⚡ What is Zappy Place?

Zappy Place is a fully decentralized, censorship-resistant pixel canvas inspired by Reddit Place. It's powered by the Nostr protocol and Lightning Network for instant, uncensorable pixel placement.

Unlike traditional pixel canvases that rely on centralized servers, Zappy Place lives entirely on the Nostr network. Your pixels are stored forever across distributed relays, making the canvas truly permanent and unstoppable.

🎯 How to Play

• Navigate: Use mouse/touch to pan around the canvas, zoom with scroll wheel or buttons
• View Designs: Click on a design to see who created it and view their message / profile.
• Place Pixels: Click a free pixel on the canvas to enter preview mode.
• Choose a Color: Select from the color palette on the left
• Preview Mode: Place multiple pixels, see cost breakdown. Position your design by dragging one of your placed pixels to a new location.
• Craft a message: Add a message and a link to your design.
• Submit & Zap: Pay with Lightning to add your design to the canvas for others to see.
• Collaborate: Work with others to create amazing pixel art!

💰 Smart Pricing System

Zappy Place uses age-based pricing to encourage collaboration while protecting recent artwork. The older a pixel is, the cheaper it becomes to overwrite:

💡 Pro Tip: Enable "Cost Mode" in preview to see age-based color borders around existing pixels! Drag your entire design to find cheaper spots.
