thePR0M3TH3ANandClaude Opus 4.8 98086a0ad4 Add bulletin board page listing recent flyers from the relays
A small screen-only link below the flyer preview (outside the printable
sheet, hidden in print) opens board.html: a spreadsheet-style list of the
most recent VoxVera flyers found on the default relays.

- Columns: title, link (the poster URL shown as "link"), posting npub,
  language, and posted date; every column is sortable (default date
  descending). Replaceable events are de-duplicated per author+d identifier,
  keeping the latest.
- board.js is independent of nostr-client.js (which exports nothing): its UI
  strings live in BOARD_UI for all 14 languages, and it reuses the vendored
  nostr-tools and locales.js (language names + RTL direction).
- The board has its own language selector that reads/writes the same
  voxvera_nostr_lang localStorage key as the main client, so the choice
  carries across pages; switching it re-localizes the chrome, headers,
  language labels, and date formatting and flips RTL.
- Untrusted relay content is escaped, and link URLs are rejected unless
  http(s) so javascript:/data: never render as a link.

Docs updated (README, spec, AGENTS). Playwright: add tests for the
out-of-sheet print-hidden link, the localized sortable columns, and the
board language selector (incl. RTL + persistence). 72 tests pass across
Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and Android/iOS mobile emulations.

VoxVera

VoxVera is a static, Nostr-powered flyer client.

The active app lives at the site root (site/). It lets anyone author flyer content, publish it as a public Nostr event, and re-render or reprint the flyer later from a Nostr address or event ID — no application server. The frontend is intentionally self-contained: Nostr relays store the content, and any static host can serve the client.

The previous Tor/OnionShare CLI version is preserved on the legacy-tor branch.

Features

  • Author and publish. Fill in the flyer fields and publish them as a Nostr 30078 parameterized replaceable event. Republishing with the same flyer name replaces the previous version.
  • Anonymous by default. The client generates an anonymous browser-side key to sign events. A NIP-07 browser extension is detected and used if present, but is never required.
  • Open from a link or ID. Load a flyer from an naddr, nevent1, note1, raw 64-char event ID, or nostr: URL. The lookup field tolerates copy/paste whitespace and newlines, so an event ID copied off a printed tear-off (where it wraps across two lines) still resolves.
  • Short, scannable poster URLs. Each poster URL is a standard NIP-19 naddr carrying a single relay hint, placed in the URL #fragment (no ?addr= query). Shorter URLs make the tear-off QR code easier to scan. Older relay-list naddrs and ?addr= URLs still resolve.
  • Tear-off tabs. The printable flyer has ten tear-off tabs. Each tab is a single hyperlinked call to action (the URL is the link, not printed as text) and prints the full event ID so anyone can re-find the flyer by typing it.
  • Loading state on shared links. Opening a poster/event link shows a localized "Loading content…" placeholder (and a "Could not load this flyer." state on failure) instead of the default flyer; the default sample content appears only on the bare site URL.
  • 14 languages with RTL support. Flyer content and UI are localized; right-to-left scripts render correctly. Letter-spacing is applied per script so cursive (Arabic/Persian) and combining (Devanagari) scripts are not broken — see the spec.
  • US Letter and A4. Print size defaults to the right paper for the visitor's country (from the browser locale's region — en-US → Letter, en-GB → A4, no geolocation), with a manual override. Paper size is a local print preference and is never written into the event. See the spec.
  • Fits-the-page editing. Fields that would overflow the printable sheet are rejected as you type, with an inline error under the affected field. See the field length cheat sheet for how much text fits each field per language and paper size.
  • QR codes. The tear-off QR points at the poster URL (re-open and reprint); the main flyer QR points at the creator's content URL.
  • Bulletin board. A small screen-only link below the flyer preview (outside the printed sheet, never printed) opens a spreadsheet-style page of the most recent flyers found on the relays — title, link, posting npub, language, and date — sortable by any column.
  • Self-contained. No build step and no CDNs — Nostr and QR libraries are vendored under site/vendor/.

What Is In main

  • site/index.html, site/nostr-client.js, site/nostr-client.css, site/locales.js: static editor/viewer client
  • site/board.html, site/board.js: bulletin-board page listing recent flyers from the relays
  • site/vendor/: vendored browser dependencies for Nostr and QR generation
  • site/nostr/index.html: redirect stub so legacy /nostr/ poster URLs and QR codes still resolve
  • site/CNAME: custom-domain target
  • voxvera/nostr/: small Python schema/validation helpers
  • docs/nostr-static-client-spec.md: design notes and development plan
  • docs/flyer-field-limits.md: per-language field length cheat sheet

Local Development

Run the static site from the repo root:

python3 -m http.server 8768 --directory site

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:8768/

No build command is required for the frontend.

Vercel

Point Vercel at this repository on main.

  • Framework preset: Other
  • Root directory: repo root
  • Build command: leave empty
  • Output directory: site

The client is served from the domain root (site/index.html). site/nostr/index.html is a redirect stub that forwards the legacy /nostr/ path to the root while preserving the query/fragment, so older poster URLs and printed QR codes still resolve.

Verification

node --check site/nostr-client.js   # client syntax
pytest -q                           # Nostr source schema

Cross-browser end-to-end tests

Playwright smoke tests run the client on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit (Safari's engine), plus Android/iOS mobile emulations — covering rendering, the @media print path, WebCrypto key generation, the /nostr/ redirect, and the loading state.

npm install
npx playwright install     # download the browser engines
npm run test:e2e

See e2e/README.md for per-engine coverage and the one-time Linux step for WebKit (sudo npx playwright install-deps).

The Python tests only cover the Nostr source schema. The frontend is static; the Playwright suite covers engine behavior, but real Safari/iOS print and clipboard behavior is still worth a manual pass before a release.
