For other apps to debug and come to conclusions, right?

Riiiiight? :padme:

Huh? I don't know if it's me or if you're contradicting yourself here?

So let's be practical:
How can the Zapstore community announce that it has Apps?

Without apps having to randomly query the relay for event kinds, that might not even be targeted to the actual community, that is.

True story.
And chat only works if the relay's up.

Then step away from having the relay BE the community and just let communities use a main relay as infrastructure, just as they also use a blossom server etc...

Then, let community specify which list of profiles can write in what content section.

And have one UX flow to join any of these white-lists. Transparent, not opaque stuff relay-side.

There is way to be non-messy guys.

Have one event that specifies the content sections of the community.

Rooms can be such content sections.
Forum posts another, Apps another, Polls another, Repos another...

Whatever the community wants to cater to. Let them announce that.

The daily drivers do NOT have to support every root kind. They only have to be really good in the comments/reactions/zaps around the root kinds (+ good in chat too).

Heads up, I'm gonna hopefully come up with a way to have Nip29-style Chat Rooms as something you can make part of a wider content-type Community (that also is an App catalog, can have actual Forum, etc...).

Really do think there might be a way. And I see the benefits of some Nip29 relay-specific things, for rooms only tho
