Thanks for your feedback!
Expiry date is necessary to avoid remembering all issued 'plans' forever - this can't scale well on the backend.
I agree that this causes some concerns, and will be offering other options:
  • you can choose to setup pay-per-search with Alby extension already
  • LN Auth will come soon to setup an acc and refill it as needed, with ability to withdraw, like here on SN
LN Auth will also help avoid import/export clutter, but it means I will be tracking all the searches linked to your acc - some people don't like that, and might choose to go without an acc.
Aah yes, good point (about the privacy angle). Perhaps that should go in the "About", or a 'FAQ'?
Link to a github would also be nice!
Great work, thanks for sharing, useful resource.
Fyi the nostr search worked but I wasn't able to click through into any of the items. could this be fixed? Perhaps you could 'choose your web client' or just pick one as default?
Also - you use a bunch of centralised services as contact points (twitter / telegram)
Why not mastodon, nostr, and/or matrix instead?

That's right, FAQ and other help needs much more attention :)
I don't have a github for this, don't have plan to open source it atm.
The nostr search features are gonna expand, I will allow replying right on my site if you have Alby, and will open up some good third-party web client when it comes. For now I just manually copied user IDs and used them in other clients to find people and reply.
I didn't use mastodon and matrix when I wrote the 'about' page, gonna go add nostr now :)
Thanks a lot for a huge amount of feedback!

BTW, now there are links to astral.ninja web client to easily reply to people. That's the only client that seems to work reliable, even if kinda slow.
