Posted here two weeks ago about Obelisk when I shipped it at @La Crypta 's IDENTITY Hackathon. It's been through a heavy rewrite since. The Nostr relay based groups I had as 'next on the roadmap' last time are shipped.
A few things I leaned into because Nostr makes them possible:
- Nostr only. You go with your identity.
- Nostr relay based groups. Channels, replies, reactions, admins, kicks, bans.
- Channel categories and ordering. Discord-style sidebar, drag and drop.
- Voice channels. Relay coordinated, peer to peer voice and media channels.
- Encrypted DMs. End-to-end, only you and the recipient.
- Zaps in every message. Send sats to any message.
- Blossom media. Use your own storage for images and files.
- No backend, no database. Pure frontend, talks straight to relays.

A few things I leaned into because Nostr makes them possible:
WoT-gated registration. Spam resistance comes from your follow graph, not captchas. If the server's reference Nostr account follows you, you're in.
- Zaps in every message via Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47).
- Archon, a resident bot + admin CLI that any AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can drive to run the community.
- Games built in. Play Chain Reaction, Chess, or Tic-Tac-Toe against other members right inside the server.
- Kind-0 profiles. Your Nostr identity just shows up correctly.
- Real-time messaging over Socket.io, voice channels over a WebSocket audio relay, self-hostable via Docker.
Next on the roadmap is Nostr relay-based groups, so the whole thing becomes interoperable with the wider Nostr ecosystem instead of a walled garden.
It's fully open and the public showcase server is open to anyone with a Nostr key. Come log in and break things:
