Artstr Studio docs

Welcome. Artstr Studio is a single-page design tool that publishes everything to Nostr instead of a private server. Pick a topic below.

The two app modes#

Template — print + screen artwork (cover wraps, disc labels, jewel inserts, custom-art canvases, slides, decks, pixel art, books). Every artboard publishes as one or more Nostr events that anyone can fork or remix.
Designer — a reusable single-disc design surface. Disc designs publish independently, then drop into any disc slot of a disc-label sheet.

Case cover wrap — front + spine + back wraparound for DVD / Blu-ray / softcover printable cases.
Disc-label sheet — two-up CD/DVD label sheet.
Jewel-case insert — front + tray jewel inserts.
Custom art — any-aspect flat canvas.
Slide — 16:9 standalone slide with speaker notes.
Slide deck — ordered collection of slides.
Pixel art — palette-indexed grid editor with multi-frame animation.
Book — multi-page reflowable book with cover, chapters, masters, PDF export, and Reader Mode.

Sign in with a browser extension (Alby, nos2x, etc) using the top- right widget. Without one you can still author and export locally; publishing + browsing the community requires a key.
Every Artstr event is replaceable (NIP-33). Re-publishing under the same d-tag updates the design in place.
Private publishing uses NIP-44 / NIP-04 to encrypt the payload to your own key — only you can decrypt on a fresh device.

Most modes autosave to localStorage as you edit, so you can close the tab and come back later. Publish to Nostr to share or to back up across devices.
Linked Designs let you reference another author's published design as a layer in yours. Their event is fetched and rendered live; the manifest p-tags the contributors for attribution.
The community browser (top-right Nostr widget) shows feeds you can filter and import from.
