Replace the single `esploraBaseUrl: string` with `esploraApis: string[]` and route every Esplora REST call through a new `esploraFetch` helper that handles ordered failover across multiple API endpoints. The failover client: - Tries URLs in order with a per-attempt 15s timeout. mempool.space has a shadowban-style rate-limit behaviour where requests are silently absorbed and never reply; the timeout converts that hang into a regular failover signal so the next URL is tried. - On `429` / `5xx` / network error / timeout, parks the URL in a module-level cool-down with exponential backoff (30s, 60s, 120s, 240s, 300s cap) and advances to the next. - Resets a URL's failure count on the first 2xx response, so the primary comes back into rotation as soon as it recovers. - Treats configurable `skipStatuses` (e.g. `404` on `/v1/prices`) as endpoint-capability mismatches: skip without penalising the endpoint. This lets non-mempool backends like Blockstream coexist in the list even though they don't expose the price extension. - Composes a caller-supplied AbortSignal with the per-attempt timeout via AbortSignal.any. Caller aborts (e.g. TanStack Query queryFn unmounts) propagate immediately; timeouts mark the endpoint failed and try the next URL. - Falls back to cooled-down endpoints when *every* URL is in cool-down, rather than failing outright. Default list is mempool.space \u2192 mempool.emzy.de \u2192 blockstream.info. Every helper in `src/lib/bitcoin.ts`, `src/lib/hdwallet/scan.ts`, and `verifyOnchainZap` now takes `(input, esploraApis: string[], signal?: AbortSignal)`. Every TanStack Query caller threads its `queryFn` signal through. Mutations (broadcasts, send/donate/onchain-zap flows) still call without an explicit signal but get the 15s per-attempt timeout.
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
