Buho-Ecosystem

Maria is Done with Renting

What if the proof of who you are online belonged to you, and not to the companies you borrow it from?

Well.. That escalated quickly - One year later

I tried to onboard my friends to Lightning. It flopped. Seventeen months later, the story took a very different turn…

Nostr-Core, Your New Favorite Libary

Building on Nostr Shouldn't Feel Like Decoding a Protocol Spec

Forty-Eight NIPs, One Import

Most Nostr libraries give you the basics. nostr-core gives you the protocol.

Your Ecash Works Everywhere NWC Does

If an app supports Nostr Wallet Connect, you can power it with ecash from a Cashu mint. Your sats, your mint, their app.

The Library That Doesn't Lock You In

No OAuth. No API keys. No vendor. Just the protocol.

What nostr-core Actually Is

You want to build on Nostr. You don't want to fight the protocol to get there.

One Class, One Connection String

The entire NWC spec in five lines of code. That's not a simplification; it's the actual API.

Media Without Middlemen

Upload, retrieve, mirror, delete. Content-addressed blobs on Blossom servers, authenticated with your Nostr key.

Navigate Nostr

Agents don't need more protocol knowledge. They need to know where to look.

Teaching Agents to Build

AI agents are only as good as the instructions they get. We wrote ten.

Every Blog You've Written, Now on Nostr

Point it at a feed. Get signed long-form events back. Your archive, finally yours.

Your Photos, Your Keys

Picture-first feeds come to Nostr. Kind 20, full metadata, no platform in the middle.

Finding Mints You Can Trust

Your follows already know which mints are good. NIP-87 lets you ask them instead of a hardcoded list.

Mail, Minus the Mail Server

To, Cc, and a Bcc that stays blind by construction. Email-shaped messaging over gift wrap.

Your Settings Follow Your Keys

Kind 30078 turns relays into a personal database. Preferences on every device, no account system.

Lightning Without the Lightning Code

You don't need to understand Lightning internals to accept and send payments. A connection string and five methods cover most use cases.

Nostr Needs Boring Infrastructure

The protocol is interesting. The libraries should be boring. That's a good thing.

Build a Nostr Client From Scratch

Everything you need for a social client lives in one import. Keys, events, relays, encryption, threads, reactions. All typed, all ready.

Mobile Nostr Relay

Citrine on Android: Your Own Nostr Relay for Zap Tracking

Your Mint. Your Rules.

You run a Cashu mint. You built the thing. NUTbits lets you do something with it.

The Editor That Quietly Learned to Publish

Rinbal's minimal texteditor is a clean Python writing app for Linux, Mac, and Windows. I forked it and added Nostr: pick an account, hit publish, approve on your phone, and your note or long-form article goes straight to the relays you chose.

Why I Built NostrLens

NostrLens gives Nostr developers a real-time window into relay data, making it easier to inspect, debug, and understand what is actually happening on the protocol layer.
