Nostr Web Client

very excited about the private relay (and all the other stuff too, ofc)

localized/topic-based relays is something I'm deeply interested and one of the areas of nostr that is more ripe for innovation; we've been treating relays almost as servers; sure, we tap on the idea of connecting to multiple relays for redundancy, but the experience is pretty much the same as using servers.

excited to see what roadblocks you guys face at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha when exploring this use case; I'm sure you guys will run into many good problems for us to solve

the immediate one will be that narrowing down relay selection (i.e. relay set) is hard/annoying, so people hardly ever do it and just add "yet another relay", which breaks the balkanization/specialization of relays.

this one way I've approached solving this, which allows for a complete context-switch in a single click:

e.g. you could be using "general" nostr and one-click into bitcoin-park nostr, and then one-click into you-and-your-families nostr; with different profile info, different client settings, etc

On flycat we called it relay selector, much like relay set. The problem is most user won’t setup different group of relays right now since relay are not that diverse and client do a bad job to show each relay’s information. We need better UX desgin and much more small diversity relays out there.

exactly

in reality, I think some people (e.g. community managers) will create relay set NIP-51s (I'm using kind:30022 on nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x ) and other people will use that list, so each person won't have to configure it.

at local venues a tap-to-connect would be ideal

100% . I am so excited to see this feature coming to nostr. The relay organizing has been really quite frustrating. Thank you so much!

Does this break the paid relay business model
