Shakespeare is for everyone to be able to build anything. @Derek Ross explained recently during a presentation at Nostr Valley in State College!

As we work on the final touches for the Christmas Day episode of Soapbox Sessions, please enjoy us at our worst. Here's @Derek Ross having a bit of a problem...talking. 😉

Our Monday night vibe coding sessions with @Derek Ross are a great opportunity to ask all your vibe coding questions while seeing what the Shakespeare community has been building. Join us in two hours on @HiveTalk :

Vibe Coding Jam Session #3

Vibe Coding Jam Session #3. Bring your code, your questions and your good vibes.

💡 When you choose Claude Opus 4.5 as your AI provider in Shakespeare, you can simply do one-word prompts. RIP "prompt engineering." In Shakespeare, just type "portfolio" and it does this automatically. It has all the info on your npub from your Nostr profile, which is how you log into Shakespeare. Here's the one @MAKE SONGS LONGER made in the pic. Get started:

Shakespeare - Open Source AI Builder

Build custom apps with AI assistance using Shakespeare, an open-source development environment

Make an Instagram alt with a one-word prompt. Log into Shakespeare, choose Claude Opus 4.5, then type "Instagram." (Cost: $8.70 with Claude Opus 4.5 via OpenRouter).

Plebs are building some pretty awesome stuff these days for Nostr just by vibe coding. One thing we discovered from Nostr Valley last month is Rustr by @Rustr Intern !

It's time for another live vibe coding session hosted by @Derek Ross ! Join us tonight on ostr:npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk as we talk all things open source development on Nostr using a little coding assistance from Shakespeare. Bring questions & show off your projects:

🏆 Congrats to @Code Orange Dev School @Geektoshi and @Studio 3.14 Official for winning our #Shakespeare Halloween Hackathon! You've each been zapped 87k sats! For the prize in functional Innovation, we loved Block Cemetery by Code Orange. Block Cemetery is a live Bitcoin block explorer built on Nostr, where each new block rises from the grave in real time. https://npub1gzvs8egve0vnvhvcg7qjtdg2ryht48jqs3t3rhqtr6x4wcqklddqkdd7uc.nosto.re/ For the design category, we were impressed by Spookstr by Studio314Official. Spookstr is a paranormal Nostr community, complete with notes, groups, events, podcasts, and more! https://spookstr2.shakespeare.wtf/ Finally, our Judge's Choice prize goes to Haunted Relay Scanner by Geek. This creative take on a relay status tracker demonstrates both the spirit of Halloween and the massive power of Nostr. 👻 https://haunted-forest-scanner.shakespeare.wtf/ Thank you to everyone who participated! #Nostr #Bitcoin #ShakespeareDIY #VibeCoding #GrowNostr

@Derek Ross presenting now at @NostrValley on how #Shakespeare helps everyday people contribute to open source. 🎭

Monday night is the night we jump on @HiveTalk for a live vibe coding session with the one and only @Derek Ross .

Halloween Hackathon 2025 - Soapbox

Build spooky apps with Shakespeare and win 87k sats per category in our Halloween theme challenge!

Today we are thrilled to officially announce the opening of 🎭 Shakespeare: Act II. Act II is a dramatic improvement over the first version of Shakespeare. We have completely rewritten the codebase from the ground up to make it the most freedom-respecting AI web builder available. Read more:

Shakespeare Act 2 transforms from a simple AI website builder into a full-featured development environment, entirely in your browser (no downloads ...

Try it here:

Shakespeare - Open Source AI Builder

Build custom apps with AI assistance using Shakespeare, an open-source development environment

What makes Act II different: 1. Runs entirely in the browser: Unlike Act 1, where your project files were stored remotely on our NSP servers, now all of your projects are stored locally in your browser — so you retain all control and full privacy. 2. Full AI provider and model choice: Before, you were locked into only the providers and models available from NSPs. With Act II, you can configure ANY AI provider you want. Bring your own credentials from your favorite provider like PerPerQ, Routstr, OpenAI, Z.ai, and Anthropic; use our pre-configured Shakespeare AI provider (with both free + paid tiers), or even run your own local model! This is the most choice of ANY AI web builder we’re aware of. 3. Complete development environment in the browser: We’ve built a text editor, terminal, and git version control integration directly into Shakespeare. The new changes we’ve made to the architecture of Shakespeare unlock new possibilities. One feature we’re most excited about is the ability to “Edit With Shakespeare.” Find any compatible open source project and start improving it in Shakespeare with one click! This is the power of open source, and with AI it’s finally accessible to everyone — no matter your technical level. Want to try it? Pick any app or template from our showcase and click “Edit with Shakespeare”! Showcase:

Need help? We know debugging is always the worst part of building. We’ve built multiple new tools into Shakespeare to make it easier, including an in-web console to show errors, and a friendly assistant called Quilly who may make an appearance to alert you to key errors. Keep an eye out for him! We’ve also built out a detailed Shakespeare resource center with an FAQ and guides on how to get the most out of Shakespeare. Resource center:
