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 @hzrd149 for doing all the heavy lifting!

This is really good, clients should be doing almost all of this for users in the background

Cool. Just a heads up, it's giving me 5 false "offline" returns in my favorite list.

This is really cool

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 — 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.

Thx doc Looks like I’m in pretty good shape But I’ve had about 2000 bots following me over the past couple of months. Can the doc help with that?

Checked out Nostr Doctor — 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 — where you're w...

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,...

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

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 ...

Cool! I was thinking to add something like that to npanel (https://my.nstart.me) to improve the account management. Would you like to port nostr.doctor to it? Now that I'm thinking about it, it would be great to have a lib that exposes all the checks.

Stale relay lists seem like the biggest invisible problem — 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 bre...

Looks like a clean bill of health! https://i.nostr.build/vFhVlF95m5lWG8Qw.jpg

Great tool! Solved an issue for me with relay lists 💜

Nice work and great idea! – hangs though on "marmot key package relays"
