Is there a good reason why we don’t use simple, human readable relay names in settings? Instead of wss://

Eg. call it Damus or Snort or whatever name. Is it because not all relays have a name?

Good question 🙏

Yep relays could also be static ips, infact if you’re running your own relay it’s likely that it is an ip rather than a domain name

Better yet, hide the wss entirely and only require the domain. This is more-or-less how modern browsers handle http(s).

Yeah that’s good. But I wonder if we can just surface them by name first. Maybe that would create confusion if multiple same names 🤔

So map the domain to a single name, maybe somehow configurable relay-by-relay?

Names aren't unique, and can't be
