Can you take a look at this NIP proposal please? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/31 (sorry for the mess, that is a PR from the bolt.fun guy to another branch that had the original proposal from me, but you'll get the idea)

I'm hoping Stacker News could publish events that would conform to that NIP and reference URLs (since all stacker.news comments already are references to URLs) and also to previous events when necessary. Then these events could show up in clients like Damus with the URL context attached to them. That would be pretty nice already.

Stacker News doesn't have to "run a relay" for this, it can just listen to Nostr requests from clients, conjure the events based on data from its internal database and return these to clients, and never accept any event from the outside (although in the future you might want to accept comments to Stacker News posts that come from the external Nostr network based on whatever criteria you choose).

If you could comment there on that proposal just to make sure we aren't missing anything that could be specified better that would be great.
