I think that there's room for more than one NIP-29 around, assuming that there's enough community interest and dev capacity for it. At the moment I'm struggling to get anyone even remotely interested in it. Lol
Discussion
We don't have many users or developers.
I'm aware… Well, both relays are written in Go and Khatru based. Plus, hodlbod here is good people. So, on my side, I have absolutely no issue with you two merging both initiatives and, on my side, will be happy to contribute in any way I can. We just really, really need a place for Khatru based relay devs to align. So whatever relay software you folks decide to stick with, let’s create a community please 🙂
Speaking of stretched devs, when you have a chance, could you please read my DM? hzrd149 has merged my changes to the Blossom specs (type is no longer optional in the Blob Descriptor, and the whole redirection thing is in place 🎉), so I’ll finally be going back to Khatru redirection support, followed by Haven. I’ve also got sidequests on mak, Song, and possibly njump (plus an experimental Blossom/IPFS bridge I’m working on myself that may or may not be made publicly depending on how well it works :)). If I could get 15 minutes of your time at some point, it would help me immensely.
I hate to mention it, but also take a look at https://github.com/pippellia-btc/rely which looks quite good. Also, fiatjaf is re-writing khatru/eventstore: https://pkg.go.dev/fiatjaf.com/nostr/khatru
I'll have a look at rely. And yes, EventStore deserves a rewrite. Again, we should have some sort of channel to discuss this kind of thing. It's a "small" group of devs but not small enough that I can keep up with what everyone is doing. A NIP-29 group or equivalent would be awesome, it can even have a bigger scope than just Khatru based relays.
I run relay.nostrtalk.org for this purpose, which is best used via flotilla, but also works on chachi (I believe). But I was thinking about this problem, I think the issue is that nostr itself is the nostr dev community, and so there's not much incentive to switch to a room/channel/relay/community/group
