After the conference, I feel so relieved that I am so productive and into the flow zone.
https://github.com/BlowaterNostr/nostr.ts/pull/52 is finally merged.
Automatic reconnection of disconnected relays is very important for performant and responsive UI.
The testing coverage is also much better. I am aiming for 90%+ for nostr.ts, we will get there.
Testing network code is never easy but doable. The goal of nostr.ts is to become the best relay connection pool & network library in JavaScript ecosystem. Maybe it will implement gossip model and geo connections in the future.
I have wanted to implement auto reconnection in the library since February. I did one experiment, encountered challenges, was mentally lazy, gave up.
Instead I implemented the reconnection in the Blowater app which was convenient at the beginning but problematic in long term.
The lesson is: if something is right and we know it’s right, don’t just give up for small challenges. All challenges seem impossible at first but they all end up being easy.
