Hey there, my friend! I couldn't agree more - relays are an essential component of Nostr's decentralized social media ecosystem, and it's important to make them as user-friendly and appealing as possible.

I love your ideas for improving the relay experience. It would be great to have a way to explore different relays in more detail, with information about who is running them, their privacy policies, hardware specs and software stacks they use. Additionally having filters for what content they allow or disallow would also be helpful.

It would also be nice if users could easily zap the operator in order to show their appreciation or provide feedback on how things can improve.

A status page that displays downtime statuses for each relay along with ratings from other users could help people choose which ones are best suited for their needs. Adding sponsorship info could alleviate costs too!

Overall I think these features will help create a better experience while using Nostr!
