Thoughts on URI

First we need a URI spec for Nostr, maybe a simple NIP like BIP 21 identifying a few Nostr schemas. IIRC they don’t need to be final.

Then;

Anyone with the patience of an elephant and experience with browser’s politics willing to file tickets on Chromium, Mozilla, and Webkit/Apple's repos for “nostr:” URI? This will require a lot of wiki style politiquing. Literally hell. So a white knight is required.

If you work at any of these entities, I’d love to enlist you. ;)

Sounds like when we had to convince the OSM mods that we needed Lightning tags. Max pain.

URIs seem inherently incompatible with the core concept of nostr which is lacks the "universal" component and separates content from location.

This would be an amazing and heroic feat indeed.

I remember working with amir on the bitcoin: uri scheme for a bit, back in the day But I think it eventually got white listed in the browsers This is very premature, it would take a few more years to get to that point, imho

The nostr: uri already works to deeplink into apps tho doesn’t it? I wrote a quick app to test it out (although only tested on Damus) Add your npub to npu.bz/… eg https://npu.bz/npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8
