Nostr Relay Manager: Take Control of Your Connectivity
⚡️ Nostr Relay Manager: Take Control of Your Connectivity
As Nostr grows, relay management becomes critical. Your Kind 10002 (NIP-65) relay list is your lifeline to the network. If it points to dead relays—or worse, gets wiped—your notes don’t get seen, and your feed stays empty.
🛡️ The “Blind Signing” Safety Net
We’ve all been there: you’re prompted to sign an event, you click “Sign” without looking at the JSON, and—oops—you just accidentally updated your relay list, removing your preferred relays and killing your reach. Mend allows you to easily audit, fix, and restore your Kind 10002 list, ensuring a single mistake doesn’t leave you shouting into the void.
✨ Key Features:
- Instant Connection Testing: Real-time “V/X” status indicators and latency (ms) tracking.
- Kind 10002 Management: Edit, restore, and broadcast your relay preferences directly to the network. Fix accidental overwrites in seconds.
- NIP-05 Sync: Seamlessly export your relay settings to your Nostr DNS-based ID. Temporarily disabled — feature under active development and will return in a later release.
- Custom Lists: Create and test experimental relay sets before committing them to your profile.
- Extension Powered: Securely signs events using your favorite Nostr browser extension (NIP-07).
Stop guessing. Start testing. Ensure your voice is heard across the relay-verse! 🤙
🛠 Change Log
[v1.1.0] - Connection Clarity Update
- Added: Visual status marks (“V” for success, “X” for failure) to the relay list during connection tests.
- Added: Real-time latency (ms) display for successful WebSocket connections.
- Improved: WebSocket connection logic with a robust 5-second timeout to prevent UI hanging.
- Improved: Added try/catch blocks around WebSocket initialization to handle mixed-content (WS/WSS) and malformed URL errors gracefully.
- Fixed: Resolved a bug in the custom list manager where removing relays or testing lists sometimes targeted the wrong data array.
- Fixed: Improved UI feedback state; relays now show a “pending” status (yellow dot + “…”) while the test is in progress.
[v1.0.0] - Initial Release
- Core functionality for fetching Kind 0 and Kind 10002 events.
- Support for NIP-05 relay fetching.
- Basic “Status Dot” connectivity indicators.
