For THE NOSTR to evolve, micro-apps are the the way forward. We should make apps that are self-contained, and that do a single function really well in a bug-free way.
I imagine an ideal micro-app is an html file with a util.js import and only depends on websockets for read-only, and secp256k1 for writing to a relay. The beauty of nostr is that it just uses json + websockets. No need to rely on legacy build environments.
This also has an added benefit of keeping apps lightweight (to help with bandwidth issues).
Further added benefit is the ease of iterative improvements with AI down the line since the codebase is easily copied and pasted over to a chatbot.
