Been working on some graph infrastructure for Nostr to enable more features in our Lightning suite, so I slopped together a general nostr client to test its performance and comprehensiveness vs. standard bearers like primal and to use in the Nosfabrica hackathon demo

Rather than connecting directly to relays, BXRD uses a shared graph so any user activity makes it more performant for all users. This graph also comes in handy for computing web-of-trust scores.

The architecture of BXRD also makes it useful for external linking, clean namespace links based on nymrank which work for opengraph cards and server side rendering without an intermediary service like njump

Also this allowed for web-push notifications for the PWA

CLINK wallet connections sync across devices via NIP78, and use your own nostr key to pair to your shockwallet

It's in a good enough state that it's now my primary nostr client, only thing missing of note is uploading rich media (todo: with Lightning.Video's forthcoming api v2).

DM's are there, just not the nip17 giftwrap nonsense, but i'll look at that more closely eventually...

Caveats:

Will get better as I keep using it and finding things I need/want, or send me reports if you use it. It may get bounced frequently as I deploy changes.

Supply chain not yet audited, this has been on a back-burner off and on for months so is using some older deps that could have unpatched vulns... but also nothing so new that there's a postInstall attack that no one has caught yet.

Content is only indexed if the author passes the WoT threshold, which is currently about 200k keys... so if you don't have an established nostr presence and want to use it let me know and I'll throw you a follow

I felt the need to set up a small project to work on our own, and I’ve been working out the details this week. Thanks for this space, best wishes!

the Azaryan iron cross

article

"When he lowered to his iron cross, he turned his head to face one of the judges and asked, “Is this long enough?” — all while holding a steady cross. He realized two more judges were sitting behind the rings, so he pressed up a bit, turned his body sideways, and lowered back down and repeated the question."

I've been doing maintenance + code review + admin so far for the most part.

Otherwise, I'm continuing to work on adding an internal wallet and all that that requires, which given everything else I have to do and rather do is frustrating. The last miles are the longest they say. To cheer myself up, I might reduce the half life of lit.
