Nostr is a subset of http. That means that everything nostr can do, http can do. We just didnt realize it. That's good news, because http has scaled to 5.3 billion people. Whereas nostr is stable at 50k users. All you need to do take what you learnt on nostr, not be solely dependent on relays, and bring your apps to the other 5 billion people.

@melvincarvalho, you keep saying this but we SHOULD HAVE CAUTION. Either the Nostr protocol will be adopted (and Nostr “relay data” will be incorporated) into “regular” HTTP web apps, or Nostr will forever be niche. Because this largely depends on how easy it is to integrate Nostr… and Nostr integration is becoming easier and easier… these “hybrid” Nostr apps will only become more and more common. While this path MAY be inevitable, it MAY ALSO be at the cost of online sovereignty, and what makes Nostr “freedom tech”. These “black box” hybrid apps (which is how the BIG players will adopt Nostr) will end up using Nostr as little more than a “login protocol” and the actual user data will STILL BE INACCESSIBLE from outside their walled gardens. While a “universal login” (where actual user accounts are not owned by a single platform and may be accessed across ALL platforms) MAY SEEM attractive to many users and businesses, convenience does NOT equate to sovereignty. Relays are the backbone of freedom technology. Without a decentralized network (where user data MAY be stored and accessed across ANY number of independently owned servers at the whim of the END USER) freedom tech WILL DIE.
