Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Nostr doesn't use any memorizable identifiers for users, making it very confusing when follows change their avatar and name to something completely different at the same time. While this also will have security implications (grow a following, peddle scams using some influencer's profile details), it's so far only slightly annoying when I notice notes by people I have no memory of ever following them until I dig into their profile and notice they used a different avatar before.

Describe the solution you'd like

maintain public list of petnames for all my follows
offer to add entry for all that have no entry yet, with a single run
always show my petname of users but mark them if they use a different name, allowing to one-click adapt the different name
extend to also cover the avatar
extend to also allow private petnames
avoid duplicate public petnames
include my petnames (private and public) when mentioning or searching
include others' petnames when mentioning or searching with chained mention like @dave@erin.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Show by other means when profiles changed their name/avatar.

Additional context

The petnames proposal in the nips was originally to allow addressing people via these petnames using the chaining mentioned above.

History button. Shows all previous image / name history. Allows to privately set one you recognize the most.
Edit icon next to name to set a private petname (I modified the 2nd screenshot to say "private pet name for {name}" so you can see their current public name.
Ability to upload and image for their profile?

Thoughts?

We don't need any of this if we just add a custom private note to profile like Nostur.

Pros: reduced complexity, more useful for other context like keeping notes about someone as reminders, or why they were muted for example.

I have designed this in Figma.
