I personally think the fun part about Nostr as a network is that it doesn't have a centralized "steady state" source of truth. Depending on what parts of the network you're hooked up to and how you interact with them, there's an amorphous version of your npub out there that looks different depending on what lenses (relays? clients?) it's being observed through.

We need more open source tools like this available widely and implemented in clients to provide an effective "steady state" of things for users, but ultimately it's up to all of us as users to implement them for ourselves and control our own truth.

Have you noticed zaps going to an outdated wallet or old profile data appearing in some clients? It’s likely that you have stale metadata still stored on a relay somewhere.

No worries – the Metadata Updater makes it easy to refresh your information. Originally a script, it's now a simple web application that you can host locally or share publicly.

You can also try out my publicly hosted dev instance @ https://dev.nostpy.lol/updater.



Very open to suggestions as well!
