My first post I orange-pilled my mom. Now her paintings are Lightning-only and we're on Nostr did way way better than I expected! Lots of kind words about my mom’s paintings, plenty of thoughtful feedback about the site. Thank you for the warm welcome. My mom read a bunch of the comments with a smile!

Quick update. Many have asked to open source the site code. I cleaned up the code, and open sourced it. I called it BoltCanvas. It is a small opinionated template for bitcoiners who want to sell for sats only without getting lost in a giant ecommerce thing.

It has a clean gallery for visitors, a simple admin dashboard with a lot of features yet easy access!

Live example if you want to see my mom site: https://mavilab.art

The repo of the code is here: https://github.com/MaviLabArt/BoltCanvas

Two quick screenshots so you can see what it feels like

We use Blink right now because it let us simplify to the core. but it is already possible to plug in your own LND node instead.

The admin lives at slash admin with a simple pin. From there you can edit any bits of the store and manage orders easily.

If you want users to get automatic notifications about the shipment you can SMPT and NOSTR DM, and the shop owner can optionally be notified via NTFY when a purchase happen!

One feature I am very proud about is that we allow to post a NOSTR event about any item in the site with one click:

Anyway, my mom is still posting little updates on Nostr, learning as she goes. If you want to say hi, she will likely answer you herself, which makes her very happy.

Thanks again . Building small sovereign stuff with family continues to be wonderful. I hope BoltCanvas helps a few more people!!
