I regularly find myself on the internet archive hoping to find a working copy of a page created ten-plus years ago. Page rot, SEO spam, walled gardens, and AI generated nonsense are all converging to suck the value out of the WWW. Projects like this give me a little hope that blogging can make a comeback. NIP-13 [1] also has the ability to use POW to limit bot activity. Thanks for sharing! [1] https://github.com/nost…

Unlike web scraping where spaghetti logic is required to follow abstracted JS links, archival of nostr events can be as simple as running a relay and mirroring blog content.[1][2] nostr does a lot of what NNTP did but with additional flexibility.

For that you will need to connect to all relays in existence, right?

I love distributed, server-less hosting concepts. Very cool project idea!

What others do you know of, or is there a resource to find out more?

Off the top of my head: Hypercore (DAT), GUN, Secure Scuttlebutt, IPFS, PPPP, Bamboo, BlueSky, Spritely Goblins...

If this is your jam, check out DWeb camp, put on by the Internet Archive, there will be a lot of us decentralized web technologist there.

Users currently tend to push events to massive relays but decentralization is still a goal:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/65.md

Still, the short answer to your question would be "yes."

The fact the "I hate NPM" section is so simple makes me wonder why npm was involved at all. I also deeply hate NPM. (Normalizing NPM is a hazard to society) So maybe I'm biased...

Pip is genuinely worse
