🌽 Corny Chat is an open source audio space built on Jam that integrates Nostr and Lightning

It is available at https://cornychat.com

Recent improvements this month include text chat which is a nice addition to the audio chat that forms the basis of this program.

With text chat, you and others in a chat room can easily paste links to share peer to peer.  In addition, basic formatting is supported to bold or italicize text and initial shortcode support has been integrated for emojis.

@vicariousdrama's bio

I've finally decided to join Nostr and Stacker News and test things out.  This is my first post.  I've no idea what constraints there are in terms of message length, or types of content, so hope this works out properly.  These are documents I've recently written and added to my new howto repository in github.  I'll add more there over time.
