Nostr Web Client

The Aegis relay is a nice developmental addition to the Nostr relay ecosystem. We haven't had a new paid relay platform launch in almost two years. Aegis will fill a nice gap for those that want to run paid relays on their own server, with their own domain, but also are not experienced developers or overly familiar with the command line. Plus, with the addition of file hosting support, this could be a nice package for onboarding new users.

And speaking of being sovereign, for those of us that run our own Lightning nodes, it would be nice to have a future version with LND support, LNbits support, etc.

I’m very temped to set up an Aegis server to help the Nostr ecosystem. What I don’t understand is why anyone would pay me to use my Aegis server? What’s in it for an average Nostr user? Asking from a learning perspective and to hopefully help others like me understand the “why”. How do an average user benefit from paying for use of a premium relay?

Policies. Maybe your relay keeps all notes and events for 5 years? Maybe forever as long as they're paying? Speed, uptime, geographic location?

Thanks. That makes more sense. So there should be specific policies my server offers that folks may want. Now me wonders what the top features users would want of a relay. A lot of responsibly in offering a paid service and guaranteeing services.
