The blame.today web client — the "raw firehose." A client-side Svelte + Vite app that talks straight to nostr relays: the vote path has no backend, no auth, no rate limit (events go direct to relays). A thin Cloudflare Worker fronts the static site to force https, redirect www -> apex, and serve the MCP pointer at /mcp. This is the open, canonical realization of blame; the iOS app lives in the sibling blame-ios repo.

What can you do with Blame Today?

blame-web

The blame.today web client — the "raw firehose." A client-side Svelte + Vite app that talks straight to nostr relays: the vote path has no backend, no auth, no rate limit (events go direct to relays). A thin Cloudflare Worker fronts the static site to force https, redirect www -> apex, and serve the MCP pointer at /mcp. This is the open, canonical realization of blame; the iOS app lives in the sibling blame-ios repo.

Split out of blame-today/blame-mobile (the old iOS app + worker repo) so each surface is honestly its own thing — they share a brand and the pureblameapp nostr tag, but no code, build, or deploy.

what it is

a blame target is a nostr kind 1 event tagged pureblameapp; a vote is a kind 7 reaction tagged e:<targetId> + pureblameapp. throwaway key per event.
the leaderboard is built from relay COUNTs (all-time + a 24h "hot" window), not by fetching events.
the News tab mines today's headlines client-side (compromise) into clickable suggestions.
content filter (profanity / PII / gibberish) is the only gate — it's an open firehose.

dev

npm install
npm run dev      # vite dev server
npm test         # vitest unit tests
npm run test:e2e # playwright
npm run build    # -> dist/

deploy

Push to main → .github/workflows/deploy-web.yml builds dist/ and runs wrangler deploy, publishing to the Cloudflare Worker (blame-today, Workers + Static Assets) that serves blame.today. The worker (worker/index.js) serves dist/ as static assets, force-upgrades http → https, redirects www → apex, and serves the MCP inline at /mcp (worker/mcp.js). Needs CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN (Workers:Edit) + CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID repo secrets. The /about prose lives in public/about/ and Vite copies it into dist/about/.

Migrated off GitHub Pages 2026-06-16 — the zone is on Cloudflare now and blame.today is a custom domain on the worker. A push touching only scripts/** or infra/** skips the rebuild.

infra (the Cloudflare config around the worker)

The CF "clicky layer" — DNS records, zone settings (HSTS, Always Use HTTPS), the www → apex redirect rule, and email routing (*@blame.today → gmail) — is declarative IaC in infra/ (OpenTofu). wrangler owns the worker code + the apex custom domain; OpenTofu owns everything else, each resource with exactly one owner. See infra/README.md.
