Nostr Web Client

I’m working on a proper nostr proxy to unify all event publishing and fetching as well as relay traversal (intelligently fetch missing events)

MIT-licensed and easy to self-host.

Do you think you’d use it or do you prefer this approach, #[3] ?

Main benefits: a single connection, handy for data-usage on mobile and privacy

Interesting, so not just publishing notes, but also downloading?

That seems to be a strict improvement on privacy and bandwidth.

Yeah, precisely. I’ve been using nostr on the go in Thailand and Vietnam in the past few months and it eats up my data allowance 😔

If we want to onboard the global south to nostr we can’t ask them to download GBs of data over spotty/expensive networks on a daily basis

I like the idea of a self-hosted proxy relay a lot! Apart from the benefits you mentioned, it should increase client performance and probably decrease power consumption if clients have to connect to only one server that in turn connects to all the various relays out there!

Let me know if I can help with testing or anything!

Will do; I named my proxy mobstr precisely because it helps so much with battery and performance on the go

The ability to host this on an always-on device and just fetch updates from mobile would be excellent, looking forward to it!

That’s precisely my use case! It can also do a lot of niceties like proxy fetching external media for you
