Developing nostr stuff on a 5G modem connection has been eye opening. Websockets are flakey as fuck and none of the current libraries can handle this.

I have been wondering if using WebTransport could help with reliability.

Yeah it probably will, problem is lack of support on mobile browsers right now.

I used to laugh at people suggesting a long polling bridge for nostr, but wasting multiple days trying to make websockets work nicely makes this suddenly seem like a good idea.

Long polling could be an interesting solution for mobile. I would need to do a deepdive to see if upgrading to WebTransport would make sense when available. Although using QUIC for fast setup seems promising.
