Yeah notedeck was built like this from the ground up, and damus ios is in the process of switching to it.

p2p is still hard. I’m looking into local sync using negentropy (

quoting nevent1q…uvv6

I have multiple devices streaming in notes via notedeck: my samsung tablet, my desktop, my android phone, my macbook, my linux notebook.

It will be cool if these auto-sync’d with each other on the local network using negentropy.

Since each client runs an embedded relay (nostrdb) then each node can serve requests to other nodes.

This would be a good testbed for an initial p2p-style version of nostr. Making it work over a globally routed network is a harder problem, but for local sync it might be useful for quicky getting up to date without needing to ask the outside world.

This is a toy version of the idea of ICN: information-centric networking, where any network request can be sourced from router caches on a closer network first.

) but relays aint going away

Martti Malmi (npub1g53…drvk) has been looking into webrtc p2p stuff. Still early days
