 I love reading posts like this (I only have a very basic understanding of computers, I don't code etc) but I'd like to know more. So reading your post, most of it might as well have been written in Swahili. Then I look at your user name and it makes me smile😬😂.

 Thanks for your time.  When developers make software, they cryptographically sign it to prove that they are the creator.  Just like Nostr.

But the public key for that encryption is on the same big cloud companies (Github) as the software itself.  So people have no way to verify that the developer made it.

One answer is everyone comes on Nostr, but this has things scrolling off the feed and requires each dev to have an account.  Instead, we have laid out all developer public keys on a 2nd new internet called IPFS that is even more difficult than Nostr to backdoor.  So it's a website, instead of a twitter feed for keys.

 Aah, right. Yes, that makes sense to my simple brain. Thanks for taking the time out to explain, I'll take a look.
