nostr
Tools for structuring, processing and encoding things for the nostr protocol.
This covers almost everything found in go-nostr except rewritten in fully idiomatic Go and restructured for better readability and organisation for a more friendly developer experience.
nostr-sdk is also included as it
contains useful tools for client developers and is required for the
algia fork postr found in
replicatr
The eventstore is also found in here, but with only the badger back end and the hand coded, badly written binary encoding format for events is replaced with the use of the Gob codec, which is fine for internal data stores used only by a Go based project.
Perhaps later a full implementation of a gRPC/protobuf form of the entire protocol will follow, as it has performance advantages over JSON and broadly supported even by javascript based applications.
There is not very much documentation apart from a moderate effort to put proper godoc comments on everything, better documentation will come later.
Currently there is a set of packages named after NIPs, these will be refactored to have human readable names in the future, and for the support of any downstream users of this library, the existing references will be maintained via the use of symlinks and aliases where applicable with deprecation notices added when this is done.
This repo is being released independently as a service to fellow nostr developers who also like to use Go, as it is becoming stable and has numerous bugs from go-nostr fixed and has been restructured to be easier to navigate.

object
Package object implements an ordered key/value data structure for use with JSON documents that must be strictly ordered in order to create a consistent blob of data in canonical order for creating verifiable signatures while delivering the data over the wire or storing it with its signature and object hash also present, as is used for nostr events.
