"Humble Horse is an experiment in making nostr into a giant group chat with no global state. Instead of creating discrete groups like telegram, every nostr thread is a group.

The problem with telegram groups is the velocity is either too slow to be interesting or too fast to be useful.

The goal here is to be able to "move" the nostr client throughout the nostrverse to dynamically create "groups" with the right velocity of content, and to present the user with the best "groups" based on the interests (as demonstrated through their engagement with others).

Bloom filter events (NIP coming soon) are used to prevent the user seeing "groups" more than once (if they have scrolled past them and shown no interest).

Users will also be encouraged to reply in an existing group rather than creating a new air reply, we do this by presenting them with existing groups that are similar to whatever they have started writing in the message input box."
