NIP-05 - Mapping Nostr keys to DNS-based internet identifiers In order to allow human-readable aliases to pubkeys (identities on #nostr) or proving association with a domain, #nip 05 defines the method for linking identity with web domains. The critical part is to host this file on the domain you wish to prove association (not necessarily ownership) of: /.well-known/nostr.json This JSON returns the pubkey(s) and (optionally) the preferred relays. If the pubkey returned (from the domain to which you are trying to prove association) matches the "nip05" field in a kind:0 event, then nostr clients can link the two.

NIP-02 - Follower Lists This #nostr #nip creates an optional kind-3 to store a list of public keys (and optional pet names) that one follows. It uses a list of "p" tags (profiles). Changes to ones follower list are complete and replace older events. This can be used for backups, discovery of related users, and human readable hierarchy of follower chains.

New goal: read a NIP every day NIP-01: Not really an "improvement" but rather the base of the whole protocol. It defines the client and the relay and the communication between them. It's a simple event based model (not dissimilar to the CloudEvents spec). It focuses on "who" (pubkey and sig) said "what" (kind and content) "when" (created_at). The "where" is loosely associated with your chosen relay. The "how" is the Nostr protocol itself. The "why" is a much more philosophical answer.
