What if building nostr apps took a few lines of code ? As easy as it was to build a website back in the day. A new browser for interoperable apps without legacy web baggage. Built in bitcoin wallet, local relay, signer, outbox, for all apps. Offline first, Cross-app coordination via the local relay. This is gonna be wild View quoted note →

How would a local relay work? What’s the use? Other users wouldn’t see the posts, unless it’s just a backup or smth?

Another use case is private LANs. I know some remote farms that might benefit from this.

did you see beaker browser? it was a p2p browser based on the dat protocol. ironically I think the dev is working on bsky these days. anyway I love this idea. thanks for planting the seed, I’m gonna marinate on this one.

The easier you can make it to iterate on entrepreneurial opportunities the better What's particularly cool here is the interoperability of it Do the work well, do it once, and then everyone can benefit from it This is capital creation at it's best

A future where everyone is using Nostr, but they don't really even know it. They're just being social on the Internet.

I get that and you're not wrong in some ways. But when you were talking about the technical difficulties you were overcoming (I think it was about paging large amounts of data between disk/memory) with the new Notedeck, there was so much overlap with the problems we're solving. and our final goals are essentially identical, especially with what you're saying in this note.

if you mean "at the level of sitting down and writing code, there is no distinction between on disk and in memory", then sure. there are some other similarities, but less than you (seem to) think.

It makes sense. The project did sort of grow out of Urbit, but there are fundamental differences in my mind that are less salient to people who haven't gone deep on Urbit and Pallas - this is very understandable. There are only maybe a few dozen people on Earth who could articulate the nitty-gritty differences between Urbit and Pallas, even though they seem huge to me lol The technical docs are the best writeup we have:
System Overview | Pallas documentation
Pallas is a stack of technologies. At the bottom lies PLAN, an evaluation model. On top of PLAN we have two separate stacks: on one hand Rex and Si...
 but there's also this (sort of old now) comparison of Urbit and our project (which at the time we were referring to as "Plunder"):
Vaporware Blog
Plunder, explained for Urbit users
This article is a high level introduction to Plunder for the interested Urbit user. Plunder is fundamentally working towards a similar set of goals...

All that said, if you ever wanted to talk shop in realtime, myself and my cofounders would love to shoot the future-of-the-internet-and-computing shit with you sometime. shoot me a DM if you want to schedule something!
