Made a simple page to display the snort relay scraper data.

https://relays.snort.social/

New users signing up on snort/iris will get added to 5 close free relays, hopefully this helps to distribute users better.

One issue with this is of course GeoIP inaccuracy, maybe in the future relays could publish their locations as nostr events and then relay discovery is possible on nostr itself. In the same way that lightning network nodes discover channels and nodes via "gossip" messages, relays could share metadata about the network. Maybe somebody could write a NIP for this...

Would be really interesting just to see the geographic layout

nostr.watch already does this: https://nostr.watch/relays/find

Can this data be used?

Their API doesn't count users or show location, 2 things i wanted.
