HIT_ENTER 1.0

The next Discord, without the server. A home for public communities — gaming communities, open-source projects, creators and their fans — that runs on decentralized software, so no company can ban it, sell it or switch it off. Channels, roles, moderation, voice, files — and zaps: tip a message or a file in sats, straight from one person's wallet to another's (HIT_ENTER adds a 1% fee, shown before you send).

Open source, MIT licence. Download the app at hitenter.app.

• Nostr is who you are: a keypair nobody issued and nobody can ban. Your existing Nostr identity works here.
• iroh is how machines talk: peer-to-peer QUIC through home routers, no port forwarding, no public IP.
• Every running app is a relay for the groups its user is in. A group is alive while any member is online, not just its owner. An always-on anchor — the same program, headless — keeps it alive when nobody is.

Beta: v0.1.0-beta.4 — Linux, macOS (Apple silicon) and Windows. Start here:

docs/DESIGN.md	why "every person is a relay" works, and the four things it does not give you for free
docs/PROTOCOL.md	every event kind the app emits — what leaves your machine
docs/PLAN.md	the milestones
docs/SELF_HOSTING.md	running your own anchor
docs/TESTING.md	building, testing and trying it by hand

cargo run --release -p hit-desktop    # the app
cargo test --workspace                # the tests

The third HIT_ENTER. The first proved iroh between two cities; HIT_ENTER_2 built global accounts, roles, attachments and paid hosting. This one replaces the accounts with Nostr and the host with everybody.
