Combine this with Tor and your Nostr usage is even more private.

Content Filtering

When running a relay for other people, especially in the workplace, you want to be sure that harmful surprises are kept to a minimum.

Introducing the Mostly Safe For Work filter

Mostly Safe for Work (MSFW) is a filter that connects to the Plus and Pro versions of the Mostly relay. It catches spam, text, and content that is not allowable in your workplace or community. MSFW is configurable so you can tune it for your needs.

Open Source

Mostly is open source. 👐 The relay is developed and published on GitHub for the community to view and contribute. Various other libraries and apps are also available as open source. We provide an app that is easy to install and run, while allowing anyone to download the code and run their own version.

NostrKit

The Mostly contributors plan to build and maintain NostrKit, an open source Nostr framework for Swift. Goal is to be like NDK, but for building Swift and SwiftUI apps.

Beyond the Mac

Mostly will be more than just a Mac app. It will provide software services, hosting services, and support for businesses both at the small and enterprise levels.

  • Algo as a Service. The MSFW filter will be available to other clients and relay operators who want to offer it to their users. Because MSFW is open source, the community can keep tabs on what it’s doing.
  • Hosted relay. For the business or user who doesn’t want to deal with uptime and availability, let Mostly do the work. We will host your relay following latest standards and assure your users have access from wherever they are.
  • Support. Mostly will have support packages available to fit your business needs so you can have the peace of mind that your Mostly relay is fine tuned to power many of your vital operations.
  • Multi-tenant Cloud. This is an option we will explore. It would be a fully multi-tenant SaaS version of the Mostly relay and MSFW filter.
  • Lightning ⚡️. Mostly will explore offering lightning wallet services to its Mostly users and to the broader market. This brings added security to the Lightning Network by having more options of providers.

The Mostly Objective

Primary
Here at Mostly, we believe in the rights of people to speak freely. Nostr makes it possible to own your data. However, if you don’t control the relays where your data live, your data might not always be available. Mostly provides a way to assure that your voice always has a place to live.

Secondary
Mostly is bringing Nostr to the workplace. With an easy-to-use interface and powerful business tools, including the MSFW filter, Mostly makes it possible to integrate Nostr into your business.

Nostr is for all. 💜
