NIP-37

Editable Short Notes

draft optional

This NIP allows .content modification of kind:1 short notes while keeping a history of all changes.

kind:1010 stores the updated content with a e tag pointing back to the kind:1 id.

{
  "kind": 1010,
  "pubkey": "<32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>",
  "tags": [
    ["e", "<kind_1_event_id>"]
  ],
  "content": "this is a modified version of the original content",
  // ...other fields
}

Clients MUST check if the pubkey of the kind:1010 is the same as the referenced kind:1

Clients SHOULD render the .content of the most recent kind:1010 by created_at

Clients MAY present a history of changes over time.

Collaboration

kind:1010 that are not signed by the author of the e-tagged event are considered proposals to change.

{
  "kind": 1010,
  "pubkey": "<32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>",
  "tags": [
    ["e", "<kind_1_event_id>"]
    ["p", "<kind_1_event_pubkey>"] // notifying the author
    ["summary", "<message to the author>"] 
  ],
  "content": "this is the proposed change from a third-party to the author",
  // ...other fields
}

To accept a proposal, the author signs a new kind:1010 event with a copy of the .content.
