• nostr-tools

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+ and pnpm (or use nix develop with the included flake)

Install & Run

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Build

pnpm build
pnpm preview  # preview the production build

Authentication

On the login screen, enter a relay URL and choose a signing method:

• Extension (NIP-07) — Browser extension like nos2x or Alby
• Bunker (NIP-46) — Remote signing via a bunker URL
• nsec — Direct private key entry (stored in memory only, never persisted)

API calls to the relay are authenticated with NIP-98 HTTP auth events.

Development

pnpm dev          # start dev server
pnpm build        # production build
pnpm test         # run unit tests (vitest)
pnpm test:e2e     # run e2e tests (playwright)
pnpm check        # svelte-check + type checking
pnpm format       # format with prettier
pnpm lint         # check formatting

Nix

A flake.nix is included for reproducible development environments with Node.js 22, pnpm, and Playwright:

nix develop
