CommunitiesPage used to open CreateCommunityDialog when the user hit
'Create community' in the hero, the My Communities shelf, or the empty
state. Replace those entry points with navigate('/communities/new'),
mirroring how CreateCampaignPage and CreateActionPage already work.
The new page covers the same three NIP-72 fields the dialog handled
(name + description + cover image) plus a Moderators section that
the dialog never exposed:
- Name, with a live URL preview of the derived slug for transparency.
- Description, in the same Textarea shape as the dialog.
- Cover image, via the shared <CoverImageField> so drag-and-drop +
paste-URL behavior matches the campaign and action create pages.
- Moderators, via the same <PersonSearch> CreateCampaignPage uses for
recipients. The founder is pinned at the top of the list as a
non-removable row labeled 'Founder'; PersonSearch is told to exclude
the founder so they can't be added a second time. Extra moderators
go into the kind 34550 event as additional ['p', pk, '', 'moderator']
tags alongside the founder's.
Submit logic is the kind 30009 badge mint + kind 34550 community
publish from CreateCommunityDialog's create branch, including the
d-tag and badge-d-tag collision checks. Cache keys touched on success
match the dialog: ['addr-event', 34550, pubkey, dTag] is seeded,
['my-communities'] and ['community-activity-feed'] are invalidated.
CreateCommunityDialog itself stays in the tree because
CommunityDetailPage still opens it in edit mode. A unified edit page
that folds in 'View members', 'Add members', and 'Edit badge' is
explicitly out of scope for this change.
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
