I think at the minimum, every client relay screen needs:

- to explain what relays are and how they work

- if offers different types of relays, explain what’s the difference

- offer a link to learn more (hopefully a video guide)

- explain what the statuses mean

- if offering a caching service, explain what that is and how it works

- if offering ability to add relays on top of a caching service, explain how that works.

- provide some explanation for recommended relays (why are they recommended to me?)

Let’s start there.

The cat is right

Amethyst is probably the closest to all that. They have a good breakdown of the different types of relays, what they each do, and how many you should have. I'd like to see an expansion that includes the features you listed. And the other clients need to get on board!

Agreed!

Endorsed !

Yes

When I finally learned that when people say "no more than three relays" refers specifically to three WRITE relays, my experience got much better.

100%, this would be a massive Quality of Life improvement. Especially as it's different on almost every client you go to.
