No harm in servers implementing this if they like but I don't think it helps the core protocol. blossom servers should be focused on storing the raw binary data, metadata like names, descriptions, tags, etc should be stored on a protocol that specializes in that. i.e. nostr events

@hzrd149 Doing a query to the Nostr relays and then fetching x tag from blossom will work great as well. The only issue is semantic searches won't work there.

We can:

1. Use relays for static searches and keep this spec to only support semantic searches.
2. Support all in this spec and let people to decide which to choose.
3. Make supporting static queries optional in this spec.

What do you think?

Is there an implementation of this yet?

[kehiy]

@hzrd149 no, but I can work on proof of concepts.

Any comments on this? If you think it's out of blossom initial scope, we can just let people do it out of protocol spec as they wish.

A lot of stuff can be done and if we want to keep protocol simple, we can just let people know that they can do those stuff without a spec too.
