Hi @hodlbod,
While exploring the relay settings page, I noticed that the descriptions for the inbox relays and the outbox relays seem to be swapped.

Currently:
Inbox relays are described as where users send notes and
Outbox relays are described as where users receive notes.

However, based on standard NOSTR terminology
Inbox relays should be described as where users receive notes and
Outbox relays should be described as where users send notes.

Just wanted to bring this up, in case it's unintended. As it might be confusing for users while configuring their relays
