perf: fast relay reads, eliminate blocking queries#59
Merged
Conversation
- NostrProvider: read from 3 fast relays only (damus, primal, nos.lol ~200ms) but publish to all 6 for broad distribution. NPool.query() waits for ALL relays to EOSE, so slow/unresponsive relays (nostr.band, ditto, wine) were blocking every query for 5-8s. - useLatestEpisode: removed fetchLivestreamStarts — single relay query now instead of two sequential. created_at is sufficient for finding latest. - useInfiniteEpisodes: removed fetchLivestreamStarts — episodes render immediately instead of waiting for a second relay roundtrip.

Problem
Homepage latest episode took 8s to load. Episodes page rendered all at once.
Root Cause
useLatestEpisodeanduseInfiniteEpisodesmade TWO sequential relay queries (episodes → livestream starts), doubling latency.Changes
fetchLivestreamStarts— single query instead of two sequential.created_atis sufficient for determining latest episode.fetchLivestreamStarts— episodes render immediately instead of waiting for second relay roundtrip.Result
