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:…

LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void. Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech. But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities. We’ve already…

Nostria, a fully peer-to-peer social protocol designed to eliminate reliance on centralised message relays - a common bottleneck in the Nostr ecosystem. Led by long-time open-source contributor Sondre Bjellås (https://github.com/sondreb/), they are currently raising a small pre-seed round to develop the minimum viable product (MVP) and expand our user base. We would love to get feedback from the HN community: - What do you think of the approach? - Are there any technical issues you can see? - Is anyone here experimenting with alternative Nostr architectures?

For the past 5 years or so I've been working on a ground-up redesign of Freenet, my peer-to-peer project from the early 2000s (now renamed Hyphanet). The new Freenet has been up and running since December along with some early applications like River[1], our decentralized group chat and Delta - a decentralized CMS. Users have already started to build their own apps on Freenet including games, and we have some interesting apps in development like Atlas, a search/recommendation engine. Architecturally, this new Freenet is a global, decentralized key-value store where keys are webassembly…

Hey HN! I'm trying to create a community of people that are willing to contribute to the OpenDolphin project. The goal of the project is to build an Open Source _centralized_ social network that would ideally compete with Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The main difference between the well established social and this one would be that it is going to be built and managed in the public, in the most transparent way possible. Features will be implemented and requested by the community - and generally speaking everything would be community-centric. If the project takes off, this might become one…
