Replace the hardcoded FEATURED_ORGANIZATION_AUTHORS allowlist with the same NIP-32 label flow that curates featured campaigns: Team Soapbox pack members publish kind 1985 labels in the agora.moderation namespace tagging an organization's 34550:<pubkey>:<d> coordinate as featured, hidden, or approved, and useFeaturedOrganizations folds those labels into the /communities Featured shelf. The campaign and organization label streams share a single namespace and a single moderator pack — they're separated purely by which kind prefix the 'a' tag carries. To keep that contract enforced in one place, the constants, types, and folding logic are now in src/lib/agoraModeration.ts; useCampaignModeration and the new useOrganizationModeration both call foldModerationLabels with their respective kind. The campaign hook's external surface (AGORA_MODERATION_NAMESPACE, ModerationLabel, CampaignModerationData) is preserved via re-exports so existing call sites don't move. Moderators see a CommunityModerationMenu kebab overlaid on every CommunityMiniCard exposing approve/unapprove, hide/unhide, and feature/unfeature. Mounting reads moderation state once per page from the shared TanStack cache, mirroring CampaignCard. Non-moderators see no overlay (the menu returns null) and no card affordances change. The 'My organizations' shelf intentionally ignores moderation — a user's own founded, moderated, or followed organizations always render regardless of label state. Only the Featured shelf consumes the curation rollup. The Featured grid is uncapped: moderators control how many orgs surface by labeling, and ordering follows the recency of each 'featured' label so re-publishing bumps an org to the top. NIP.md's 'Campaign Moderation Labels' section is renamed to 'Agora Moderation Labels' and documents the kind-34550 coord form and the 'My organizations ignores moderation' rule. Note: existing surfaced organizations will disappear from the shelf until a moderator publishes featured labels for them.
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
