Shakespeare is for everyone to be able to build anything. nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 explained recently during a presentation at Nostr Valley in State College!

💡 When you choose Claude Opus 4.5 as your AI provider in Shakespeare, you can simply do one-word prompts. RIP "prompt engineering." In Shakespeare, just type "portfolio" and it does this automatically. It has all the info on your npub from your Nostr profile, which is how you log into Shakespeare. Here's the one nostr:npub1nl8r463jkdtr0qu0k3dht03jt9t59cttk0j8gtxg9wea2russlnq2zf9d0 made in the pic. Get started: https://shakespeare.diy/

Make an Instagram alt with a one-word prompt. Log into Shakespeare, choose Claude Opus 4.5, then type "Instagram." (Cost: $8.70 with Claude Opus 4.5 via OpenRouter).

You've each been zapped 87k sats!

For the prize in functional Innovation, we loved Block Cemetery by Code Orange. Block Cemetery is a live Bitcoin block explorer built on Nostr, where each new block rises from the grave in real time.

Finally, our Judge's Choice prize goes to Haunted Relay Scanner

by Geek. This creative take on a relay status tracker demonstrates both the spirit of Halloween and the massive power of Nostr. 👻

To kick off the opening of 🎭 Shakespeare: Act II, we invite you to participate in our first monthly Challenge event! This month’s theme: Halloween 🎃

We’ll be giving away 87k sats of prizes for the best submissions in 3 categories: Design Excellence, Functional Innovation, and Judge’s Choice.

Submit your app by Oct 31 to join the challenge!

Today we are thrilled to officially announce the opening of 🎭 Shakespeare: Act II.

Act II is a dramatic improvement over the first version of Shakespeare. We have completely rewritten the codebase from the ground up to make it the most freedom-respecting AI web builder available.

Read more: https://soapbox.pub/blog/announcing-shakespeare-act-2

Try it here: https://shakespeare.diy/

What makes Act II different:

1. Runs entirely in the browser: Unlike Act 1, where your project files were stored remotely on our NSP servers, now all of your projects are stored locally in your browser — so you retain all control and full privacy.

2. Full AI provider and model choice: Before, you were locked into only the providers and models available from NSPs. With Act II, you can configure ANY AI provider you want. Bring your own credentials from your favorite provider like PerPerQ, Routstr, OpenAI, Z.ai, and Anthropic; use our pre-configured Shakespeare AI provider (with both free + paid tiers), or even run your own local model! This is the most choice of ANY AI web builder we’re aware of.

3. Complete development environment in the browser: We’ve built a text editor, terminal, and git version control integration directly into Shakespeare.

The new changes we’ve made to the architecture of Shakespeare unlock new possibilities. One feature we’re most excited about is the ability to “Edit With Shakespeare.”

Find any compatible open source project and start improving it in Shakespeare with one click! This is the power of open source, and with AI it’s finally accessible to everyone — no matter your technical level.

Want to try it? Pick any app or template from our showcase and click “Edit with Shakespeare”!

Showcase: https://soapbox.pub/showcase

Need help?

We know debugging is always the worst part of building. We’ve built multiple new tools into Shakespeare to make it easier, including an in-web console to show errors, and a friendly assistant called Quilly who may make an appearance to alert you to key errors. Keep an eye out for him!

We’ve also built out a detailed Shakespeare resource center with an FAQ and guides on how to get the most out of Shakespeare.

Resource center: https://soapbox.pub/shakespeare-resources/

Truth Social chose to use open source software, and ultimately motivated our CEO, nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p , to switch from working on the Fediverse to Nostr. Alex shares the story of how it all went down. 👇

In July, we launched #ShakespeareDIY, a conversational AI builder. Just tell it what you want to build and it does it. It sounds easy, and it is. Since this is still a new idea, DevRel nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 is here to answer questions! Here's his full demo: https://youtu.be/pK9gHjQr7nc

Our CEO, nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p , thinks the role of a software developer is akin to an artist, creatively combining tools to craft something unique. With AI tools like Shakespeare, even those without coding skills can now bring their ideas to life. No coding skills needed to create...🤯

🌎 Open source makes everything better, especially geocaching. By decentralizing your hobby, your geocaches are stored on the Nostr network, ensuring they're always accessible and censorship-resistant. Plus, say goodbye to pay-to-play paywalls! 🚀 https://loom.ly/KrFEkT0

"Create a website that tracks mentions of this hashtag..." or "Create a single-player game with a leaderboard..." or "Create an eCommerce site where I can sell my..." 💡 With Shakespeare, your conversational prompts put you just minutes away from seeing your next great idea come to life. https://shakespeare.diy/

🛬 Shakespeare has arrived! This new AI-powered website builder creates any type of website or web app. Unlike other platforms, Shakepeare lets you build freely and open source. There's no platform lock-in & you own your data through Nostr. https://soapbox.pub/tools/shakespeare

It's also a play on the terminal command "mkdir" which stands for "make a new directory" (folder).
