about to land the new metadata table in #nostrdb

https://github.com/damus-io/nostrdb/pull/91

when ingesting notes into the database, it will automatically count:

- direct replies

- thread replies (total number of replies in a thread)

- individual reaction counts

- total reaction counts

- number of quote reposts

- total zap sats

all stored in a compact format in nostrdb that is fast to update.

this should greatly simplify the frontend code in damus android, ios, and notecrumbs. people thought you would need a caching server to have reliable note stats like this, but not anymore! the local relays are getting smarter.

will try to get this into all of our clients asap, thanks for your patience ✌

Nice!

But isn't this exactly the definition of a caching server?

nostrdb is not a server, not sure what you mean

Sorry, I was thinking of a caching * DB *, which is missing 99.99% of Nostr apps, with obvious problems of performance and stability, which even think they can do without it.
