Nostr Web Client

I feel lucky as hell that I can work on freedom tech full time. Wouldn’t be here without y’all sharing the same vision of a better future where individuals are in control of their data online. There is so much more cool tech to build. Imagine if every phone was also a relay. This is the direction that damus is moving in. So many possibilities are unlocked after this. Thanks everyone who has ever zapped damus, it keeps us moving forward 🙏

Like your vision and your brave contribution! Thank you for your work. Is it already possible to use my 2nd mobile - which is just sitting around - as a relay? Would not mind to install a specific OS, also. Thank you :)

It's possible, but not sure if it'll require some code. https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#relays is a list of various relay software. If you have experience running VMs or containers on mobile then these should all work at least minimally through such a setup.

Some concerns on mobile are that relays can use a lot of bandwidth and should be always online and routable from the public internet for general use. It doesn't make sense to publish to a relay if your intended audience can't get to it.
