idk even where to start

the biggest problem of nostr is the inconsistencies of JSON codecs

with the exception of web apps and nodejs backends every case is one implementation vs another

IMO, nostr will start to mature when it uses a modern encoding and API

events, the canonical encoding, the filter and the envelope are all really ragged crappy designs that are really badly underspecified

thus, it is common at this time, to build the two things at the same time, to get the best mesh

this is the thing

when you are a programmer, you don't build the input and output separately, they are part of the same system

but that's exactly where we are
