A deep dive into the lightweight event listener architecture. How we stay close to the base Nostr protocol while efficiently ingesting millions of events into BigQuery.
Kind 30023 addressable events are changing how we publish on Nostr. What NIP-23 means for authors, readers, and the analytics that power discovery.
Our open-source analytics engineering layer. How we define metrics, transformations, and models in dbt — and why this is the most novel part of bigNOSTRals.
Patterns, anomalies, and surprises from indexing over 12M events across 50+ relays. Zaps, followers, spam, and the nascent culture of the censorship-resistant social layer.
These articles are also published as kind:30023 addressable events on Nostr. Each post is signed and addressable via naddr. This is the dogfood we believe in — content that lives on the protocol, not just on a server.
