This PR adds my final evaluation blog post in
_posts/2026-08-23-one-relay-for-every-os-breaking-strfry-out-of-linux.mdfor Summer of Bitcoin 2026.Project: Cross Platform Support and Performance Optimization (Propose your own Idea)
Organization: strfry
Mentors: Doug (@hoytech)
The post covers what I set out to build (bringing cross-platform Mac and Windows compatibility to the strfry relay and building a hardware-independent benchmarking system), what shipped, the major technical decisions (abstracting platform-specific C++ logic instead of relying on messy #ifdef directives, ditching dynamic CI runners for local relative benchmarking, and navigating intricate submodule dependencies for MSYS2 support), what I learned balancing open-source contributions with college placement season and Wing Coordinator duties, and what's next.
