Announcing NostrDVM 1.0.0.

After 1.5 years of experimenting, researching, and building, I'm happy to announce that NostrDVM - A Python framework to build and run Nip90 Data Vending Machines - hits version 1.0.0.

NostrDVM allows anybody to provide both free and paid micro services on #Nostr. This ranges from content discovery algorithms to image, text or video generation, translation services, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, music generation, basically whatever you can imagine, now and in the future.

You might have come across some of these services in some of the social clients or in DVM specific clients, most likely for content discovery.

The framework handles all NIP90 logic, and manages NIP89 announcing DVMs, zaps, nutzaps, encrypted and public tasks, local databases, web of trust, NWC, outbox model, auth with filehosters and a whole bunch of other NIPs, so developers can focus to bring their existing code, models or API to Nostr.

Tutorials to quickly start are provided on GitHub as well.

My hope is this framework can help developers, both professional and hobby enthusiasts to build new, and enrich existing services on Nostr, improving the experience around clients for all users and compete in an open marketplace of services. I'm excited to see who will build the best content discovery algorithms, or who will provide the best AI models in the future.

I'm grateful and l'd like to give a big thank you to nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9ruspzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs2juazd for making it possible to focus my energy on this project in the last year. It was my pleasure and an honor.

I will continue to maintain DVMs (actually I recently deployed them on a new, more powerful server) and the framework itself, maybe at a bit lower pace than recently, and my DMs are open if you have questions or issues building your own DVMs.

You can install NostrDVM by running

pip install nostr-dvm
