Nostr Web Client

I don't have any ideas, but I would be happy to do it. I think the name "relay" should be abandoned. I don't like it, it's ugly, dry, hard to pronounce, hard to translate.

We could replace it with 2 or 3 different names for different types of Nostr message servers.

I like it, but what exactly are planets? Normal outbox relays? Automated feed relays? Niche and community relays? Special inbox relays? NIP-29 provider relays?

Comets, asteroids, meteors, stars?

I was thinking of planets as relays that specifically provide feeds. Each planet has its own rules and brings together like-minded people to interact. Switching between relays is like hopping over to another planet to hang out.

As for the other relays, I haven’t really figured out names for them yet haha

I'm following you and wanted to mention you for the same reason.

I like the idea (yours too) of relays as something people move between.

I don't know if giving them different names would actually help, maybe it's better to use attributes/adjectives.

Island, boat, continent, ship, platform.

island: curated community relays

continent: big relays

platform: normal relays (inbox/outbox relays)
