesting shit sir🫡

I thought about that lol

It's worse on a per-bytes basis but it's less visible characters. Not really suitable for a URL. But I'm still looking for a reason to do it.

Were you inspired by my note or were you already working on it? Haha View quoted note →

i thought about it when i saw nevent1qqsf9cuent7n5ft97an2gnym7fgvp7suu2a0dsce9czl4xay4njdhjccsnfac and then your post reminded me to implement it and then your post reminded me to implement it

Nice.,

Cool, is this inspired by @5t34k’s nowhere?

Inspired from https://lnlink.org where i created stripe-inspired core-lightning payment links (commando connection string, product info, etc) from base64 encoded binary data in the url

I built Nowhere which lets you build webpages and share them in the link. It adds compression and you can fit a full page of text In a shareable URL.

GitHub

GitHub - 5t34k/nowhere: Nowhere encodes an entire website into a URL fragment. The site lives in the link itself and is never stored on a server. Eight tools (forum, event, fundraiser, store, petition, message, drop, art) publish without accounts or platform permission. Orders and messages route through Nostr relays using ephemeral keys.

I used deflate plus a dictionary swap of common words and URLs for compression on Nowhere. You can fit the data needed to create a site in the URL.

Good work. Now try putting the event in a structured data island.

I was thinking of it! Nowhere. Very inspiring.
