Welcome to 0x0x - A Site for Righteous Interfaces
This site is dedicated to protocols and services designed to appeal to hackers ("hackers" in the original sense -- people who love coding and making things happen with computers).
We publish information about simple and interesting technologies and efforts that merit attention from the community of geeks who live and play on the internet, and also run some services to let us play with these ideas.
Forgive our sparse appearence, we're really just starting out.

2025-09-21 - NOSTR
I've lately been messing around with NOSTR. What I like most about it is that it's pretty close to what I would have implemented - users are defined by cryptographically secured profiles (your identity is your public key) and all of the information is hosted on relays.
It's basically uncensorable. As long as there are relays that are willing to host your information no one can prevent you from publishing it.
Another interesting property is its inherent association with Bitcoin. Most of the crypto and address standards come straight from the BIPs, and so many people who post on the network are BTC-maximalist crypto-anarchists. I feel right at home.

I recently met user Turboblack from rawtext.club and he shared his PHP Tiny Blog Engine link with me (download as a zip file from the link in red).
2023-01-22 - Generated Blogs and RSS
I've just finished a first round of improvements of the news feed on this
server (that's the thing containing the text you're reading right now :-)). Now
new posts are generated from simple text files. Full versions of a post can be
independently linked and there's a dedicated news page and
an RSS feed.

2022-12-29 - rawtext.club and twtxt
I recently learned of the existence of rawtext.club -- a site that aims to be a social network built around the shell and very simple text protocols. Very cool stuff!
In reading the reddit thread on it, I also discovered twtxt, a simple microblogging
protocol also based on text files.
