Has anyone thought of writing a database backend for Nostr? Like you could create different npubs for different DB tables, encapsulate whichever data types you like in normal notes, readable or encrypted. Then you can squat that database on public servers for free or host your own decentralized server network for mission-critical data.

Is there any benefit in this over hosting known DB software on normal servers, since you can HTTP-tunnel through Nostr as I heard?

You probably can't query a lot, although an interface could be added later on the server side if it doesn't already exist.

Also, database sizes can easily blow out of proportion if this catches on, so how would public servers deal with this?

I'm not very deep into the tech yet so forgive possible misunderstandings.
