Been playing with this for the past couple weeks. My initial thoughts are;

- the protocol is workable with lots of upside potential. A protocol is well designed not when you can add nothing more but when can take nothing else away. Keep it lean but extensible.

- Picking a few well connected relays is better than having a whole list of many.

- clients are improving but UI needs lots of work. I’ve only used Damus and Iris but the later is more functional. Both seem to hang and aren’t refreshing though this may be occurring at a lower layer.

Looking forward to see how this plays out.
