#10 🎁 Developer Tools / Guides, Updates and Releases 1. snow-actions/nostr - v1.8.2 snow-actions/nostr is a GitHub Action used to automatically send Nostr events from GitHub workflows. This release improves reliability and security by adding clearer proxy tags in notifications, strengthening tests, and updating multiple dependencies (including nostr-tools, ws, dotenv, eslint, jest, GitHub Actions libraries, and hashing modules). These updates benefit developers by ensuring better protocol compatibility, improved performance, enhanced security, and more stable automation when publishing Nostr events directly from CI/CD pipelines. Developed by: nostr:npub1s02jksmr6tgmcksf3hnmue7pyzlm0sxwarh7lk8tdeprw2hjg6ysp7fxtw Source: https://github.com/snow-actions/nostr/releases/tag/v1.8.2 2. Nostr Webhost (hostr) - v0.1.7 Nostr Webhost (hostr) is a command-line tool that lets you host and deploy Single Page Applications (SPAs) directly onto the Nostr network by publishing them through distributed relays instead of traditional web servers. In version v0.1.7, the project adds support for configuring both a local web server and relay settings, updates its build and release configuration, upgrades the Docker base image and GitHub Actions to Go 1.25, and refreshes dependency versions. These changes benefit developers by making deployments more flexible, improving compatibility and performance, and ensuring smoother, more reliable hosting of SPAs across Nostr’s decentralized infrastructure. This was the biggest update of the week, and there were another two releases (v0.1.6, v0.1.8) last week.

#11 🌐 Relay Updates and Releases 1. Nosflare - v7.7.15 Nosflare is a serverless Nostr relay built for Cloudflare Workers using a Cloudflare D1 database and R2 storage. This update introduces faster performance through new indexes, improved query handling, expanded caching, and several database-level optimizations. Because of these changes, relay operators must run a small SQL migration to add new cache tables, follow-graph views, and timeline caches. For users, this results in noticeably quicker feeds, more accurate follow-based timelines, and overall smoother event retrieval across the relay. This was the latest release, and there were also the releases of v7.6.15 and v7.4.13 last week.

Citrine - v0.9.0 Citrine is an Android-based Nostr relay, letting Android devices act as lightweight personal relays that any Nostr client can connect to for sending and receiving events. This release upgrades Citrine to the latest Quartz engine, adds proxy support and a backup system (with automatic retention of the last five backups), updates dependencies, and fixes issues where some events were missing during import/export, making it a more reliable and configurable mobile relay solution.
