iefan 🕊️ on Nostr: When Semisol says all websites are insecure and can be backdoored by a developer ...
When Semisol says all websites are insecure and can be backdoored by a developer unilaterally at will, he's absolutely correct.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Here's how I'm addressing it with NostrHub:
By bundling my website with its code and turning it into a single executable file, when the file is clicked, it opens the NostrHub page in your browser.
The key part: instead of using my server, hosting, and domain, it uses your NostrHub bundle and runs locally on your device, no server or setup required. Think of it like self-hosting on steroids.
Once you download the website bundle, the developer has no further control over it. The user truly has full control, which is extremely rare on the web. Even if the developer is compromised, no backdoors can be added.
To update, you simply download the updated bundle and replace the previous one.
This approach may not sound flashy, but it genuinely addresses a fundamental issue with the web as a whole.
So far
Achieved: Unified dashboard for all my Nostr apps.
In progress: Reducing domain dependency.
Added: Quick shortcuts for Nostr backups, publishing notes & blogs, and accessing zPay.live purchases.
