I've started a few mini projects similar to this and then thought, what's the point. Remember VOIP on the lightning network?
Exploring the capabilities of nostr is very useful and it will be how other things are figured out. These sandboxes are fun but don't have to become fully fledged projects.
I'm also worried I'm becoming a grumpy old man like nyms I used to eye roll about when reading their tweets bitd.

Big brain cycle is to complain about things because they aren't done the way you know they should be done because I'M AN EXPKRT IN THESE THINGS, but not actually doing anything.
I do agree experimentation is useful, but some things will never produce useful results.
Sending data over Nostr is known to be inefficient: it has a lot of overhead for everyone involved.
While nostr identities as websites may be useful, this can be achieved in simpler ways like a replaceable event that has hostnames and have actual utility for things like relays with public key identities. (DNS/IP/I2P/Tor/etc addresses)
Exactly, this is why experimentation is valuable. Big brains have blind spots too and often big brains tend to have arrogance associated with them.
Experiments is valuable, so is not being afraid to call out bad ideas. Otherwise this place just becomes a massive circlejerk

group think is the enemy of innovation.
