Nostr Web Client

Social audio is important because it provides a new and engaging way for people to connect, learn, share their stories, and build their communities. It is also a valuable tool for businesses and organizations to reach their audiences and build relationships. With this in mind, I knew that having an audio space outside of Twitter Spaces would be vital for nostr adoption, and set out to make this happen in January 2022.

The current [Nostr Nests](https://nostrnests.com) is a fork of the open source Jam System project, with custom user interface, Nostr npub verification, and several enhancements such as account restoration, discovery, and a minimal API. It served as a great starting point for a Nostr audio space, providing users all over the world with a platform for daily shows, weekly podcasts, and places for Nostriches to meetup and chat live with one another. It’s a great success. However, it’s not a complete success and it will never be in its current form.

It has always been a dream of mine for Nostr Nests to be a full blown Nostr client, instead of loosely integrating Nostr into Jam's existing account verification system. My dream and vision for Nests is for anyone to be able to host a Nest on their own server or infrastructure and use Nostr NIP-53 Live Activities to publish their Nest to their Nostr relays, allowing anyone with a compatible client to discover and join their Nest. This is similar to how Zap.stream works on Snort and Amethyst clients. This functionality also helps decentralize Nostr Nests, so not one entity runs the audio backend. It is my hope to provide easy access to the open source code and installation instructions on https://nostrnests.org for all.

Several months ago, the groundwork for building Nests as a proper Nostr client began, but has since stopped. Even with open sourcing the project and seeking developer help, these efforts have failed. This bounty is another attempt at getting this project off of the ground and allowing those that use Nostr Nests on a daily basis to pledge their sats to help fund this project.

As my vision for Nostr Nests is a very large project, this project will be split into two bounties. The first bounty will aim to have the rewrite of Nostr Nests be feature compatible with the Jam System forked version with several quality of life enhancements. The second bounty aims to cover application customizations, feature additions, and individual Nest customizations (icons, badges, emojis, etc.) to provide Nest owners with tools to build their community and reward their participants and listeners.

Testing out shipyard.pub by nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

Anyone curious how a note could be a prism? You should check out NIP 57 - Appendix G. NIP 57 is where all the specs for zaps live.

Appendix G specifies that a note can have many 'zap' tags each with a *pubkey* and *relative split*. Clients that support this will calculate the receiving address of each pubkey, and how much to send based on the percentage of their split relative to the total being zapped.

Under the hood, the client is individually zapping each recipient.

Go to any prism created by nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw and inspect the raw event detail to see what I mean. You'll hopefully see something like this:

[

"zap",

I’m excited to announce an awesome update to our nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw website!

https://makeprisms.com/create

- Create prisms on any post EVER (no tag needed) 🎉

- Create prisms on any user’s post (not just your posts) 🫂

- Create prisms for up to 25 people 👪

- Create multiple prisms on the same post ($boost & $comment) 👏

- Instant creation of prisms (no more waiting 12 hours) ⏩

- Integrated zapper for one click zaps ⚡

One of the first posts that pulled me into Nostr was from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m who compared Nostr to early Twitter, but better. Thanks to everyone who reposted or commented on that post. I’ve been hooked ever since. With a few clicks, I can now create and zap a prism to the first 21 people that reposted and another one to the first 21 people that commented on that post. You all can too. Thank you 🙏 🚀

There's not really any obfuscation. And in the case of $prism you are still making individual payments.

I need help! Our 1st child is on the way and trying to research #vaccines feels impossible.

I don't trust the CDC but 0 vaccines doesn't feel like the right answer either.

The covid stuff was suspicious as hell so I opted out and ignored everything #vaccine related. Maybe they've been a #psyop since the beginning. Maybe vaccines started noble but have been captured by greed. 🤷

Do y'all #plebs have some thoughts, tips, or resources?

Please #zap or $boost for visibility. #plebchain $prism

Yep, there is no prism on the original note. The prism will be created after some time or a certain amount of events. You should get a notif when your prism is created. nostr:note1pjcrx34uy9za77uyr3laymrzusgfml8x4xdguzljhm23k0ujah3sa82dt8

What is a lightning prism?

Basically, it's a way of splitting payments or turning one payment into many. A prism could be identified by something like a note (this is what nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw) is doing.

However, there are other ways to implement prisms. A prism could be represented by an LNURL or even a BOLT 12 offer. Whenever, say, an offer is paid, the full amount paid gets split and sent out to each member of the prism based on each member's relative split.

Checkout https://roygbiv.guide to see a multi-author blog that utilizes BOLT 12 prisms.

Basically if your post containing $boost gets 10 reposts than a boost is created, then it might zap you some sats, then you can zap the boost and it splits the money to all registers to reward them for boosting it.

gudnuf 2y ago

After 10 reposts a prism will be created as a SEPARATE note. There will not be any automatic zapping. A user must zap the newly created note from a client that supports zap splits in order to pay everyone that reposted.
