nsite.lol is a gateway, it requires a subdomain. There is no "real showcase," just a list of tools for a young ecosystem. Gateways should have simple homepages.
What happens if the gateway goes down?
edit: okay, I guess you could use another gateway (assuming there is one), but sounds to me like access to any nsite still depends on going through a gateway and if there aren't many, they will be a bottleneck since they are serving all the content, no?

nostr all the things?I personally don't expect that it will ever grow out of its extremely narrow niche, but niches need progress too; per @Car's link of David Bowie earlier (#1018328) "the singularity [of society] disappeared [in the 70s]", which enabled the success of the Internet, which in turn "shows us we live in total fragmentation".
I think that if a group of people wants to build an alternative way of running the (read: their) web and fuck with that, then more power to them. Do I think nostr is a good protocol for this? Of course not.
ws and json are terribly inefficient standards, in some ways equal to or even worse than really bad bloated crap I hope to never have to touch again, like soap.But as a localized wish, sounds good, and if some breakthrough gets made because of all the crazy inefficiency of the protocols implicitly targeted, then that can be good for a larger-than-local group.
