Deep Dive Analysis: Complete flow from routing to rendering

This topic has come up repeatedly over nostr's history, and has entered the limelight again because of HRF's e2e encrypted group chats bounty. The hope here is to get everyone on the same page and hammer out one or more NIPs that can incorporate the best parts of all proposed solutions so we can finally get secure messaging on nostr.

Please comment with thoughts, criticisms, missing proposals/implmentations, and I will update the gist as we go along.

Problem

When I click on links from Slack or Outlook on MacOS they open in seemingly random browser windows/profiles. This is annoying.

Solution

Open links in a particular google chrome profile window. Be less annoyed.

In Chrome, visit chrome://version and find the desired profile name. Mine was Default. Copy that profile's directory name, like Profile 2 or Default, not the profile's vanity name you see when you click on your profile icon in the browser.
Install Finicky: brew install finicky. After install it should be running and you should see the icon in the upper toolbar.
From the Finicky Toolbar Item, click > Config > Create New
Edit the new file ~/.finicky and make it look something like this, filling in your profile name:

Manipulate (Geo)JSON with jq

Remove attributes with jq from a GeoJSON file:

cat points.geojson | jq ".features[].properties |= del(.c) | .features[].properties |= del(.d)"

Add property with default value:

	const { google } = require("googleapis");
	const fs = require("fs");

	// You need to go to Google Cloud console (console.cloud.google.com), then APIs
	// & Services -> Credentials. There, create a new service account (or reuse
	// existing if you have one). Click on a service account, go to Keys, and create
	// a new key, and download JSON for it. You'll use path to that JSON for
	// SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE var.
	//
	// Then, go to Google Play Console, then "Users and Permissions" on the left

	const fetch = require("node-fetch");
	const fs = require("fs");
	const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
	const util = require("util");

	// To get the private key, go to App Store Connect (appstoreconnect.apple.com), then "Users and Access"
	// at the top. Then go to "Integrations" -> "App Store Connect API", under "Team Keys" create a new key,
	// and you'll be able to download the private key for it.
	const PRIVATE_KEY = fs.readFileSync("AuthKey_F2BLAHBLAH.p8", "utf8");
