nostr is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf

Protocol

• nostr, main repo with specs
• protocol specification, NIPS protocol specs
• nostr, a basic tour, nostr intro by @raj

Videos

• applications on nostr, store and run applications in a decentralized manner
• lightning hacksprint CCC, an introductory chat about nostr
• nostr-twitter, building a decentralised twitter on the NOSTR network

Sites

• branle.netlify.app, fiatjaf's branle site

Relays

• nostr relay registry, real-time checking of status of some known relays.

Relay implementations

• NNostr, a C# Nostr relay.
• nostr-rs-relay, a minimalistic relay written in Rust that saves data on SQLite.
• Relayer Basic, a simple relay based on relayer backed by Postgres.
• rsslay, a bridge that puts RSS feeds into Nostr.
• nodestr, A Node.js implementation.
• expensive relay, a nostr relay that requires payment for registration

Clients

• branle, a Twitter-like client with chat (several live sites can be found above)
• noscl, a basic command-line client written in Go.
• loquaz, a desktop app written in Rust for direct encrypted chat.
• chastr, a mobile directed encrypted chat app written in Xamarin.

Libraries

• NNostr.Client, a C# Nostr library for use by clients.
• nostr-tools, a JavaScript client that abstracts the relay management code for use by clients.
• go-nostr, a Go library that implements relay management, plus event encoding and signing utils.
• nostr-rs, a Rust implementation of the nostr protocol.
• relayer, a server framework for writing custom relays.

Tools

• nostr registry, a database of known relays with their uptime and NIP support tables.
• nostr-launch, a tool for launching a bunch of relays and clients locally for development and testing.
• nostr signer extension, browser extension for signing events on 3rd party site without sharing your private keys with them
