a crisp Nostr client from Bavaria

Code Analysis

14 files read · 4 rounds

A privacy-focused Nostr client PWA that displays location-based feeds using geohash cells (never exact coordinates), with NIP-52 calendar events, NIP-04 DMs, NIP-96 media upload, and client-side moderation.

Strengths

Genuinely thoughtful privacy architecture (geohash truncation, encrypted key storage, no outbox model, consent-gated persistence) combined with deep implementation of multiple Nostr NIPs (04, 52, 96, 98) and non-trivial pagination/batch-merge logic that handles real-world relay edge cases.

Weaknesses

The nostrClient.ts file at 42KB is a monolith that could benefit from further decomposition, and while tests exist for core logic, the e2e coverage is minimal (only 2 spec files) and some complex flows like DM decryption and relay reconnection lack dedicated test suites.
