The hero is now layered like Treasures' HeroGallery: - CampaignHeroBackground (new) — full-bleed banner image from the currently-spotlit campaign, crossfading over ~1.5 s and panning left. Warm tint + film grain overlay so foreground text stays legible. - HeroGlobe — pushed to the right edge with a larger radius, slightly translucent so the photo bleeds through. Hearts replace the old dots for marker symbols; clicking one selects that campaign. - HeroCampaignSpotlight (new) — minimal text overlay anchored to the bottom-left of the hero container (title, summary, avatar + author, location, progress bar with goal, 'View' link). No card chrome. Land polygons are now the full Natural Earth 110m fidelity (~10.5k vertices) instead of being heavily Douglas-Peucker'd, so coastlines look organic rather than chunky. Back-hemisphere rings are now properly hidden by walking each edge and either dropping back-side vertices outright or interpolating to the sphere limb where a ring crosses it — fixes the 'phantom continents through the front' bug. Rings additionally fade in/out over a narrow z-band near the limb instead of popping at z = 0. Markers also have proper z-fade and pull off-canvas when on the back so they can't intercept clicks they aren't visible for. Selected markers scale 1.35x with a stronger glow so the user can tell which campaign the spotlight refers to. Other cleanup: - formatCampaignAmount + formatSatsShort move out of CampaignCard.tsx into src/lib/formatCampaignAmount.ts so CampaignCard stops failing the react-refresh/only-export-components lint. - Hero CTAs drop the 'Unstoppable fundraising on Nostr' pill and the em dash from the supporting copy. - New keyframes (heroPanLeft / heroPanRight) for the slow Ken-Burns pan on the background photos, with prefers-reduced-motion respected.
Agora
Power to the people.
Agora is a Nostr client focused on community ownership, expressive identity, and censorship resistance. This repository (agora-3) is the Agora-branded app built from the Ditto codebase.
What This Repo Is
- Agora product identity (name, theme, assets, native IDs)
- Ditto-derived implementation with broad Nostr feature coverage
- Configurable deployment defaults via
agora.json
Features
- Community-first social client: notes, articles, comments, reposts, reactions, and rich event rendering
- Theming system: built-in presets + custom color/font/background themes that can be shared as events
- Lightning support: zaps with Nostr Wallet Connect and WebLN
- Private messaging: NIP-04 and NIP-17 direct messages
- Mobile app shell: Capacitor-powered Android/iOS wrappers
- Self-hostable: static web build + configurable relay and upload infrastructure
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+
- npm 10.9.4+
Development
git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/agora-3.git
cd agora-3
npm install
npm run dev
Development server: http://localhost:8080
Docker Getting Started
Use Docker Compose when you want the nginx reverse-proxy stack (necessary if you want decryptable media in messages - kind 15s of NIP 17):
git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/agora-3.git
cd agora-3
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build
Proxy URL: http://localhost:8083
This starts:
viteservice on the internal Docker network (vite:8080)webservice (nginx) on host port8082, proxying to Vite with websocket support
Stop stack:
docker compose down
Production-style container build:
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build
Build
npm run build
Build output: dist/
Validate
npm test
This runs type-checking, linting, unit tests, and production build checks.
Configuration
Build-time config is read from agora.json (gitignored by default so each deployment can provide its own values).
{
"theme": "dark",
"relayMetadata": {
"relays": [
{ "url": "wss://relay.ditto.pub", "read": true, "write": true },
{ "url": "wss://relay.primal.net", "read": true, "write": true },
{ "url": "wss://relay.damus.io", "read": true, "write": true }
]
},
"blossomServers": [
"https://blossom.ditto.pub",
"https://blossom.primal.net/"
]
}
Configuration priority (highest first):
- User settings (local storage)
- Build config (
agora.json) - Hardcoded app defaults
Use a custom config path:
CONFIG_FILE=./my-config.json npm run build
Deployment
Agora builds to static files and can be deployed to any static host.
- GitLab/GitHub Pages
- Netlify/Vercel
- VPS or any web server with SPA routing fallback
For Android:
npm run build
npx cap sync
npx cap open android
