He’s asking for app specific relays that only nostrudel will use. Shouldn’t impact any other apps.

It impacts the user experience though. There are some relays I don't want to interact with. Maybe I want to interact only with my own relay. This is kind of pushy.
💯
Can’t you just limit your selection to just your own relay? Or are you more critiquing the outbox model?
I'm sorry. I think the other users complaining and myself didn't wait enough.
If you wait enough, an option to "use your existing relays" appears!
I never saw this before.
Maybe the other options should wait until there's a definitive answer whether there are or there aren't existing preferred relays. 👌
As for the transparency issue (normal people are not interested in knowing what relays are), later down the road maybe this relay selection stuff could be moved to after the login stage somehow, like notifications from the app or something.
Also I noticed that this selection dialog appears twice, before and after login, at least when using nsec.
Also strike where I said "after the login stage", I meant "after app use", like 5 minutes after login, for example.
I agree with most of what you’re saying. I do, however, think that the role is relays for the average user is still an open question. It may end up the case that they become a basic user interface element.
