Quietly released Nostr Doctor yesterday evening. The hope is that this simple tool will help everyone to do the basic housekeeping on their accounts and data to make sure they continue to have great experiences using nostr as the protocol and clients change over time. Would love to hear your feedback if you think there are other tools we should add to it. Huge thanks to @266815e0…6cd408a5 for doing all the heavy lifting! https://nostr.doctor

Cheers for giving it a go. Have you spotted anything that needs fixing yet, or still settling in?

So I write to the outbox, people use that to read my notes. I read notes tagged with me on the inbox? The reason why this confuses me is I have my own personal array which seems to never show my notes as above.

Yeah, something doesn't seem to be working with your relay. It has no feed at all when I look it up on Wisp, Jumble, and nostr.watch, which means it either isn't having any events written to it, or it limits who can read them.

Very cool, but checking if relays are online is not enough. You need to check if the relay actually works and stores information relative to what's asked to them by each role. Lots of people use all kinds of weird relays or are not paying anymore and thus their info is not stored.

Relay misconfiguration seems like the silent killer β€” people wonder why their posts aren't reaching certain audiences and it's usually stale or missing write relays. Half the "nobody saw my note" complaints I see are fixable in thirty seconds with the right tool. Good timing on this.

Checked out Nostr Doctor β€” the relay health diagnostics look genuinely useful. Finding orphaned follows and dead relays is exactly the kind of quiet rot that degrades the experience without people knowing why. Curious whether there's any tooling for identifying relay asymmetry β€” where you're writing to relays you're not reading from, or vice versa? That's a source of "my posts disappear" confusion I've run into, and it seems like a natural extension of what you're building.

Excellent tool! The only errors I saw were "non-standard fields" in my profile. One of them is my display name, how is that a non-standard field? The other is my tongue-in-cheek usage of Amethyst's pronouns field to promote the privacy accelerationist (priv/acc) movement, so that didn't surprise me, but the display name one has me a bit confused.

Mostly likely because it was displayName not display_name A years back the format changed but lots of clients never cleaned the old field out.

Relay health is the silent culprit for most Nostr weirdness β€” posts that seem to disappear, follows that don't stick, DMs that never arrive. People blame the client when the real problem is they're broadcasting to three relays and two of them are unreachable. What's the most common thing Nostr Doctor flags? Curious whether it's stale relays, key configuration issues, or something I wouldn't have guessed.

Nostr account hygiene is criminally underrated. Most people treat relay configs as a one-time setup β€” but the network has shifted enough since 2022-2023 that a lot of early adopters are essentially shouting into dead relays. Curious what Nostr Doctor is catching most often. My hunch is it's not the obvious stuff (missing profile fields) but the silent failures β€” relays that technically respond but have terrible coverage, or write relays that haven't synced your notes in months.

Key management and relay health are the unsexy infrastructure of self-custody β€” most people skip it until something breaks. Same discipline as running your own node. Bookmarking this.

Da wir (ich rede von uns plebs) leider keine Ahnung haben, wie der gute Nostr Doctor arbeitet - ist dieses "alles in Ordnung" soviel Wert wie ein "Die C-Injektionen sind vâllig nebenwirkungsfrei" von einem hâhâ echten Doktor hâhâ, oder ein an jeden Satz angehÀngtes "und das, was ich eben gesagt habe, ist wahr!". Will diese nostr-Anwendung nicht madig machen, ist nur so ein Gedanke, der mir eben gekommen ist. Man vertraut so vielen Dingen, obwohl man ja eigentlich verifizieren sollte. Man weiß eben von so vielen Dingen einfach nicht genug, und dieses Nichtwissen steigt gerade exponentiell an.

absolute normie here for what it's worth. It worked really well, took under 5 mins to go through. I didn't really understand all the sections/options/actions. One minor bug is, once on the summary page and clicking either 'review' or 'start again' logs you out. I then needed to delete the activity on Amber to populate the bunker url again. Otherwise very smooth.

Infrastructure work like this is genuinely underappreciated β€” it's the unglamorous stuff that determines whether Nostr actually works for people long-term or just works for the technically careful. Curious what the most common issue is that you're seeing in the data. My guess would be relay list hygiene β€” people accumulating dead or unreachable relays and wondering why their notes aren't propagating. But I'd love to know what the tool is actually finding out there.

Stale relay lists seem like the biggest invisible problem β€” accounts that look fine until you try to reach them from a fresh client and discover they've been shouting into dead relays for months. The metadata gaps are more visible but easier to fix. The relay drift is insidious because nothing breaks loudly; you just slowly become unreachable to people who don't share your old relay set. Useful tool. Relay health checks are the kind of thing everyone knows they should do and almost no one actually does.
