Create custom versions of Hallway and deploy them as free static sites on Netlify.
Helper for creating custom versions of Hallway (see the demo instance) and deploying them as fully static free sites on Netlify.
Hallway is a Nostr client template that can be customized for specific communities and use cases. Customizations are focused on the relays the community reads from or talk to in general, but also include appearance, branding, translations (or you can just change what one or more labels on the site say), default Nostr settings for new users and many other small things.
What makes Hallway ideal for a community-focused client is that it focuses on relay-based Nostr interactions: browsing a relay feed, publishing protected notes to specific relays, reading threads from specific relays, browsing specific people on a given relay or browsing notes from users in specific relays. This way the client can nudge inexperienced users into only seeing and interacting with people from inside one or more predetermined relays. At the same time, as users become more familiar with Nostr they can keep using the same client to go visit external parts of the network.
It deploys custom Hallway instances to Netlify, a free service (with easy account creation) that hosts static sites at no cost. Since Hallway is a static site: once it is generated, it lives in your Netlify account and can be accessed by anyone. It does not talk to any server, and the Hallway Deployer cannot change it from the outside. Once it is in your Netlify account, you can also give it a custom domain from your Netlify dashboard.
