👉Core Features
1. Decentralized Movie Database (Nostr)
• Movie and TV show metadata (titles, cast, director, release dates, summaries) stored as Nostr events.
• Each movie or show has a unique public key (npub) as an identifier.
• Users can sign and verify reviews using their Nostr keys.
2. User-Generated Ratings & Reviews
• Users post ratings and reviews as Nostr notes.
• These are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity.
• Other users can “like” or “zap” (Lightning tip) good reviews.
3. Lightning Zaps for Engagement
• Users zap their favorite reviews, incentivizing high-quality content.
• Movie producers or independent filmmakers can receive direct support through Lightning payments.
• Pay-to-Unlock features for exclusive reviews or behind-the-scenes content.
4. Decentralized Search & Filtering
• Relays store and serve movie/show data.
• Users query relays for trending movies, highly rated films, or niche categories.
5. P2P Movie Recommendations
• Users follow other trusted reviewers.
• Content discovery via zapped posts and social graph recommendations.
6. Lightning Paywalls for Premium Content
• Critics or filmmakers can charge small sats for in-depth reviews or early access to indie films.
7. Nostr Relays as Content Hosts
• Some relays could store trailers, posters, or even short indie films, while others focus on text-based metadata.
👉Potential Benefits
• No central authority controlling content.
• Direct peer-to-peer monetization (no ad-driven models).
• Censorship-resistant movie discussions.
• Transparent and verifiable ratings.
