Let's fix the web
I -Sebastian Hagens- believe any contribution to Nostr can have in potential an exponential benefit for all people. On this website I'm sharing all my contributions to the Nostr ecosystem.
Nyves
Work in progress. The idea is to bring back Hyves via Nostr. This project has been granted as a SIDN fonds pioniersproject in 2026 so I can allocate a decent amount of time to work on this project for a couple of months (May - Augustus 2026).
Kubo.watch
Work in progress. Building an YouTube Kids alternative (using Drupal) where parents curate the content for their children. This project is part of the Web of Trust foundation where I have a role as a board member (secretary).
For Android you can download the mobile app here: https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.kubo.app
Nostr-PHP
Building and maintaining this Nostr agnostic helper library for fellow PHP developers.
This project is supported by OpenSats with a 1-year grant in 2024.
Website: https://nostr-php.dev
Nuxtstack
Similar to MKstack (used by shakespeare.diy to create Nostr web applications) I've created a stack for building web applications using Nuxt (which uses the Vue Javascript framework).
CCNS.news
CCNS is a Nostr-focused community platform (using Drupal) centered around link aggregation. Anyone with a Nostr account is able to post links. This project has also implemented NIP-B0 (the web bookmarking Nostr Implementation Possibility).
Nuxstr
Nuxstr is a starter kit for building a Nostr client with the Nuxt Vue framework and Nostr Dev Kit (NDK).
Demo: https://nuxstr.nostrver.se
POSSE with Nostr
A keynote I gave at Nostriga 2024 about how we pivot away from API's with one of Nostr superpowers.
Nostr billboard
In September 2024 I managed to display this Nostr billboard for 2 weeks near the busy A58 highway in The Netherlands.
ZapLamp livestream
This is a neat DIY package from LNbits. Powered by a Arduino ESP32 dev board it was running a 24/7 livestream on zap.stream at my office and flashes when you send a zap to my lightning address sebastian@lnd.sebastix.com.
Nosto.re
This is an invite-only Blossom mediaserver for Nostr. Blossom enables distributed file storage with Nostr.
You can also open any nsite on nosto.re using the following structure: `https://<npub>.nosto.re`.
Besides this mediaserver I'm also running a relay for transmitting Blossom and nsite Nostr events wss://relay.nosto.re
nEcho
A concept for a micro app for managing your relay list to make sure you are "echoing" your relay list over the network with different event kinds.
