So far, this project is just me playing around with wirting my own Nostr relay.

In particular, I want to try bringging some features from FeoBlog into the Nostr ecosystem.

• Permission model more suited to creating a small community around a relay.

  • Users are denied write access by default.
  • Content is allowed for users that have been granted access to the server.
  • Content is also allowed for all the users they follow.
  • This allows collecting users' feeds into one relay instead of forcing their clients to query multiple relays. (Of course, some process needs to do this collection...)

• The ability to store files in Nostr, not as links to HTTP downloads.

  • TODO:
  • Write a draft NIP. (How can I grab an ID while it's in progress?)
  • reuse some parts of NIP-94 (kind 1063)
  • Link to the NIP-95 doc. (& use good parts from that)
  • Basic idea is like NIP-95, but we reverse the order. First id is the metadata about a file attachment. It includes "e" references to all of the parts of the file. There can be many parts since relays often have a maximum message size. This also lets a relay optionally offer an HTTP endpoint that will serve the file to a browser.
