Nostr Web Client

My goal with #Plebs was to make it the PeerTube of #Nostr. I think I’ve accomplished that. But with major improvements, imho, by making it a static site that can easily be loaded locally and leveraging Blossom hosts to offload the content in a way that’s better than ActivityPub. Time will tell, but if video views on PeerTube are any indicator, I suspect Plebs will remain very niche. Though, I wish more people on Nostr would use it to post videos. I pumped a lot of “blood, sweat, and tears” in building it and I’d hate to see it go to waste and become abandonware. A truly censorship-resistant, decentralized video platform with Bitcoin tips via zaps to content creators without any middleman is gonna be huge when people finally wake up to it.

This looks really cool, do you have a repo link? I'd love to see how it'd built :)

Why is the whole app in a single 10k+ line javascript file? Is this intentional?

As the code is right now there is no way i can read or even begin to understand how it works. How do you expect anyone to contribute to this or even fork it?

Yes, this is intentional. I wrote it in vanilla JS to avoid using a framework. This way, anyone can just run the index.html file without needing any dependencies or building. It lets the PWA be shared amongst anyone to make it truly usable for censorship-resistance.
