Nostr Web Client

A myth in nostr is that if one relay goes down 3 spring up. This is an irrational myth. Observation is closer to the opposite. If 3 relays go down, one new one starts. Continuing that trend leads to a small set of centralized relays, which most people will use.

i'm planning on building a full local relay and a small web service that interacts via nostr that enables anyone to run a relay on their own pc so they can use a client like nostrudel or coracle with inboxes set up, to have others also using inbox clients to directly store messages in their relay

you are not bullish enough on what is possible with relay architecture

Lol, yes, I'm gonna need a bot that replies this to about 80% of posts around here 😹

I know exactly what is possible. I am neither bullish nor bearish, I use it as a tool. And so should you. Relays are a tool to relays notes and other stuff, from one user to another. It's not a database. It's not a storage system. Let nostr be nostr and all your problems are solved.

Having your own inbox relay is such an elegant alternative to all the P2P hyped-up projects out there.

been using web relays long before nostr ... which is a reason nostr exists today
