Nostr relay operators are not going to like this sort of software, because it will be used to magnify spam. In response, relays will likely block connections from Cloudflare IP addresses.
I'll likely implement some spam deterrents on the cloudflare side, but if they block IPs anyways, I'll just implement other proxies until everyone eventually becomes a paid relay.

Who won you over? I thought you were a nostr bear like Nick

The nostr wait list and automatic DM we did for Mutiny was kind of cool. Plus I'm experimenting with cloudflare serverless stuff and thought open sourcing what we did would be kind of fun.
I still don't care for social media and I think there's a lot of problems, but there's some thing we may need to use it for which prompted building this proxy.

Sounds like Carman won you over. I bet the automatic mutiny dm was his idea.

yuuup @benthecarman spawned the idea and then built it, I simply took his work and packaged it here :P
