About contact cloud

Contact Cloud is an open-source experiment that visualizes the Nostr contact-list graph. It plots public keys as points in a 2D layout, colors them using Louvain community detection, and arranges them with a force-directed method called Force2Vec. The project explores whether the closeness of points in that layout could eventually be used to recommend Nostr pubkeys to follow; the README describes this as an aim rather than a shipped feature.

Key features

  • Plots Nostr contact-list graph as points in 2D
  • Colors nodes using Louvain community detection
  • Arranges points with Force2Vec force-directed layout
  • Built on a dataset from sps.bio
  • Includes a linked live demo
  • Dataset covers roughly 30 days before 2023-10-12
Best for: Developers and Nostr users interested in exploring the structure of contact-list relationships between public keys.
Good for
  • Published under the MIT license with source files and a live demo available
  • Combines community detection and force-directed layout in one view
  • States its dataset scope, including the contact-count threshold and date range
Watch out for
  • Described by its author as an experiment, with pubkey recommendation only framed as a possibility
  • Only includes contact list events with at least 5 contacts from roughly the 30 days before 2023-10-12, so the graph is a fixed snapshot
  • Depends on third-party data from sps.bio
