I learned most things relatively quickly (about 2-3 weeks of diving in to Nostr as a protocol, dozens of NIPs), but one of the things I DID get quite confused about initially is “Relay Lists” and the client work required to properly respect them.

Having just first assumed that connections were purely a local thing — and while they CAN be — it can cause some funny cross-client issues (difficulty handling NIP-17 Inbox/Outboxing, for example).

In hindsight, it is quite simple, just speaking from my initial few weeks of “Nostr Noob Dev” perspective. 💚
