strfry gets its own Crays research page because the workbook does not treat it as background noise. It appears in Relays / Infra, usually around Relay software, and that means a reader should be able to find it without knowing which directory first mentioned it.



Why this belongs in the atlas
strfry sits in the relay and infrastructure research layer. The reader question is simple: What does this entry reveal about where Nostr data lives, how it is served, who operates it and what tradeoffs users feel?
The workbook signal says: Widely used Nostr relay implementation. The Crays version keeps that signal, then turns it into a plain-language map point instead of another cold list entry.
- Route. Relay and infrastructure research
- Workbook area. Relays / Infra
- Subcategory. Relay software
- Importance. Core
The Crays read
Crays needs this layer because venues, Super Nodes and local rooms cannot be designed from protocol romance alone. Uptime, cost, policy, geography, spam pressure and archive behavior all matter.
The writing rule is the same as the rest of the archive: explain the thing like a sharp friend would explain it over coffee, but keep the facts traceable enough that builders can follow up.
