Thanks to everyone who has helped develop/debug/test strfry over the past 2 years, and for all the kind words and encouragement. The nostr community rocks!

We've got a few things in the pipeline for strfry:

* strfry proxy: This will be a new feature for the router that enables intelligent reverse proxying for the nostr protocol. This will help scale up mega-sized relays by allowing the storage and processing workload to be split across multiple independent machines. Various partitioning schemes will be supported depending on performance and redundancy requirements. The front-end router instances will perform multiple concurrent nostr queries to the backend relays, and merge their results into a single stream for the original client.

* As well as scaling up, reverse proxying can also help scale down. By dynamically incorporating relay list settings (NIP-65), nostr queries can be satisfied by proxying requests to external relays on behalf of a client and merging the results together along with any matching cached local events. Negentropy will be used where possible to avoid wasting bandwidth on duplicate events.

* Archival mode: Currently strfry stores all events fully indexed in its main DB, along with their full JSON representations (optionally zstd dictionary compressed). For old events that are queried infrequently, space usage can be reduced considerably. As well as deindexing, we are planning on taking advantage of columnar storage, aggregation of reaction events, and other tricks. This will play nicely with strfry proxy, and events can gradually migrate to the archival relays.

* Last but not least, our website https://oddbean.com is going to get some love. Custom algorithms, search, bugfixes, better relay coverage, and more!
