About Iris

Iris is a client for Nostr, a decentralised social protocol where posts are published to relays rather than to a single company's servers. In the browser it shows a feed of popular posts, search, and a social graph that groups users by how many follow hops they are from you.

You can choose which relays to connect to, with several common public relays preset and others discovered as you go. It suits people who want to try Nostr from a browser.

Strengths

  • Runs in the browser with nothing to install
  • Relay list you can edit, with discovered relays
  • Social graph view showing follow distance

Limitations

  • Content and reach depend on the relays you connect to
  • Nostr has a smaller audience than mainstream networks
