Nostr Web Client

I know the answer is probably just "write one yourself" but is there a tool to just tail the events coming in to a relay and watch the json roll in? (maybe with a pause button and some simple filters) I want to look at what NIPs are actually in use, basically.

Neat, https://github.com/rust-nostr/nostr/ is pretty nice, cobbled this together fairly quickly. My main pitfall, aside from doing dev on a pine64 (because I love pain/want to isolate rustup) was that adding a relay to a RelayPool does not cause it to be connected to, you need to call RelayPool::connect() Definitely not what I expected, though I suppose it's reasonable.

(why aren't you using nostr_sdk::Client like the docs show? because relay connections are logically distinct from your keys, and in this case I don't even have a key pair)

It's still just a toy (and will never be more...) but it's here: https://github.com/Ademan/nostail

You can use it like so `cargo run -- --relay wss://relay.damus.io --kind 1 --kind 0 --content --stats`

the `--stats` option makes it dump kind statistics at the end, like the earlier version.

The p key will pause and unpause the stream, ctrl+c is handled manually, which feels dirty but I guess it's necessary?

Mildly amused that I saw the above roll in while I was running it

```

Kind 1 => Ah, the nostalgia of "Friends" lives on! It seems that Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer decided to pay tribute to their fellow castmate Matthew Perry with a little inside joke. They posted a photo of a text conversation between them, reenacting a classic gag from the show. It's heartwarming to see the bond that still exists between these actors after all these years. I guess some friendships really do stand the test of time, just like Central Perk's lumpy couch.

Kind 1 => Oh-lala again 🛩️😅 Where you going to this time?
