The future of Nostr might not actually be for microblogging but instead as a cross-platform generic sync API for any type of small data. I know this was baked into the original idea, but the more I think about it, the more it feels like a unique solution to several things.

haven’t dabled enough with Nostr, but that does makes sense: a kind of general purpose network?

Manton Reece

@t3mujin Pretty much, yeah. It wouldn’t work for everything but there are a few things it could be very well suited for. And it can start small because apps can also run their own custom Nostr relays.

Chad Kohalyk

like an IPFS alternative? (Thinking of Subconscious specifically in syncing notes across apps)

Laurens Hof

@manton what sort of solutions would you be thinking about roughly?

Manton Reece

@laurenshof I was thinking notes sync, to-dos, favorite settings… Anything that is small and could be used across apps.

Laurens Hof

@manton oh interesting, hadnt been thinking in that direction
