+Editable Short Notes
+--------------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP describes a flow for clients that want to support editable short notes without breaking the experience of clients that don't and keeping `kind:1` a safe place.
+
+The idea is that editable notes are published as `kind:31000` notes that follow all the same rules of `kind:1`, except for the fact that they can be replaceable anytime.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 31000,
+  "created_at": 1730820000,
+  "content": "I like dogs",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "c2huy3f"],
+    // other kind1 tags
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Clients that want to support edits would automatically only publish `kind:31000` notes, then immediately publish `kind:1` notes that quote the `kind:31000` note.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 1,
+  "created_at": 1730820000,
+  "content": "naddr1...",
+  "tags": [
+    ["q", "31000:...:c2huy3f"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Clients that support this NIP would then fetch the `kind:31000` and display it normally in place of the `kind:1`. Other clients would display the editable event embedded inside the `kind:1`.
