Nosta

Here lies the code (computer code, not some type of secret code) for the Nosta interactive experience, the antidote for Nostr profile setup anxiety.

Goal is to have a micro-app that onboards new Nostriches into the ecosystem as a whole by helping them set up their profiles and exposing them to all the things they can do on Nostr. Then ideally, the profile becomes a place that reflects their activities and they feel proud of. Part of this is also theming, which I look at like configuring your avatar in a video game.

Nosta is not a place for posting timely social media content, messaging, etc. The site links out to other apps that specialize in these. It focuses on setting up and displaying static profile information (name, about, follows, badges, lists...), and also showcasing some recent activity like zaps and products listed for sale.

This is a for-fun side project by Christoph. You can read the background story in the Bolt.fun Nostr hackathon pitch. You're more than welcome to contribute. Please start by messaging me or opening an issue to discuss your contribution before diving into code.
