I would argue that nostr-irc is the fastest client for new events. Raw websocket connection in a running console with no image parsing, no link previews, some LND invoice regex, and other tricks provide a stream of steady text.

I’m currently working on fixing things to work with all relays. Certain relays have a different stack and responses that I need to figure out next. Relays like nos.lol and relay.damus.io fly.

Sounds good man!

What is roughly the difference between relay implementations? Working on my own relay (mostly for fun and learning). Would be nice if it ended up in the "easy to get a client working with" category šŸ˜…

There seems to be either a relay implementation or network config (CDN maybe?) that is doing things like terminating websocket connections after 60-90 seconds forcing the client to reconnect. Some respect pings and keepalives while others do not. I need to look at some repos and figure out why.
