Nostr, an open source database?
summary
Claims that Nostr is a decentralized, open-source data layer where every record is signed by a user (pubkey verification), stored on many independent relays and indexed by 65,536 kinds. Demonstrates building a real app stack using Shakespeare AI generator, Nostr Hub, relay-kit and Blossom pointers, publishes a working “presentation app” as an endsite on Nostr, notes no hard size limits, relay variability, and multi-relay (RAID) writes for redundancy.
