4. Difference between a Nostr client and a relay
A client is the app you interact with like YakiHonne, It holds your keys, signs events, and displays content. A relay is the backend server that stores and routes events. The client talks to relays; relays don't talk to each other directly. Think of the client as your email app (Outlook, Gmail) and the relay as the mail server , they're separate roles, and you can mix and match any client with any relay
