I'm Sam P — a developer who's been at this since computers showed up in my life in '93. Three decades in, I build fewer things and finish more of them: open, sovereign tools at the intersection of Bitcoin, Nostr, and free software. I care about craft, privacy, and work that outlives the hype cycle.

| # | Project | Live Demo | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ns | nostr.ltd | Nostr relay (Go). A self-hosted Nostr relay built on a Shugur fork plus a Blossom server — the infrastructure powering nostr.ltd and the backbone for the Nostr work above. |
| 2 | 🔒 Epoch Shield | epochshield.com | One key, infinite identities. A zero-knowledge, client-side encrypted identity system built on the NIP-EES spec — each passphrase derives a separate, compartmentalized identity (messages, groups, vault, mail) over Nostr. Crypto is scrypt + NIP-44, fully open source (AGPL). Coercion-resistant: a wrong passphrase opens a convincing decoy identity. Free forever for individuals. |
| 3 | nip-ees-core | — | NIP-EEs core library & spec. The reference implementation and specification behind Epoch Shield — encrypted, epoch-scoped event sharing for Nostr (private groups and messages that stay confidential and expire cleanly). |
| 4 | 🔒 haiku | haiku-hour.vercel.app | A new haiku every hour. A generative poetry engine publishing 283 haikus across 50+ categories — small, daily acts of making that keep the joy in building. |
| 5 | NostrForNomads | nostr.co.in | Nostr for Nomads. A Nostr-native hub for travelers and communities — decentralized social for people on the move, live at nostr.co.in. |
| 6 | cb | culturebridge.vercel.app | Culture Bridge. Preserving heritage & tradition by tying culture to Bitcoin + Lightning + Nostr — a living archive that rewards and sustains cultural work. |
| 7 | biffes26 | biffes26.vercel.app | ⭐ Most-starred original project. A Progressive Web App for the 17th Bengaluru International Film Festival (Jan 30 – Feb 6, 2026) — film discovery across 13 categories, an 8-day multi-venue schedule, watchlists with shareable 6-char codes, and a multi-source ratings aggregator (IMDb/RT/Metacritic/Letterboxd). Built with Next.js 16 + React 19 + Upstash Redis; local-first with cloud sync. |
| 8 | ipl26 | ipl26.vercel.app | IPL 2026 — "The Grid". The definitive view of all ten franchises: auction purse spent, top buys, squad composition (domestic/overseas), and title/top-4 probabilities — interactive and live at ipl26.vercel.app. |
| 9 | nrpc_workshop | — | Nostr RPC workshop. Hands-on material for building on Nostr's RPC surface — notes and code from a working session. |
| 10 | strc-price-panel | — | STRC price panel for the desktop. A lightweight panel that surfaces live STRC market prices right on your desktop. |
