New project just released: Compass 🧭
For a long time I've wondered how bad things would be if nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgdwaehxw309anrw73wd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzp75cf0tahv5z7plpdeaws7ex52nmnwgtwfr2g3m37r844evqrr6j46j6hr's wss://purplepag.es relay went down, since it's the only dedicated kind 10002 indexer I'm aware of, and is heavily relied on for bootstrapping user relay selections, which is a key part of keeping nostr decentralized.
So I stood up another one at wss://indexer.coracle.social. Regular users don't need to do anything, but I encourage client developers to add this to your list of relays you check for NIP 65 kind 10002 relay selections.
I've also open-sourced the project at https://github.com/coracle-social/compass so anyone who wants to can run their own.
The project also supports mirroring other indexers via `strfry router`, but I have left that as an opt-in feature. Unless you expect significant load on your indexer, mirroring would only increase the number of unnecessary connections made to other indexers, so please be considerate when setting up mirrors.
