What is wrong with dumb relay, smart client? Isn't that the essence of Nostr?

Even if you improve user retention you will have users bind to a smart relay, essentially a silo... Or is there something I'm missing and you will be able to preserve things like censorship resistance?

Should we promote share as the primary way to onboard users from the web? It seems like the most effective tool to replace manual copy-pasting, making the transition from a browser to a Nostr client seamless for new users. I’m building a project right now and hit this exact wall. It’s easy to fix. I’ve just drafted a solution and shared it as NIP-222 on GitHub: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2266 This would be a massive win for your client and the ecosystem as a whole. Take a look, would love to hear your thoughts on pushing this forward.
