What if 7zip would marry NOSTR? The result would would be ZX. A way to compress and decompress folders with far better compression ratios than other compressors and even monster-compression when you go nuts and feed 32GB RAM to the tool. NOSTR is used for signing the archive, writing comments and defining who can add new files. Also features other things like a SQLite database inside each archive and tools for finding files based on SHA256 and similarity inside the archive. Below is the preview of the web client using an old desktop theme for fun. The work is still beta, more will be released until the end of this month. I bet this is something where you'd never expect to see NOSTR used.
