Welcome to Broadcstr!

What is Broadcstr?

Broadcstr is the social media that you control and define the boundaries.

You can experience it right now! Already deployed in https://www.broadcstr.com !

It is built using Nostr: A simple, open protocol that enables a truly censorship-resistant and global social network.

Why Broadcstr?

Because it is like your social network, but:

• Private: Your account doesn't require e-mails or phone numbers. Start just with your pair of keys;
• Decentralized: Censorship resistance means no Big Techs! You control where your consume and post information;
• Value4Value: Reward your favorite content with Bitcoin Lightning Network! Tip and stack sats;
• Encrypted: Content are signed with the private key that only you have! And direct messages are encrypted with the same key. No one will ever get into your messages without your authorization. Ever;

About Nostr!

Want to know more about Nostr? Start here

Stack

Broadcstr was built using React.js with create-react-app and Chakra-ui.

Using https://github.com/nbd-wtf/nostr-tools for nostr requests/websocket connectivity.

Improving code each release. Still in Alpha.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in production/optimized mode, using the app on the build folder.

Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run dev

Runs the app in the development mode.

Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.

See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.

It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.

Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
