 Idea: a #nostr event kind for leaving a comment on a web page.

Web pages could embed some metadata[1] to say “discuss this on Nostr” and plugins could query known/approved relays for comments.

Could include a “selection” metadata to reply to a particular part of the content.

 [1]: Why include metadata? Well, the alternative would be for Nostr to constantly be sending your web history to relays as you browse the majority of sites without any comments on them. Metadata lets you opt in. And could let sites control (w/ optional client support) which comments/relays appear by default. Would probably be good to have it specify a canonical URL so all discussions end up w/ the same tag, too.
