# Nostr Market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Buy and sell products, services and jobs for Bitcoin. (https://sovrnbitcoiner.com/get-started-with-bitcoin-circular-economies/)
|
|
|
|
Simple webpage that fetches and displays Nostr posts with the hashtag #nostrmarket.
|
|
|
|
Currently uses Nostr.band's RSS (feeds_rss.js) or API (feeds_api.js) to fetch posts.
|
|
|
|
- RSS: https://rss.nostr.band/feeds/ff85/1fd07514e0473b3da6bc4a151827e1d1776a9040e856006594e3fadd2f2dff85.xml
|
|
- API: https://nostr.realsearch.cc/nostr?method=search&q=%23nostrmarket%20-filter%3Aspam&p=0
|
|
|
|
Preview it here: https://nostr.bitejo.com
|
|
|
|
To install, just download the zip and extract it to your web host. Change the hashtag in feeds_api.js if you want to display other data.
|
|
|
|
## Publish a listing
|
|
|
|
Write a post with the hashtag #nostrmarket and one of these tags #selling #buying #service #job using your regular Nostr client and your listing will display on the webpage.
|
|
|
|
## Order a listing
|
|
|
|
Click on the listing to message the seller with your regular Nostr client.
|
|
|
|
Nostr Market does not process payments. Contact the seller to pay them directly with Bitcoin.
|
|
|
|
## Possible improvements
|
|
|
|
- Make a UI that is more similar to Ebay, Etsy, etc.
|
|
- [Done] Add regex to scrape price (listed in BTC or sats)
|
|
- Add a product form for easier formatting and search, e.g.:
|
|
- Type: Selling
|
|
- Title: Thinkpad T480
|
|
- Description: Refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T480 in excellent condition.
|
|
- Photo: https://imgur.com/thinkpad.jpg
|
|
- Price: 0.015 BTC
|
|
- Location: United States (worldwide shipping)
|
|
- Use a CLI client to fetch #nostrmarket posts (to reduce API load)
|
|
- Cache posts (for speed and reduced API load)
|
|
- Convert photos to thumbnails on the backend or via an API (to use less mobile data)
|
|
|
|
## A more complex system...
|
|
|
|
- A more complex system could use different post types:
|
|
- Instead of a profile, you have a store
|
|
- Instead of posts, you have products
|
|
- Instead of comments, you have reviews
|
|
- Instead of private messages, you have orders
|
|
- Payments could be implemented via Zaps
|
|
- Each marketplace has its own channel/tag that users can subscribe to
|
|
- Either public or invite-only (e.g. for local marketplaces)
|
|
- Implementation of a Lightning Escrow
|
|
- Possibly with a marketplace of mediators, like Bitrated.com
|
|
- Autofulfill for digital products
|
|
- Example: Receive a download link for an e-book or a gift card code, as soon as your Zap is detected
|
|
- Client ideas
|
|
- An ecommerce frontend like WooCommerce for online stores
|
|
- A simple classifieds frontend like Craigslist for one-time sales
|
|
- Possibly a Gofundme/Kickstarter frontend where donations are Zaps
|
|
|
|
I probably won't start to work on this anytime soon, so feel free to take this concept and build something with it.
