• Google sign-in, with FROST threshold key recovery — the key is split into shards across signer relays, so no server ever holds the whole key

• Next.js 15 (pages router) with React 19
• NDK for Nostr, with a Dexie/IndexedDB cache adapter
• Redux Toolkit for state
• i18next + react-i18next, locales fetched at runtime from public/locales/{lng}/common.json
• TipTap 3 for the article editor
• Plain CSS in src/styles/, themed with next-themes
• next-pwa for the service worker
• A custom ISR cache handler (cache-handler.cjs) that hashes over-long cache keys

3. Getting started

Requires pnpm.

pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local   # then fill in the values
pnpm dev

The dev server runs on http://localhost:3400.

pnpm build   # production build
pnpm start   # serve the production build
pnpm lint

Pages live in src/pages, shared components in src/Components, page-level components in src/(PagesComponents), and Nostr/helper logic in src/Helpers.
