Here are some thoughts to kick off the discussion:

I’ve seen a lot of discussion in the Nostr community about the limits of relay scaling — it seems like Nostria is tackling this issue head-on. I'm curious to know if others here have experimented with similar peer-to-peer models.

I'm also wondering about offline message delivery, which I see as a potential challenge. How might a fully P2P protocol handle delayed delivery, especially for mobile users?

Lastly, is it a fair concern that removing relays could increase complexity for developers who are used to the current Nostr model?

I would love to hear how others are thinking about the trade-offs of decentralisation in social protocols.

Thanks!

We can't wait to test Nostria's fully peer-to-peer design in an environment that shares our values of decentralisation and freedom.

If you're interested in finding out more or would like to support the project, please take a look at our early fundraiser: https://www.nostria.app/funding.

We would love to hear your thoughts!
