Three commands: 0 — a server 1 — a Snapchain read node 2 — the client, built from source on your domain No API keys. Mac, Linux, Windows.
Feed, profiles, and a live view of the network. All read straight from your node.
Every cast is checked by your node before it shows: hash, signature, active key. Nobody in between deciding what you see.
Would like to know more! What does "own" mean here in full context you used it in? Full technical details and options available? For instance, fafo with node/proxy/dns with cloudflare, possible? Either way, curious! @townhall
Own" = you run the whole stack yourself: • A Snapchain read node on your server, with a full copy of the network (~914M messages). Reads come from it, no API keys, no Neynar. • The client is served from the same box. You sign casts in your browser with your own app key; your node relays them to the validators. • Your account is your custody key, not an app's. If an app hides you, you still read and post through your node. Options: • Step 0 makes a Hetzner server, or skip it and use any Ubuntu 22/24 box (4 vCPU, 16 GB, 1 TB+ disk). • Default address is <ip>.sslip.io; set DOMAIN=your.domain for your own. • Cloudflare: DNS-only works as is. Orange-cloud should work for the web client, but I haven't tested it. The node's gossip port (UDP 3382) has to stay direct. Limits are written down too: validators and storage rent still apply.

Badass - sign-up process for a test? Interested to try this out and give feedback where appropriate 🤝
It was late here when I read this. Got so excited I clearly forgot to thank you properly for your time and expertise, I am sorry for that and thank you for your time! GM!
