Show HN: NReads Alternative

For anyone wondering what is happening on this website and why it's just another blog: It's not. nReads connects to relays (specified initially by me, but configurable by users). From there, it fetches long form events via json and renders them in the UI. This makes the content impossible to censor, and is the only time you truly own your presence and identity.

The profile comes from a cryptographic key pair (per nostr protocol).

All of this content can be fetched via any other platform-agnostic client that wishes to surface long form events.

Happy to answer any questions.

FYI: 95 JS errors and 9,000 log messages and counting, in the web dev console

it's loading cross-domain images and sometimes that doesn't work due to cors issues or something else. None of the articles are hosted on nreads - they are coming from nostr relays.
