We run a platform that handles story publishing, media delivery and newsroom workflows for hundreds of organizations, with millions of readers hitting it every month. PHP on backend (API's/app), TS/React on frontend.
Why join Prezly?
• Work on systems that deal with high traffic, large media libraries and evolving data models
• Improve and modernize a long-lived PHP codebase without breaking production
• Own features end-to-end: database → API → UI → production
• Direct line to product and customers, no layers of PMs or process
• Profitable, remote-first company with high autonomy
Stack: PHP (Symfony), PostgreSQL, React/TypeScript, Kubernetes on AWS.
We actively use AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor.
Disagree though, people manage keys just fine, or they can be thought.
But even if there are people in the world that never get it, it could be outsourced to a central identity provider that manages your key and messages. For the end user they would have a user/password combo they can reset.
If the network becomes more popular someone will definitely build something like that.
The technical capabilities (remote signers, bunkers, ...) already exist
Everyone can announce to the network where they read/write from. Clients can figure out (based on the people you follow) from which relays to get the content.
I've been using it like this for nearly a year. It works
Your followers fetch the note from your relays. You tell the network where they can find your notes (self hosted relay) and their client will take the effort to find your content
I'm building a Nostr app (+- 2mio notes). There is a lot of spam and much worse content.
But it's kinda a solved problem (not through PoW) but through Web of Trust and not having algorithms. You see what the people/communities you follow post.
> I tried Nostr but like a lot of people here have been saying, it falls short in many ways due to the way it is structured. Relays are not really relays, they are more but also less. They are like community servers. Sure you can connect to many, have the same UI, but they are still disjoint and feels lonely.
I'd like to know more. Imho the fact that relays are dumb is a feature.
> You keep saying you can sign your messages and there is value there to people who are saying it is censorable in the ways they described.
All messages are signed. There is no way NOT to sign a message. This comes with the advantage that you don't need to trust the relays/pipes where messages go through which is an immense benefit
> This is not a personal thing, I want to like Nostr and I tried using it. I can and would probably get some use out of using it as a pubsub or message delivery infrastructure for two things I want to connect but what if the relay goes down? It is like a centralized pubsub messagebox thing. But can't even do that fully.
Relays go down all the time. There was an experiment where a major relay (Damus) just deleted the entire dataset. People barely noticed. And as any client (not just the author) and other relays can re-broadcast events the relay eventually recovers.
> There needs to be some sort of relay to relay communication (actual relaying) that needs to go on. And that wouldn't scale, even if it would work for now.
There are three mechanisms that do that:
- clients posts to multiple relays
- clients/followers can rebroadcast notes (to other relays)
- quite a few relays are syncing (negentropy sync)
It can be done by the author (self-label), by an app, or by third parties (moderators/curators), depending on the trust model.
Other clients can decide to use that classification/label

For moderation purposes. If the behavior is closer to abuse (spam, scams, harassment...), use NIP-56 (Reporting). Reporting harmful/should-be-moderated content.
I'm working on an alternative for Quora/StackOverflow. It's everything i like about those two platforms but without the lock-in/giving them all intellectual property rights.
Main idea:
- Portable identity
- Your data/posts/reputation is yours
- Client choice: Use any nostr client to reply from/to
- Open ranking/Anti-Spam: Web-Of-Trust/Global pagerank
- Zaps/Payments weigh more than likes (likes are cheap)
Identity on nostr is just a public/private keypair.
You can enhance that identity by sending a kind0 (metadata) note with your name, bio, pictures. So i guess you're suggestion to add PoW for kind0 events which is covered by NIP13 too.
There are a lot of pretty good nostr clients: Primal, Amethyst, X21.social, Yakihonne, Nostrudel, Jumble. And most of them are OSS
