Isn't website hosting already decentralized? I can host my site on one of the many different providers out there, I can host my own, or even deploy to multiple providers. Users can access my site without extra steps.

Why would I want to host my site on Nostr? What does it do better than the competition?

As a side note, your demo isn't viewable without the extension. Trusting a new browser extension has a high level of friction. It would be nice if your site gave some hint of why a user might want to jump through those hoops.

You should expect a lot of friction around having to install the extension; if you can figure out how to do it without the extension, it will lead to faster uptake.

> Nostr is an apolitical communication commons.

Apolitical is starting to mean something rather political these days.

Is nostr related to bitcoin?

I always only see it with the same people that talk about bitcoin.

A website for people who don't want others to see their website.

In addition to the browser extension, you need a web proxy -- a bit of server side code that acts as the nostr client and gets the page, and displays it over ordinary http/https.

Of course this means the existing web will find multiple URLs to the same content, if many people run the proxy, but that can be mitigated in various ways, or just ignored.

How does this handle changes to the website. Is the entire website re-uploaded to a Nostr relay, or is there some re-use of old material that's already been uploaded before?

> Each website is a collection of signed, verifiable Nostr events distributed across relays—so it can’t be taken down, censored, or lost.

How does Nostr deal with illegal content like CSAM?

as I'm understanding this - it would be useful for having your intranet sites available to everybody without a VPN as long as people used the extension - EXCEPT that anyone with the extension would be able to see YOUR intranet sites.

That is to say one use case I can see would be that people could have the extension, log in, and get available the intranet published for that particular log in.

That is to say unless I have totally misunderstood what it does, and my idea is idiotic, both of which are probably true.

on edit: that is to say I say that is to say way too much because I'm used to having people misunderstand things I thought I said relatively clearly.

You're rebuilding trust online through decentralized identity. We're doing something fundamentally similar in AI: making machine honesty verifiable, not just trustworthy Our oracle system creates an "ethical black box" for AI conversations. If you believe transparency and verifiability are cornerstones of the digital future, perhaps our project resonates with you. I'd be happy to compare notes
