Its README presents it as a general-purpose command-line tool for Nostr work, installable via a shell installer, Go, binaries, Homebrew, Arch, and Nix. The release stream shows active maintenance through the 0.19 and 0.20 series, including v0.20.0 on 2026-06-21. That cadence fits a protocol utility that follows NIP additions and real relay/client usage rather than a one-off demo. ### Adoptionsgeschichte nak's audience is narrower than mainstream networking tools, but it sits in an important niche for Nostr developers and power users. The repository metadata consulted on 2026-07-01 showed 389 GitHub stars and 46 forks, and the Homebrew page listed 673 installs over the prior 365 days. Its adoption is tied to Nostr's preference for simple event and relay primitives: a CLI that can emit JSON, sign events, query relays, manage keys, and script relay operations is useful for debugging clients, writing shell workflows, and testing protocol behavior. ### Wie es verwendet wird The README examples show the core workflow: `nak event` creates a signed event; options can set secret keys, content, tags, timestamps, and relay targets; `nak req` queries relays and emits JSON that users commonly pipe to tools like `jq`. Package nerds reach for nak when they want a reproducible Nostr command in a script: publish a test note, inspect relay responses, validate an event, talk to relay management APIs, experiment with bunker/nsec flows, or use Nostr as a transport for other artifacts. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren nak is significant less as a mass-market CLI and more as a protocol workbench. It gives Nostr's event model a Unix-shaped interface, which is exactly what packagers and shell people want when a network protocol is still evolving. ### Zeitleiste - 2022-02-09: GitHub repository created. - 2026-06-21: v0.20.0 release published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew Formulae page listed version 0.20.0 and 673 installs over the prior 365 days. ### Related projects - Nostr - nostr-tools - noscl ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für nak wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
