Unlike most apps, which rely on centralised message hubs, Nostria (https://nostria.app/) uses a fully peer-to-peer approach to scale communication across the network.
Led by long-standing open-source contributor Sondre Bjellås, the team is now seeking to raise $30k in a pre-seed funding round to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) and initiate user acquisition.

We would love to get feedback from the SN community:
  • What do you think of the approach?
  • Are there any technical issues you can see?
  • Is anyone here experimenting with alternative Nostr architectures?

Here are some thoughts to kick off the discussion:
I’ve seen a lot of discussion in the Nostr community about the limits of relay scaling — it seems like Nostria is tackling this issue head-on. I'm curious to know if others here have experimented with similar peer-to-peer models.
I'm also wondering about offline message delivery, which I see as a potential challenge. How might a fully P2P protocol handle delayed delivery, especially for mobile users?
Lastly, is it a fair concern that removing relays could increase complexity for developers who are used to the current Nostr model?
I would love to hear how others are thinking about the trade-offs of decentralisation in social protocols.
