![Nostr](https://img.shields.io/badge/protocol-Nostr-purple.svg)
## ✨ Features
- 🔐 **End-to-End Encrypted** - Messages encrypted using NIP-04
- 🌐 **Decentralized** - Connects to multiple Nostr relays
- 🚫 **No Backend Required** - Entirely client-side
- 📱 **Mobile Responsive** - Works seamlessly on all devices
-**Lightweight** - Minimal dependencies
- 🔑 **Ephemeral Keys** - Auto-generated session keys (24hr expiry)
- 💾 **Session Persistence** - Messages saved locally per session
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Add Required Files
Include the chat widget files in your HTML:
```html
<!-- Add Tailwind CSS for styling -->
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<!-- Add import map for nostr-tools -->
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"nostr-tools": "https://esm.sh/nostr-tools@1.17.0"
}
}
</script>
<!-- Add the chat widget -->
<script type="module" src="path/to/chat.js"></script>
<!-- Add chat widget container -->
<div id="chat-widget-root"></div>
```
### 2. Configure Your Public Key
Edit the `CONFIG` object in `chat.js`:
```javascript
const CONFIG = {
relays: [
'wss://relay.damus.io',
'wss://relay.primal.net',
'wss://nos.lol'
],
csPubkey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE' // Your team's Nostr public key (hex format)
};
```
### 3. Done!
The chat widget will appear as a floating button in the bottom-right corner of your page.
## 📋 Configuration Options
| Option | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `relays` | Array | List of Nostr relay URLs to connect to |
| `csPubkey` | String | Your customer support team's public key (hex format) |
### Getting Your Public Key
1. Create a Nostr identity using any Nostr client
2. Export your public key in hex format (not npub)
3. Add it to the `csPubkey` field
**Tip:** You can convert npub to hex at [nostr.band/tools](https://nostr.band/tools)
## 🎨 Customization
### Styling
The widget uses Tailwind CSS utility classes. To customize colors, search for these classes in `chat.js`:
- Primary color: `from-[#fdad01] to-[#ff8c00]` (orange gradient)
- Change to your brand colors
### Mobile Behavior
On mobile devices, the chat expands to fullscreen automatically. Customize this in the CSS:
```css
@media (max-width: 600px) {
/* Adjust mobile styles here */
}
```
## 🔒 How It Works
1. **Session Creation**: When a user opens the chat, an ephemeral keypair is generated and stored locally
2. **Message Encryption**: All messages are encrypted using NIP-04 (end-to-end encryption)
3. **Relay Publishing**: Encrypted messages are published to multiple Nostr relays
4. **Real-time Updates**: The widget subscribes to replies from your team's public key
5. **Local Storage**: Messages persist locally for 24 hours per session
## 📦 Dependencies
- [nostr-tools](https://github.com/nbd-wtf/nostr-tools) - Nostr protocol implementation
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) - Styling framework
## 🛠️ Development
### Local Testing
1. Clone the repository
2. Open `demo/index.html` in a browser
3. Configure your public key in `chat.js`
### Browser Compatibility
- Chrome/Edge: ✅
- Firefox: ✅
- Safari: ✅
- Mobile browsers: ✅
**Note:** Requires ES6 module support
## 📱 Receiving Messages
To receive and respond to chat messages, you'll need a Nostr client:
### Recommended Clients
- **Desktop**: [Nostr.band](https://nostr.band), [Nostrudel](https://nostrudel.ninja)
- **Mobile**: [Damus (iOS)](https://damus.io), [Amethyst (Android)](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst)
- **Web**: [Snort.social](https://snort.social), [Iris.to](https://iris.to)
### Setup Instructions
1. Import your private key into a Nostr client
2. Watch for DM notifications from new chat sessions
3. Reply directly from the client - messages appear instantly in the widget
## 🔐 Security Considerations
- **Ephemeral Keys**: Each session generates a new keypair (24hr expiry)
- **No User Data**: No tracking, cookies, or personal data collection
- **E2E Encryption**: All messages encrypted before transmission
- **Relay Privacy**: Messages distributed across multiple relays
