| > KHTML is a discontinued browser engine that was developed by the KDE         |
| project. It originated as the engine of the Konqueror browser in the late      |
| 1990s, but active development ceased in 2016. It was officially discontinued   |
| in 2023. [...] Built on the KParts framework and written in C++, KHTML had     |
| relatively good support for Web standards during its prime. Engines forked     |
| from KHTML are used by most of the browsers that are widely used today,        |
| including WebKit (Safari) and Blink (Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge,  |
| Opera, Vivaldi and Brave).                                                     |

| all good networks converge to a tree. Nostr is no exception.                   |

| to rely on a cache relay for certain things like global search is no weakness, |
| but the good apps are which can tolerate and re-shape their network topology   |
| based off of the current situation                                             |

| You use a search tool to find books.                                           |
|                                                                                |
| You go to a library to read the book.                                          |
|                                                                                |
| If you care you add it to your own collection as well or share it with your    |
| friend group.                                                                  |

| What I meant there was security keys before resident credentials. The          |

| Have both. They solve their own use cases.                                     |
|                                                                                |
| When you want to search the world’s largest library that’s the tradeoff you    |
| are making.                                                                    |
|                                                                                |
| But once you find it, or get a book from a friend for example, you put it in   |
| your indexedDB database and congrats.                                          |
|                                                                                |
| I personally envision the hierarchy ad follows                                 |
| - Indexers, that have almost everything. They are the Google of Nostr. People  |
| push their events here and others find them.                                   |
| - Large relays, which serve large communities. Think Nostr.land, Damus, etc.   |
| These are hubs for retrieving content in bulk.                                 |
| - Community relays. These can be self-hosted or hosted in the cloud. People    |
| push from here to large relays and from large relays to here, what they care   |
| about.                                                                         |
| - Local cache. This is the user’s own space and that is it.                    |
|                                                                                |
| The ideal relays would be:                                                     |
| - indexer: custom software                                                     |
| - large relays: strfry on medium end, NFDB and possible other options at large |
| end                                                                            |
| - community relays: could be a mix of strfry, NFDB, realy, nostrdb-based       |
| - local relays: nostrdb, indexedDB-based                                       |
|                                                                                |
