Welshman

Appearance

Getting Started ​

Welshman is modular - install only what you need:

bash
# Core nostr utilities (events, filters, tags)
npm i @welshman/util

# Networking and relay management
npm i @welshman/net

# Content parsing and rendering
npm i @welshman/content

# Event signing and encryption
npm i @welshman/signer

# Dynamic feed compilation
npm i @welshman/feeds

For Svelte applications, additional packages provide reactive state management:

bash
# Svelte stores and state management
npm i @welshman/store

# Full application framework (requires Svelte)
npm i @welshman/app

# Rich text editor component (requires Svelte)
npm i @welshman/editor

Choose packages based on your needs:

  • Building a framework-agnostic client? Start with:

    bash
    npm i @welshman/util @welshman/net @welshman/signer @welshman/feeds

  • Building a Svelte client? Add state management:

    bash
    npm i @welshman/store @welshman/app

  • Need content features? Include:

    bash
    npm i @welshman/content

  • Want the full Svelte stack used by Coracle.social and Flotilla?

    bash
    npm i @welshman/util @welshman/net @welshman/signer @welshman/feeds @welshman/store @welshman/app @welshman/content @welshman/editor

Each package is independent but integrates seamlessly. The core packages (util, net, signer, feeds, content) work with any framework, while store, app and editor are built for Svelte applications.
