forums, just like newsgroups, are a fun and vibrant past of our internet communication history. im not ready to let them die just yet. i think adding decentralization and giving users the tools to manage their own communities are paramount to bringing forums back int today's world. let's do it!

I thought it was masterfully vibe coded. As for centralization, you know you can change the relays that your community uses. You can even run your own.

I've been building Onyx, a local-first AI productivity suite for note-taking and knowledge management.
Architecture:
Local-first: your notes are markdown files on your machine, not in someone else's database
End-to-end encrypted sync via Nostr protocol
AI writing assistance with configurable providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models—bring your own keys)
No accounts, no vendor lock-in, works fully offline
Productivity features: Daily notes, templates, YAML frontmatter editor
AI skills you can customize for your workflow
Built-in OpenCode integration for agentic AI assistance
Keyboard-driven (Ctrl+D for daily notes, Ctrl+T for templates, etc.)
Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows
The idea is an AI-augmented second brain that doesn't require trusting a company with your data. Nostr handles sync without central servers, encryption means even relays can't read your content. OpenCode integration brings agentic coding and writing capabilities directly into your notes.

Curious what others think about the local-first + AI combination. Most AI note apps are cloud-first by design—is local-first AI productivity something people actually want? I know I did! I've been using it every day for the last month.

Every AI coding tool wants your data. We wanted the opposite.
Shakespeare is an AI app builder where: - Code lives in your browser (IndexedDB) - AI requests go directly to providers (no proxy) - Git operations are client-side (isomorphic-git) - Payments are anonymous if you choose (Lightning/Nostr)
There's literally no database. We couldn't see your code if we wanted to.
The tradeoff is you need to configure your own API keys or buy credits. But you get full ownership and privacy in return.
AGPL licensed, self-hostable.

Flotilla, while early, shows the power that community creators can hold by owning their own data. They can't be rugged, censored, or deplatformed if they run their own relay based community. It's great!

Flotilla.social and Chachi.chat are both amazing, yet early, Nostr alternatives.

I don't see much spam. It's far, far less than Twitter. I can mute people I don't want to see. And I can be anonymous if I want. What exactly did you mean?

If you're on Android, use Amethyst.
If you're on iOS, use Damus.
If you're on the web, https://snort.social and https://iris.to
