Publish nostr events from vim.

vim-nostr

Experimental tooling for publishing nostr events from vim.

Draft your post in vim and when you're ready to publish, run :NostrPost. This will create and publish a kind 1 note to your relays.

Setup

1. Create the required config file at ~/.config/nostr/config.json:

Note: The config file is the same format used by algia and noscl.

{
  "relays": {
    "wss://relay.damus.io": {
      "read": true,
      "write": true
    }
  },
  "privatekey": "<hex priv key>"
}

2. Install the Go program that bridges vim and nostr:

go install github.com/bndw/vim-nostr@latest

3. Install the vim-nostr vim plugin. We're going to use vim-plug but feel free to use other plugin managers instead.

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
git clone https://github.com/bndw/vim-nostr.git ~/.vim/plugged/vim-nostr

Create a ~/.vimrc with the following:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'bndw/vim-nostr'
call plug#end()
