Chronicl is a web application that enables users to archive content from URLs using the decentralized Nostr protocol. By connecting to various Nostr relays, users can create and manage archives that are stored in a distributed manner, ensuring resilience and accessibility.
- Generate Keys: Users generate cryptographic keys (private and public) upon initializing the app.
- Connect to Relays: The application connects to multiple Nostr relays to ensure reliable communication and data storage.
- Archive Creation: Users can archive content by submitting URLs. The application packages the content into an event and signs it using the user's private key.
- Publish Events: The signed events are published to the connected Nostr relays, making them available across the decentralized network.
- Retrieve Archives: Users can view their previous archives, which are fetched from the relays, showing only the latest entry for each day to keep the interface clean and manageable.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive UI for fetching, archiving, and viewing content.
- Real-Time Updates: Connects to multiple Nostr relays to ensure up-to-date content and archives.
- Efficient Archive Management: Only the latest archive for each day is displayed, reducing clutter and enhancing readability.
- Error Handling: Provides clear error messages to improve user experience.
- Frontend: React, JavaScript, CSS
- Backend: Nostr protocol (via
nostr-tools), WebSockets for real-time data fetching - Deployment: This app can be deployed on any static hosting service (e.g., Vercel, Netlify).
