About nostr

Nostr is a web client for the Nostr protocol, a social media network. It connects to relays, which are servers that store and pass along notes, and displays those notes. Users can sign in and browse several feeds, including Following, Global, a custom feed, and a feed labeled "Your algorithm."

The homepage shows no notes until the client connects to relays. When connected, it lists the relays with read/write access, such as relay.damus.io and nos.lol. The source does not explain how the algorithmic feed ranks content, what sign-in requires, or whether any costs apply. The client is listed as not open source, while the Nostr protocol itself is described on the homepage as free and open source.
