- Nowhere utilizes URL fragments (#) to store entire websites, ensuring data never reaches servers and is accessible only from the browser.
- It uses Nostr relays for encrypted, anonymous communication, with ephemeral keys preventing traceability.
- Nowhere challenges platform control by rejecting terms of service that allow arbitrary content removal.
- Servers only provide generic page builder files; user actions (like orders or posts) use disposable keys, leaving no accounts or identities.
- URLs can be encrypted, requiring a password for access, protecting content even if the link is shared.
- Nowhere's architecture empowers the link holder, making content unremovable, uncensorable, and functional offline.
- Technical design (like no servers and encrypted fragments) guarantees resistance to shutdowns, unlike policy-based commitments.
- Links act as permanent copies that cannot be recalled, ensuring durability beyond internet access.
