Short-form looping video on the decentralized web

diVine is an open-source platform for sharing 6-second looping videos, built on Nostr - a decentralized social protocol. Think Vine, but nobody owns it and nobody can shut it down.

diVine brings back the magic of short-form looping video in a way that's:

• Decentralized - No single company controls your content or social graph
• Open Source - All our code is public and contributions are welcome
• Interoperable - Your videos and followers work across any Nostr client
• Censorship Resistant - Content lives on multiple relays, not one server

Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a simple, open protocol for decentralized social networking. Here's how diVine uses it:

• Identity: Users have a cryptographic keypair. Your public key is your identity, and you sign all your content with your private key. No email, no phone number, no company owns your account.

• Content: Videos are published as Nostr events (kind 34236) containing metadata and links to the actual video files. These events are signed and can be verified by anyone.

• Social Graph: Follows, likes, reposts, and comments are all Nostr events. Your social connections aren't locked into diVine - they work across the entire Nostr ecosystem.

• Relays: Content is stored on relays - servers that accept and serve Nostr events. You can use any relay, run your own, or use multiple for redundancy.

Blossom is a protocol for decentralized media storage that complements Nostr. Since Nostr events are lightweight (just JSON), large files like videos are stored separately:

• Videos are uploaded to Blossom servers and addressed by their SHA-256 hash
• The hash is included in the Nostr event, linking the metadata to the media
• Multiple Blossom servers can host the same file, providing redundancy
• Anyone can verify file integrity by checking the hash

This separation keeps Nostr relays fast while enabling rich media content.

diVine is part of the broader movement to build a more open, decentralized internet. We believe social media should be a protocol, not a platform.
