Nostr Web Client

Instead of having different pubkeys.. Would be cool if clients implemented a "only use this relay for this session" kind of thing... Could switch seamlessly between the full global experience and a private your friends kind of thing..

Would need to control which relays you are writing to / reading from client side and not have it controlled by the global settings of which relay you use...

#[7] , this kind of thing should be fairly straightforward?

More or less. It's a confusing experience for a non-tech user. You switch relays and your timeline PARTIALLY changes. You don't really know why certain posts disappeared but "most of the posts are there so there must be a bug in the app".

The usecase we're talking about here would be using nostr for a private ish chat room, like if in have a small relay with 20 friends Or whatever... Could 'enter' the chat room by setting amethyst tononoynread/write from this relay for now.

On the front end the user wouldn’t even have to see or understand that the relays are switching. Just have a list of “my networks” and depending which one you select the app automatically switches the corresponding relays on/off in the background.

Best analogy for the discussion is Slack's workspaces. 🤔

Good analogy 💯

Exactly!! Could be a pretty neat ux too... Don't need to relearn different interfaces for different interaction groups.
