Coming soon to a website near you... NostrGram.

Agreed. It just makes sense to combine and compete for users. Best client experience, fastest relay performance, image/video hosting. You'd have to be the client provider anyway b/c you'd have to upload the media and sign the event with the media URL.

That's an opportunity for paid relays to provide high performance + media hosting. Auto compression/resizing and you double/triple capacity. Even a $250/mo dedicated server can host and serve around 3-4 million images. $1/mo (LN equiv of course) per user and the breakeven is really low.

I did. Didn't work. I switched to nos2x and everything works fine, so I'll just stick with that.

That did the trick. Switched to nos2x and it's working fine.

Trying to give snort.social a try. When I click "Login with Extension" it pops up the Alby approval box but clicking "Connect" does nothing. #[0] Are you using Alby with it?

#[0] Sent you a DM. Not sure if you got it (I know Nostr still has some issues). Not important, just FYI.

Yeah we had one in the town I lived in that had a bunch of lines. Very good memories those days.

I loved the dungeon crawlers too (Roguelike).

For Likes and Replies, the way the Nostr protocol is designed now you have to pull down every record created for every note being displayed -- there's no aggregates stored. That's untenable once Nostr has millions of active users. Can you imagine the client having to retrieve tens of thousands of records every time it loaded a page of notes just to show the like/reply counts? Even if the protocol does develop a solution, querying a single relay will only give you the counts from that relay. I'm aggregating all the top relay data (27 atm) so the numbers are pretty accurate.

That's the goal, at least unless/until Nostr incorporates some form of aggregation for this info. Besides, for things like Likes, querying one relay isn't enough since people write to different relay sets. I'm aggregating data from all the top relays (currently 27 of them) so the reaction counts and follower counts etc should be pretty accurate. Nostrum is running on a high end production web server tied to a high end production database server, so it can handle quite a bit of load.
