Personal Microclient

Aren't you tired of distracting social media platforms? So many buttons and advertising makes a simple task of reading and composing notes to your community very draining. You can use a next generation social media protocol to transform your personal website into a micro social media client that will clear up space on your phone for media.

I'm using ProseMirror, to build a WYSIWYM style rich text editor for visitors to compose notes with. I'm taking inspiration from tumblr and medium's text editors to build something minimal and intuitive that will run easily via browsers.

I scaffolded the project with PWA Builder and am using Lit to power up my Web Components. The website utilizes the Nostr protocol to sign in via browser extension to fetch profile metadata and pull event kinds 0, 1, and 30023 from a relay.

If you're on any chrome-based, firefox or safari browser try visiting the webpage then tapping on the arrow pointing up in the bottom toolbar. Scroll down a bit to tap on "Add to Home Screen". If you're on a chromium-based browser you should be able to do the same.

TODO
