Oddbean new post about login | logout not really a lot of difference, nip-98 is superior, scales better, can do more -- but it's nice to have more than one way of doing things we are all still learning -- most of this will get replaced in next generations, in any case.
one of the things i like about blossom is that it standardises CDN on nostr, while staying very simply. it end’s up being very much like how we interact with relays. in the future, i can also see how it would help us keep media in notes tamper-resistant.
This use case was always possible, and has already been standardized at the ietf in RFC 6920 for a decade. Blossom doesnt really standarize it, imho. It proposes an api which pollutes the namespace, and wont fly in certain deployment scenarios. But it is a system that works, and could perhaps be future-proofed with the use of reverse proxies. I wouldnt get too wedded to the system tho. There is sufficient technical debt that further iterations will be needed, imho.
