🚀 Introducing Nbox.space, a toolkit for Nostr developers and builders. The fun part: need a relay but don't feel like setting anything up? Just open a tab. A real Nostr relay runs right there in your browser. Live instantly, no server, no signup, reachable by any client through a tunnel. Great for testing and dev. Nbox.space also gives you: • forge: an event workbench — hand-craft any event, fire it at your relays, and see exactly how each one responds and what comes back • hosted relays — spin up your own in seconds • a relay tester — run a full conformance suite against any relay …and more to come.
nbox.space · Nostr toolbox
nbox.space: a toolbox of developer tools for the Nostr protocol. Your keys stay in your browser; hosted relays run on the server.

how about a negentropy syncing in browser relay that serves the current app. when i query it, it will multiplex the query to many real relays and also when i post to it, multiplex to many relays..

I can add negentropy in browser and hosted relay, yes, but I'm not sure to understand your need. This in-browser relay is mainly for developers/builders that want a local relay for testing. What did you have in mind exactly? What problem would this solve for you?

this could be a component for whoever wants to make nostr web apps fast and easy. instead of handling many relay related issues, the app dev only focuses on talking to local component that handles the persistance layer. the app sees only one relay or only one component that handles all the persistance. i may use it for my next project too. thinking about a reddit like experience on nostr. i think nostr's problem is there is less AI. user's interests are not connected to other user's interests. discoverability is low. many great content producers are lost because they are not discovered imo.

Ok I see. Soon, I'll extract the in-browser relay as a standalone npm package. You will be able to use it like you want in your project 🙂 I'll also check for implementing negentropy. But remember that in-browser relays from nbox.space are for testing/building without deploy having to deploy a relay yourself on docker or wathever
