Hey HN, First time submitter here. After a FOSS related interaction required me to use Google Forms 9 months, I wondered on why no such FOSS tool existed and decided to build it myself.

We built Nostr Web, a new way to publish and host websites that live entirely on the Nostr network instead of centralized servers. Each website is a collection of signed, verifiable Nostr events distributed across relays—so it can’t be taken down, censored, or lost. It includes: • DNS TXT records for domain-based discovery (_nweb.domain.com) • CLI publisher tool for versioned deployments (nw-publisher) • Browser extension (nw-extension) for native browsing experience • Relay v1.3.5 support for Nostr Web event kinds Try the live demo: https://nweb.shugur.com Repos:…
