Working on a new Nostr relay implementation in C
Hello everyone
I’ve been working on a new Nostr relay called Nostrum — focused on being simple, lightweight and fast.
Some features/goals:
Simple and clean architecture
Good performance and low memory usage
Easy self-hosting
Open source (BSD 3-Clause)
Project link: https://github.com/henriquetft/nostrum
I’m actively developing it and would really appreciate feedback, bug reports, ideas, or contributors interested in relay development.
If you test it, let me know what you think!

Posted here two weeks ago about Obelisk when I shipped it at La Crypta's IDENTITY Hackathon (ended up taking 2nd place). 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.

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to Nostr but am familiar with the basics.
Any recommendations for an nsec signer? I was hoping for something I could run on Linux as a daemon and then access via a web interface. I ran across one called nsecbunker that does exactly that, but it's no longer maintained as far as I can tell.
I also ran across this handy list of signing tools on the Nostr Apps site and although I don't really see anything in the Linux+Web UI category, there're a couple of promising ones -- one's called Amber (Android) and one's called Keys Band (Chrome Extension).
Any thoughts on either of these products? They both appear to be actively maintained.
(I know most people use Alby to facilitate Nostr-related signing transactions but I'd prefer to avoid Alby if I can.)
Thanks!
