Nostr Compass is a technical resource for the Nostr protocol, helping developers, relay operators, and builders stay current on protocol evolution. We publish weekly newsletters covering NIP proposals, client updates, relay developments, and notable code changes. Our podcast features conversations with the developers building Nostr. The topic index documents key concepts with links to primary sources.
Nostr Compass #2 is out. This week covers three NIP-55 signer updates including Primal Android joining as a full local signer, Shopstr's new Zapsnags flash sale feature, and Mostro's development fund. Four NIP changes landed with Public Messages (kind 24) and major group privacy improvements in NIP-29. On the library side, NDK cache queries got 162x faster and Tenex introduced RAL architecture for AI agent delegation. The deep dive explains NIP-02 and NIP-10, the foundational specs for follow lists and reply threading that make social timelines and conversations work. Essential reading if you're building anything that displays feeds or handles replies. View article →
