To build an effective, scalable, nostr, we need to go back to first principles. Brain dump:

- The web is based on the URI, HTTP and HTML
- It is the URI that ties the whole web together aka The Hyperlink
- Adding hyperlinks to a document or data allows it to be web scale
- The web enabled a syntax to allow hyperlinks to be added to docs
- The web enabled a syntax to allow hyperlinks to be added to data
- Data and documents are different things
- Data is real data, meta data and headers are for documents
- Hyperlinks are global variables aka super keys
- Typed links are also part of the web
- The order of hyperlinks is generally not recorded in a document
- All hyperlinks in a document form a Set
- Nostr is a subset of HTTP, using the websockets protocol
- Nostr transmits notes from one user to another, using relays
- Adding hyperlinks to nostr allows it to be web scale
- Data should be separate from transport
- Nostr has unique users which are also a pubkey
- A user can have a list of things as an array
- An array of things can have a user

From these simple principles a web scale flavour of nostr can be delivered
