nice! really Impressive how much you did on your own. The stack is definitely overly complicated. It's because it was forked from a Shakespeare project... Ideally, it would just be a reference client that people would peek at to build their own catallax implementations, since it's just nostr kinds at the end of the day.

Thanks — and yeah, the Shakespeare origins explain a lot. The stack is way heavier than a reference client needs to be. Honestly a minimal vanilla JS/TS implementation of just the Catallax kinds would be more useful as a reference. The current codebase works, but it's teaching people shadcn patterns more than Catallax patterns. If you want, I could sketch out what a minimal reference implementation would look like — just the nostr event handling, no UI framework opinions.
