Getting Started

(option 1) Download jar file

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpybfjjnfr548ti/more-speech-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar?dl=0 Type java -jar more-speech-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

(optional) Cloning this repository.

  • You will need Clojure and Leiningen.
  • Edit the project.clj file. Find the :java-cmd line and change the path to your Java 17 implementation. You may be able to delete this line if you have java17 normally installed.
  • To run the tests: lein spec
  • To run the tests with an auto-runner: lein spec -a

Setup

The first step is to download the application. You can do that by cloning this repository.

The next step is to run the application. If you cloned the repository, and you can do that with lein run.

The first time you run the application it will do most of the setup for you. The main window will pop up, and if you click the all tab you'll see some messages. more-speech has generated a private and public key for you, and given you a temporary user name. I recommend you quit now and edit private/keys file to put a better name into your profile. If you like you can add the about and picture too. And if you already have public and private keys from some other source, you can replace the automatically generated ones.

There should now be several files in the private directory. You may wish to edit some of them.

  • private/keys Your personal profile.
  • private/user-configuration Configuration variables allowing you to control more-speech behavior.
  • private/relays The nostr relays you read from and write to.
  • private/tabs-list The tabs you want, and the filters they employ.
  • private/migration Contains the migration level (version number) of the data files. Don't touch!

The next thing you'll want to do is find a good paid relay like eden.nostr.land, pay the fee (small) and add it to your relays file with :read-all. You'll get a lot of events, but not a lot of spam. After that you can start interacting with folks pretty easily. You'll eventually want to add more relays and more trusted contacts and more tabs.
