Trying to figure out if we can share databases (media and Nostr events) as well as connection pools, notification services, Tor services, through Android Services that each app can bind to. In that way, the first app starts each service and the others just reuse them.

Because if every Nostr app decides to keep running in the background, we will have issues. We will have to share common services.

ultimately a lot of this should either shift behind a Relay interface (local or otherwise) or be limited to the client impl right? Good short-term dev utility but 😬

That's kinda what we are trying to build. A local interface that every app can use. Because the current path is every client connecting to the same relays separately

Yes, the Relay Interface is the protocol. I would aim to shift all this behind one side or the other of the Relay, rather than establish another interface or platform-specific standard, this early in NOSTR

Relay Extensions and additional ports and features negotiated via handshake would be a better target for us to aim towards.
