This Realy Protocol is actually pretty interesting and has a bunch of good ideas: https://github.com/mleku/realy-protocol

been making a bunch of revisions to https://protocol.realy.lol - my "reimagining" of the nostr protocol

still some ways to go before i'm finished revising the message format and i've realised that i need to eliminate message headers for requests with actual RESTful HTTP paths, because these headers on the requests are really redundant if they are tied to a specific "endpoint"

REST doesn't say anything about the use of push-enabling websockets, so it's not quite a REST protocol but for everything that fits that model it's REST

at some point in the day after i have done a bunch of tedious work these days and caring for my kitteh i feel the need to completely break from the routine so i'm going to play some more immersive game than the kingdom 2 crowns i play in between bouts of nostr and work on this stuff

i think i'm getting better at managing two separate streams with my work stuff (did a little bit on it today) and my pet project/#gitcitadel related work

lunch is coming up imminently also, and partly i am becoming aware of this because i'm feeling a bit antsy and my cat is now eating the last bit of beef chunks left in his bowl... i might put another piece on

#realy is pretty much at MVP grade for me now, late beta, and it needs a big code review and refactoring but nobody's paying me for that and it works and is giving me a direct personal benefit in combination with https://jumble.social #jumble for having better control over the social comms in my life

life is getting better

i'm sure it will continue to get better, also, because i'm listening to the feedback


I wouldn't say we should abandon Nostr and use this, because actually the differences are subtle and it's not worth throwing everything away, but if you're into the Nostr protocol thinkings and workings you can certainly learn something from it. Notably, the shameless heterogeneity of relays.
