Nvote

Nvote is a decentralized, vote-driven community similar to services like Reddit and HackerNews. Nvote is powered by nostr.

Nvote is a work-in-progress and needs contributors.

Visit our Telegram group at https://t.me/nvote_app.

Using Nvote

Run a client locally (recommended)

docker run --rm -it -p 1323:1323 --name nvote \
  -e NV_ENVIRONMENT='local' \
  rdbell/nvote:latest

Visit http://localhost:1323 in your browser.

Access through a gateway

You can use Nvote through my public gateway at https://nvote.co.

Why should I want to use this instead of a centralized service like Reddit?

• It's lightweight. No ads, no javascript. No images except in posts. (inline images can be disabled in settings)
• Full feature compatibility with privacy browsers like TorBrowser with javascript disabled.
• Community-based spam prevention with no centralized moderators.
• Publicly available activity data to help the community identify vote manipulation and astroturfing.
• Anyone can host a nostr relay and mirror the data.
• Relays and clients can be run locally or be made public for other people to share.
• Ability to disable spam filters or even modify the client with custom filters.
• You don't have to rely on a single relay for content. You can configure the client to use other relays as data providers.
• Backend data is owned by nobody and can be digested by alternative clients without the need for special API permissions.
