"nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" and is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf.

Protocol

nostr - overview and FAQ
NIPs - the "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" describe the protocol in technical detail
nostr, a basic tour - an intro to nostr

Relays

Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.

Implementations

NNostr - a C# 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 relay that requires payment for registration
me.untethr.nostr-relay - a relay written in Clojure
Minds Nostr Relay - a relay for Minds, an open source social network
- Minds Engine - Nostr - relevant Minds API code for reading/writing Minds posts using Nostr
NostrPostr Relay - a Kotlin Relay supporting both SQLite and Postgresql

Instances

Instances are plenty and their availability may vary but these projects track them:

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

Clients

branle - a Twitter-like client with chat. Some instances:
- branle.netlify.app - by fiatjaf
- nostr.rocks
- branle.wlvs.space
- branle tor - on tor
astral - a branle fork with global feed and UI makeover
- astral.ninja
damus - a twitter-like nostr client for iOS and MacOS
- damus on testflight
more-speech - desktop client for nostr written in Clojure
futr - nostr client desktop app written in Haskell
nvote, Nvote is a decentralized, vote-driven community similar to services like Reddit and HackerNews. Nvote is powered by nostr
- nvote.co
Minds - open source social network. Supports reading and creating posts using the Nostr protocol
alphaama - playground by Tiago Balas
Jester - Chess over nostr
Sendstr - shared clipboard between devices over nostr
noscl - a basic command-line client written in Go
loquaz - a desktop app written in Rust for direct encrypted chat

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
