Thanks hzrd149 (npub1ye5…knpr) for building blossom-server!
It was super-easy to set up and get running. What's cool is it has discovery built-in: if I request a file that wasn't uploaded, the server would search for it by hash on nostr using file metadata events, and if the file is found elsewhere - would cache and return it.
That helps Npub.pro (npub1pr4…mkzp) sites work reliably. They fetch theme assets (templates etc) from blossom servers. If one is down, the engine now falls back to a couple known servers with discovery enabled, and will eventually do the discovery by itself. Blossom is early, but already very useful, and nostr-based websites would make much less sense without it!
