 This is an interesting new spec that will allow you to make threaded replies to pretty much anything: geographical areas, websites, hashtags/topics, urls, podcasts, books, movies, papers.

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1233

right now you can really only make threaded replies to kind1 notes and trying to do it on other things is kind of janky. generic comments fixes this. 
 Great idea 💡 
 Wasn't fountain doing something like this? 
 nostr has the capability of integrating so many things. The devs are doing a great job creating, we just need more integration in Primal, Damus, etc. 
 I hope the big ones adopt this even for replies to kind 1. Huge data savings for root only feeds. 
 It would be a terrible breaking change. Less active clients would have their user wonder where all the people went as nobody would reply to them anymore.

To fix this I suggest to add some "level" to kind-1 events. Root events should have a tag "l", "0" with replies omitting this or better yet setting the distance to the root so you can query all first level replies easily, too. 
 I realize this would lead to modern clients having to set but not use l-tags in queries until wide adoption was achieved. Else they would not see legacy client root events. 
 I THINK THIS IS PRETTY FREAKING COOL - SINCE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO READ CODE - I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ALL THE GITHUB STUFF SAYS BUT THE IDEA SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER FOR NOSTR AS A WHOLE AND FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU ALL!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! 
 Thanks man, and thanks for the zap 🤙 
 THANK YOU!!! YOU ALL ARE KILLING IT!!! I AM JUST SO HAPPY YOU AND OTHERS ARE OUT THERE DOING THIS FOR THE DUMMY’S LIKE ME!!! 
 With chatgpt or some other Ai it becomes easier to understand everything you say, don't be discouraged 
 THANKS I HADN’T EVEN THOUGHT OF TRYING TO USE THEM FOR THIS…APPRECIATE YOU!! 
 Gracias a ti ⚡️😘 
 There are good people left in this world 👏 
 Modular threads… maybe how the original threads should’ve been built? Hindsight is 20/20. Cool idea. 
 Yeah i personally don’t think fetching root notes separately is a huge deal, so meh

 This could be the death of centralised marketplaces…. Every eBay listing for example: here is a permissionless mechanism outside of eBay’s control for direct communication between buyer and seller. The only thing they have in common is a shared interest in the listed item… interesting game theory there 
 yes nostr kills most centralized web things 
 Please make it so. I was thinking about renting a car on Turo last night and there is no way to contact the owner to ask questions. Their solution is you need to book it and then you can ask your questions. Only in the FIAT realm does that make sense. 
 Came out of the discussion on moving Kind 01 out of NIP-01. Will Kind 1111 then be referenced in NIP-01 or does that need to be completely note-free?

What if there were a way to leave comments at particular timestamps of a movie file that was posted? Like a running chat thread through every movie.

 Ohh, lots of cool stuff this could be applied to. Sounds great for bandwidth optimization too.
