User-visible copy now matches the Organization rebrand. Internal
symbols, file names, query keys, routes, and storage keys are
intentionally left alone for this pass — they're still pinned to
"community" / "communities" until a dedicated rename commit.
Touched strings:
- `MobileBottomNav` and `sidebarItems` labels: "Communities" →
"Organize", matching the existing TopNav copy.
- `CommunityDetailPage` hero fallback ("Unnamed Community" →
"Unnamed Organization") and "About this organization" aria-label.
- `CommunityContent` thumbnail fallback name.
- `ExternalContentHeader.CommunityPreview` row label and fallback name.
- `NoteCard` kind-34550 noun "community" → "organization" (used in
feed-card action lines like "created an organization") and the
article switches from "a" to "an".
- `NoteMoreMenu` overflow-menu labels: "Report post to community" →
"Report post to organization", "Remove from community" → "Remove
from organization".
- `BanConfirmDialog` title, description, and success/failure toasts.
- `CommunityContentWarning` reporter pluralization and the
fallback report-type label ("community guidelines" →
"organization guidelines"); reporters are now scoped to founder /
moderators per the commit 4 cleanup, so the wording reflects that.
- `CommunityReportDialog` description copy.
- `CreateGoalDialog` placeholder example.
- `CreateActionDialog` org-scoped description string.
- `CreateCommunityEventDialog` NIP-31 `alt` tag prefix.
- `CommentContext` kind-34550 entries in the action-noun and
rendered-noun maps ("a community" / "community" → "an
organization" / "organization").
- `extraKinds` kind-34550 entry: label, description, and blurb.
- `kindLabels` kinds 4550, 10004, 34550.
- `DiscoverHero` ticker stat copy.
- `GetFeedTool` error message drops "communities" since the
Following feed no longer includes organization activity (removed
in the badge-runtime commit).
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
