Starred and bookmarked. BBS over Nostr sounds exciting. Plus, old-man Java dev here, so anything that isn’t vibecoded JS/TS with thousand-line files, unreadable Rust contortions, or pretty reasonable Go code with an average of three race conditions for every ten LoCs (guilty of this myself) is a welcome addition to Nostr. Thanks for your service sir 🫡
It was running until the domain expired a few months ago: https://github.com/nostrium/java
Notably it could be accessed with telnet, ssh and telegram bot if you'd be in the mood. Was able to write blog posts, share files, play some text games and receive emails.
Got bored, moved to other stuff.

Top! Yes, just plain old Java objects doing very humbly what they are supposed to do.
I'm now writing https://geogram.radio where the server is also Java, same for the Android app because it helps people to stay in contact without internet. NOSTR is used for authentication and message exchange.
Will later add there what nostrium was doing. Text interfaces are more useful on low bandwidth communications such as radio, so the BBS will live there.
