Nostr Web Client

Hey all! Here's a new nostr relay implementation I'm working on: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry

It's still in beta/dev, but pretty close to production ready. Most interesting feature is a merkle-tree based set reconciliation protocol for syncing messages between servers.

Nice. Thanks for working on this. Really detailed readme too.

Once more apps get released I’m hoping we’re ready for the next wave of 10-100X growth. And relays are definitely an area we need to optimise performance and allow greater scalability.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to actually testing strfry on production traffic. :)

I think the merkle-tree syncing could really help with distributing data amongst relays too, I'm going to write more on this shortly.

Thanks for working on this. Is the socket server async or threaded?

There is a "websocket" thread that is async since it handles multiplexing all the different websocket connections. However, it delegates most CPU or I/O bound operations to various thread pools. There are more details in the Architecture section of the README: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry#architecture
