Nostr Web Client

I don’t wanna say this but the caching relay has a few advantages. Like for example the amount of data saved when browsing nostr.

Last week Ryan was looking into pfps for his app and most don’t use compressed images. So like 500kb to 2MB per pfp everytime you browse on Damus (if it’s not compressed). On primal however they compress it all with the caching relay. One of the reasons why the images aren’t the same

The one time primal wallet doesn’t work 😂

Yeah that’s a good point. I know one of the main advantages is that primal saves you more battery and data. Bandwidth is a bigger problem outside of our countries.

Outside of the west for sure. Also when on the go. I checked sometimes on vacation I could use .6-1GB+ in a day, just for browsing.

That’s not bad. I use damus more than primal but last month I burned 1.68 gb on damus while only burning 248 mb on primal.

1GB per day. So for 2 weeks it was close to 20GB. Not close to finishing my plan but still. Primal and Nostur usage is way lower. WAY lower

That explains why the feed looks and feels so smooth

Perhaps the caching relay is way more useful than we think. What would be great is if we could choose what goes into it. Like select from our relays

There is an option to change the caching relay but what do you change it to?

good question
