looks quite interesting, I wasn't aware of that. it seems like a nice hybrid solution to pull/push problem (relays can push if they choose to, clients just publish and pull).

I should say though, that upon first look, I wish it was built on top of some already existing standard (like rss), as it could get a great headstart in terms of content already circulating in the network that way.

Nostr can get complex, but at its core, it's deceptively simple. It's built on JSON, WebSockets, digital signatures, and sending a simple Event data structure over the wire. It can get complex, but its core is very small. Feels similar to how HTTP itself started.

Also, it wouldn't be too hard too build bridges or bots that bring in other stuff (like RSS feeds or ActivityPub content) to Nostr. One already exists: https://mostr.pub
