I originally had the idea for the nostr:nprofile1qqsxhwmaw842y4zzzk580cfke4l5jr6xyh44v3v6pk59dnyzjm2a7vqcd5flv privacy edition hackathon, but couldn't build it myself since I was a judge. So I just decided to build it anyway 😂
Still super early and I will keep tinkering on it, but if you are curious: https://github.com/elsirion/broadnym
The stack is:
* Rust, obviously
* Leptos for the frontend

Privacy infrastructure was not built in a day, but it is being built!
What they don’t log, can’t be used against you.

Believe in privacy-first.
Believe in censorship-resistance.
Believe in security.
