Overview

Nostr Web provides a novel approach to website hosting by utilizing the Nostr protocol, a decentralized network for publishing and relaying messages. Instead of relying on central servers, content is distributed across the Nostr network, making it inherently more resistant to censorship and single points of failure. To access websites hosted via Nostr Web, users need to install a dedicated browser extension, currently available for Chrome and Firefox, which acts as the gateway to this decentralized web. The core value proposition of Nostr Web lies in its ability to offer a truly open and resilient platform for online content. By decoupling content from traditional hosting infrastructure, it empowers individuals and organizations to publish information without fear of arbitrary removal or control. The project is built on open-source components, including a publisher tool, NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities), and the browser extension itself, fostering a collaborative environment for its development and adoption.
