Lots of misconceptions here. If you're interested in learning more I'd highly recommend reading up a bit, https://nostr.how (disclaimer, I'm the maintainer of that site).

Nope – it is its own thing. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

Jack Dorsey funded some of the early development through a grant. Nostr has no co-founders or CEO. It's a protocol, not a company.

Still waiting on the Algolia docsearch team to get me some api keys.

Agreed. Damus is great. Iris.to is probably the easiest to use web client.

I’m the dev behind Nostr.how. I’d love to hear your feedback on how I can make the site more clear/better at explaining Nostr.

That said, while I am not the core dev on the protocol or any client/relay it’s been awesome to see the points of confusion from the comments and questions here. Keep them coming - great fodder for new guides.

Yup spot on. The main issue though is that if you want to ensure that you have absolutely unassailable content, you need to run you own relay that ensures all your events are stored. You can’t assume that the relays you connect to via clients are perfect.

I imagine relay services will get better over time here but something to be aware of.
