What is Swarmstr?

Swarmstr is a bit like Quora or StackOverflow but as social media commons built on top of Nostr.

React front-end is served by express.

Dependencies

Requires redis (server side caching), postgres (nostr addresses database) and a separate search relay (https://github.com/darashi/searchnos) for search results.

Both back-end and front-end use NDK to interact with nostr.

Upon successful application start, a subscription to a given hashtag is started. By default only events no older than ~ 7 days will be fetched (you can change that in server/server.tsx -> EVENTS_SINCE variable). Received events are re-broadcasted to the search relay.

IndexedDB is used for caching on the client side (dexie).
