Booger Pro uses an experimental relay implementation so please don't depend on it in any serious way. It probably has bugs. If you encounter bugs, please report them here: https://github.com/stackernews/booger/issues.

If you haven't purchased a reserved name in Outer Space, we may choose to delete your notes. (Once the Booger implementation matures, it will be used in Outer Space.)

Very cool, congrats.

Question: Why/when should I run it?

0 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b OP 27 Jun 2023

You mean run your own instance? Because you want to custody your own notes or custody them for other people.

It's just a prototype so I'd only really recommend using it for local dev right now until I fix all the bugs it probably has.

Sorry, I was not clear. What I meant is why should I run it vs other relay implementations? As I clicked on the website and saw no info. But then I saw it explained on the repo README

Yeah idk tbh. It has a different architecture and aims to be a little more extensible. If you're happy with other implementations, I'd run those. They've seen more real world usage.

The goal was to create what I want in a production relay implementation (and in a lot less code).

That's great man, it looks awesome and Deno must be fun. I started writing a browser-based relay (on Sqlite WASM running on OPFS), to which I want to add a sync layer to power more offline scenarios – especially now with PWAs being all the rage

Oh sweet! Do you have the code hosted somewhere?

I was hoping booger could eventually be a relay in the browser for offline usage and for a cache that worked like I was communicating with a relay.

This is great thanks for pushing this forward. I think we need more options to sovereignly host wss relays. I use NixOS for our systems and I think the only module for NixOS that can sovereignly run a wss relay is through LnBits. Down the road if booger can be "translated" into NixOS, that would be very cool.
