A living shelf for public Nostr accounts worth knowing: creators, builders, writers, hosts, founders and early users who deserve a clearer public trail.
The People route needs the user layer, not only founders and app builders. This shelf keeps promising public accounts visible while their profile, projects, writing, shows or talks become easier to follow.
The quick readA living shelf for public Nostr accounts worth knowing: creators, builders, writers, hosts, founders and early users who deserve a clearer public trail.
What this section is
These are public Nostr accounts worth keeping close while you learn the scene. Follower counts can help with discovery, but they are not the point. The point is whether a person helps you understand the network, build better, publish better, protect your keys or follow the culture.
Open a card, check the public profile, then follow the trail into Creator voices, builder profiles, videos, articles or project pages. The stronger the public sources becomes, the easier it is to turn a name into a real People profile.
What the community should help with
You can help this shelf get sharper. Nominate accounts, add npubs, add NIP-05 identifiers, link public projects, cite interviews, surface notable posts, flag impersonation risk and request deeper articles.
The rule is simple: public contribution context is welcome; private biography is not.
Nominate. Suggest a public account with npub, NIP-05 or profile URL.
Verify. Check whether the profile, public links and project claims match.
Enrich. Add public talks, repos, writing, podcasts, videos or project pages.
Protect. Flag impersonation, stale identifiers or private-data risk.
Public accounts to turn into better stories
This is the current People | Users shelf. The useful list is not the longest one; it is the one that helps you find who to read, watch, hear or verify next. Open Creator voices when you want the finished map for hosts, writers, educators and media people.

Article rules
People articles must stay about public work, public Nostr activity and publicly linked projects. Do not infer private biography, do not expose personal data and do not treat follower count as character evidence.
Public sources. Use profile metadata, project pages, public posts, talks, repos, interviews and official websites.
Verification. Keep npub/NIP-05 checks separate from display names.
No doxxing. Use pseudonyms when the public account uses a pseudonym.
Crays fit. Explain why the account matters to the Nostr knowledge hub.
Nostr identity
Login with Nostr
Use a browser signer, Nostr Connect, read-only npub or local account flow. Private keys stay out of the Crays server path.
Not connectedSigning actions will ask for a Nostr signer.
People nomination
Nominate a public Nostr user
