just used mkstack to create a nostr directory app. fucking blows me away how many working nostr features i get out of the box. cost me around 9 usd on openrouter. i get the whole nostr sign in with extension shenanigans, submitting notes to a relay and then reading them in right away. plus the whole ux is way smoother than i would have manually created it agonizing over tailwind. am i ready for the one command deploy?

makes sense. asking mainly, because it's a need for bookmarking too and i haven't figured out the best approach to enable private bookmarks. was thinking one off key pairs, but a painful to manage or encryption which would have to be resistant against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. trying to figure out if the mls tools would help here.

does this need encryption or public notes is fine?

this reminds me of something i just read about the japanese word "majime", which is something like earnest striving. https://www.persuasion.community/p/in-defence-of-striving
