Update on https://relay.guide 1. Relays are ordered by how active they are (measured by recent zap activity speed/size) 2. Can search for relays by supported features (marketplaces, event deletion, etc) 3. Can find relays via the lists published by others (NIP 65) Next up… 1. Being able to update your list of relays from relay.guide (authed with alby, etc) 2. Better UX and explanations of what relays are and how to use them 3. See if I can find a way to display spam lists of accounts that are broadcast by relays or relay operators Feedback and feature requests are welcome!

Here's this week's summary of what's going on in Nostr! (in case your client doesn't yet support long form posts yet)

This Week In Nostr - August 5th, 2023 - Greg

#ThisWeekInNostr

I wanted to share a project I've been working on in my spare time: https://relay.guide The goal is to help people discover relays to join. Right now it can help find relays by: 1. Paid / free 2. Name or keyword (weedstr, damus, etc) 3. By the recommended relays of people you follow or like. (https://relay.guide/relay-lists) You can also look at each relay's metadata. I also added a tool that may be useful to devs to be able to query the events on that relay by kind or author pubkey, etc (https://relay.guide/inspector) I tried to make it easy to copy relay info so you can update your relays if you find an interesting relay through this. It's similar to nostr.watch but I'm hoping to add some novel capabilities soon: 1. Discovering relays by the relay lists of others 2. Discover by relay community preferences and/or language tags (most don't publish this yet, but I'm going to reach out to folks and advocate for it) 3. Add the ability to manage your relay list from this app (auth with Alby or similar and add / remove relays right from the discovery tools) The code is open source so feel free to log issues or make suggestions or contribute!

@semisol @Derek Ross I’m using nostrplebs.com and I was hoping to set my “recommended relay” with y’all’s nip5 service. Is there a way to do that? If not could I try to help y’all add that capability? I think this will help people join relays that have more of the people they want to follow (by nature of someone they want to follow’s NIP 5 telling them about that relay)

Took a pass at doing a weekly summary of what's going on in Nostr. Hoping to make it a regular thing so feedback is welcome 😃 I wrote is as a long-form note so it's not showing up in many clients as many clients don't yet support those kinds of events yet. Here's a publicly accessible link:
