Nostr Web Client

You’re not giving normies enough credit

We had AOL - how did we ever get normies off of that?

Damus recommends relay sets, will soon effectively default/auto-pilot relays.

Where this devolves to is most of user base will have no concept of relays, “I’ve got my client and there’s some backend something out there cool I’m on nostr f the system” - but which devolves into every other standard social platform out there.

Yes we have “portable” identities but I’m not sure portable keys model saves you here … for all intents and purposes.

The nostr vision as I initially read it was relay-centric. This seems to go the opposite way entirely.

Maybe I’m overstating all this.

But we’re in prime early phase here and this seems the time to really embrace the core nostr model not hide it all.

OMG! I would use this. I miss de.icio.us! It was SO good.

Right!

I would think that most clients just treat each relay as string addresses and wouldn't cause a problem if 2 endpoints were sitting on the same domain.

Would it make more sense to model these as GET parameters? (even though ring handlers are probably easier to code)

eg: wss://nostr-relay.untethr.me/?mode=reactions&access=ro

Interesting yes query params are more flexible but the urls less likely to compare “equal” since you can reorder params - that might matter to some places in spec or clients don’t know

what would you envision are some use cases for using virtual relays?

To users they would behave identical to regular relays so most use cases that apply to regular relays. Probably other use cases like ephemeral private-ish channel-like experiences. There are pay-for-your-own relay services out there, those are probably doing something similar or at least sharing machine resources across relays.

Cool! In general, what did you improve? I'm running nostr-rs-relay myself but it is pretty hangry for some CPU cycles. It is a pretty busy relay though.

How many active connections? What’s your cpu load / how many cores? I serve about 200 concurrent and I’m about 20-30% of one core/vcpu. Majority of load is reads; sqlite shouldn’t balk at concurrency—using separate db just means you’re shifting some compute over to your database cores.

I added a little bit more info to the list of people involved in #nostr projects and the list has been growing quite bit:

#Legends

Following and zapping ⚡️ them is highly adviseable especially if you use their product!

Forgive me if I you are not included. Add yourself in the comments with your project's name and github or just shoot me a DM and I will make sure you will be added.

Let me know if anything is wrong or missing and I will change it.

Sorry about the spam! #[2] is going to put this list on uselessshit.co, so I don't have to spam the list with each update.

Credits to #[3] for sparking the idea of creating a more sophisticated list.

I made the github not clickable, so that the message doesn't get cut (bug) and you dont have to scroll the double amount.

Love you all! 🧡💜
