lagrange VS nostr

I've proposed such solution in Lagrange feature request. What do you think?

Using a terminal, the old lynx browser is probably the most widely available and user-friendly client.

If you want a GUI, Skyjake's Lagrange browswer is beautiful and available for Linux, Mac, and Windows: https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

Lagrange is sort of the Netscape of Gemini. It works on all the major desktop and mobile OSes. Personally prefer Elaho (iOS) or Buran (Android) for mobile

So for the uninitiated like myself,

this is hosted on Github at:

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

And is a client for a new internet protocol that is "heavier than Gopher, but lighter than the web". Discussed here:

https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

I'd start by checking out Antenna:

https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/warmedal.se/~antenna/

It's an aggregator of sorts, but with a bit of a twist.

Clients, for the terminal I recommend Amfora

and Lagrange is a great GUI client

Communication, there's an informal way of addressing other gemlogs using 'RE: '. It's fraught with issues, as I have discussed. There's IRC (#gemini on tilde.chat) and Usenet (comp.infosystems.gemini) now that the mailing list (itself a potent source of drama) has gone to the great bitbucket in the sky.<p><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Re-re-re-considered-harmful.gmi" rel="nofollow">https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux...</a>

Other things that might be worth looking into: Nostr for comms https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr

nostr (https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr) seems to be a minimal possible solution. It doesn't seem to be much in use though, so I guess once that happens a few issues will come up.

Nostr [1] seems interesting. I don't trust the idea of "relays" on the long term but it seems like it should be possible to develop alternative ways to distribute the content, and it can be a way to bootstrap the network in the short term. Though at this moment it seems a bit too bare-bones, and it would need some interesting application built on top of it to make it usable.

https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr comes to mind as so far the best example of p2p social networking.

I don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for because it’s not tied to a cryptocurrency but take a look at nostr: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr

It’s a protocol that allows nodes to gossip event messages amongst each other. The event relays can be used as a backend to provide data to your web/desktop/mobile apps.

Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is a new type of social experience on the web where "dumb" relays can be used to send messages from one user to another, in a secure, censorship resistant manner.
