## Tech stack
|
|
|
|
Squalk is built on Nostr and implement [NIP-29](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/29.md) and [NIP-7D](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/7D.md).
|
|
It needs a personal relay that supports NIP-29 to host the group(s) and a Blossom server for the uploads; [Pyramid](https://github.com/fiatjaf/pyramid) includes both and is the suggested solution.
