Each website is a collection of signed, verifiable Nostr events distributed across relays—so it can’t be taken down, censored, or lost.
It includes: • DNS TXT records for domain-based discovery (_nweb.domain.com) • CLI publisher tool for versioned deployments (nw-publisher) • Browser extension (nw-extension) for native browsing experience • Relay v1.3.5 support for Nostr Web event kinds

Would love feedback from the HN community—on protocol design, relay performance, or UX ideas for improving decentralized web publishing.

Why would I want to host my site on Nostr? What does it do better than the competition?
As a side note, your demo isn't viewable without the extension. Trusting a new browser extension has a high level of friction. It would be nice if your site gave some hint of why a user might want to jump through those hoops.

1- Hosting site on one of the service providers doesn't mean centralization, ex. these week amazon outage, if you are going to deploy to multi-providers it will costs much, in our solution we offer you freedom of hosting on whatever relays you prefer many relays are public which means 0$ cost, moreover you able to expand your deployment on more relays as you want.
2- You are definitely correct, We have just highlighted a small note in the landing page that end users need extension to access the website, to gain some trust we have published the extension to chrome and Firefox store so a code review is applied to ensure security.
Really appreciate your feedback we can add more informative details in the landing page to show why end user need an extension, also we are planning to build a gateway so end user doesn't need to install extension in order to to access nostr websites "Frankly speaking we don't prefer this way in favor of decentralization and it is planned just for demonstration purposes"
