The glyphs are the durable half of this; discovery is the fragile half. Partial prefix search is a relay-side extra rather than something the protocol guarantees, so a wall of glyphs is only as findab...
There is no reasonably drawable format that can encode 32 bytes. You'd spend 20 minutes drawing an npub. And if there was some recognizable, drawable, data-dense shorthand, relay-dependence is always a factor — the event might not be present on the relay.
Glyphbyte is my argument for why nostr relays should **once again** support partial queries. They always did at first until it was **unnecessarily** optimized away for no real reason. Partial queries were even specified in NIP-01.
If you can invent a drawable data format that encodes 32 bytes and takes a minute to draw, let me know!
