+      bitvid Content Appeals Form
+      
+      Key Points and Lessons Learned:
+      
+      1. We use nostr‑tools v2.10.4 to send a Nostr event that contains the appeal data.
+         - The target npub is decoded (using nip19.decode) to extract the target public key.
+         - An ephemeral key pair is generated with generateSecretKey (returns a Uint8Array) and getPublicKey (returns a hex string).
+      2. The form collects detailed appeal information (user info, content details, reasons, additional context, and declaration).
+      3. On submission, all form field values are assembled into a Markdown‑formatted message.
+      4. The message is encrypted using nip04.encrypt with the ephemeral private key and the target public key.
+      5. The event template (kind 4) is built with the encrypted message and then finalized via finalizeEvent,
+         which automatically computes event.id, assigns the ephemeral pubkey, and signs the event.
+      6. The event is published to multiple relays using SimplePool.publish (which now returns a promise), and we use Promise.any
+         to wait for at least one relay to accept the event.
+      7. For subscriptions, we use the Relay API (Relay.connect and relay.subscribe) to verify that the event appears in storage.
+      
+      This implementation leverages the higher‑level APIs provided by nostr‑tools to simplify event creation,
+      signing, and relay interaction while providing detailed logging for debugging purposes.

+      Nostr Ephemeral DM Tester (Using finalizeEvent)
+      
+      This HTML file demonstrates how to create a simple ephemeral DM tool using nostr‑tools v2.10.4.
+      
+      Key steps:
+      
+      1. Decode the target npub (using nip19.decode) to extract the target public key.
+      2. Generate an ephemeral key pair with generateSecretKey (returns Uint8Array) and getPublicKey (returns hex string).
+      3. Encrypt the message using nip04.encrypt (NIP‑04 encryption) with the ephemeral private key and the target public key.
+      4. Build an event template (a kind‑4 event) with the encrypted message and a tag containing the target pubkey.
+      5. Finalize the event using finalizeEvent, which computes the event id, assigns the ephemeral pubkey, and signs the event.
+      6. Publish the event to multiple relays using SimplePool.publish, which returns a promise – we use Promise.any to ensure at least one relay accepted the event.
+      7. Connect to each relay using the Relay API (Relay.connect) and subscribe for the event (using onEvent and onEose callbacks) to verify that it is stored.
+      
+      Important lessons:
+      
+      - finalizeEvent greatly simplifies the process by handling id computation and signing.
+      - The publish API now returns a promise; using Promise.any allows us to wait until one relay accepts the event.
+      - The subscription API has changed – use the Relay API instead of the deprecated pool.sub.
+      - Detailed logging is essential for debugging, so logs are output both to the page and the console.
+      
+      References:
+        - Nostr-tools documentation: :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
+        - Nostr protocol specifications and community examples.
