🌍 Earthly is becoming much more than a web map.
Over the past few weeks, we have made a big step towards an open geographic workspace that can be used on the web, installed on your devices, shared privately, and carried into places without reliable internet.
The most important new features are:
🧭 A new tour page
📱 The Earthly app
🔒 Private groups — public alpha
🏕️ Offline-capable Field sessions
✨ A massively improved AI map editor
🧭 A new tour page
The new Earthly tour introduces the project through real workflows: drafting operational maps, asking spatial questions, collaborating across devices, publishing map-backed stories, and drawing offline from a phone.
Take the tour to get a better understanding of Earthly, its features, and its capabilities:

📱 Earthly is now an app
The Android app contains the complete Earthly workspace, adapted for touch, plus capabilities browsers cannot reliably provide: an embedded local node, Nostr relay, #Blossom server, saved offline regions, nearby Field sessions, and a durable delivery queue. All built on #nostr technology.
Android on Zapstore:

macOS preview for Apple silicon:

⚠️ The macOS build is currently an unsigned, unnotarized preview.
🔒 Private groups — public alpha
Private groups combine encrypted chat, comments, maps, and shared geometry in one workspace. Earthly uses MLS — Messaging Layer Security — to encrypt group records and update the cryptographic epoch whenever membership changes.
Cordn coordinates membership and orders delivery through @nprofile…g2s8 over Nostr, but only receives opaque MLS records. It does not receive plaintext messages or maps. Invitations are signed, joining requires an MLS key package, and an administrator must approve new members.
👋 Join our Earthly test group -> the link is at the bottom of this post!
⚠️ Private groups are still alpha. The MLS implementation is release-candidate software and has not received an independent professional security audit. Please experiment with us, report problems, and do not yet rely on it for highly sensitive or safety-critical coordination.
✨ A much more capable AI mapping assistant
Earthly’s AI chat can now inspect the current map, research places, query geographic sources, create and revise structured geometry, and turn the resulting Dataset into an article with inline map references.
Tip: Try Kimi 2.7 code highspeed via the moonshot API. - ITS FUCKING FACEMELTING 🚀
Its actions remain inspectable, and everything it creates becomes editable GeoJSON — not a screenshot or a closed AI artifact.
🧠 Technically, the assistant combines typed editor tools, a bounded QuickJS geospatial sandbox, and remote ContextVM/MCP tools. Geographic research is federated across OpenStreetMap and Overpass, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and our private SearXNG service.

🏕️ Offline maps and nearby Field sessions
The native app embeds its own Nostr relay and Blossom file service. Saved regions can keep map tiles and referenced resources on the device, verify them by hash, and load them locally.
Signed publications enter a durable SQLite outbox before the first network attempt and can be delivered byte-for-byte when connectivity returns.
📡 Field sessions are a separate nearby collaboration mode. A host creates a signed, expiring, single-use invitation. Another phone joins over shared Wi-Fi or a hotspot, signs the pairing claim, and waits for explicit host approval.
The resulting permission is capability- and session-scoped. Devices can then exchange verified Nostr records and hash-verified Blossom files without depending on an internet connection or central relay.
🛠️ And many smaller improvements
Earthly now has proper multi-step drawing for rectangles, circles, triangles, and arrows; scaling controls with meaningful handles; larger arrowheads; real dashed lines; centered line labels; deletion for Private groups and Field sessions; a cleaner and collapsible AI configuration interface; better toast placement; model switching; and a swipeable mobile tour slider.
🌱 Earthly remains open source and built around open geography, open protocols, and user-controlled data.

> No Claude, 3 companion apps on the phone won't hurt adoption. We are expecting a user base of sophisticated enthusiasts.

This weekend i have implement a basic library/feature folder and vibed a few demos for @nprofile…9z0n state machine spec to:
- wrap my head around it
- see what can be done with it
- see if my instincts are right that this can be used as a basic smart contract vehicle
- what is the potential if we combine it with nostr-scrolls or just wasm snippets in general and where they belong
- have autistic discussions about it
All demos have a event/timeline inspector so we can see what's happening under the hood.
Check it out at: https://schlaustronics.com/nsm/
Source: https://github.com/zeSchlausKwab/nsm
Here is a short description for each demo:
#counter — Counter
The smallest possible Nostr state machine: two players, one shared counter, race to 5. Every TICK is a signed kind:7501; a 3rd-party custodian validates it against the SM definition and publishes a signed kind:30078 snapshot. Click TICK out of turn and watch the custodian reject it with NO_TRANSITION — no off-chain coordination, no shared backend.
#rps — Rock-Paper-Scissors
Commit-reveal RPS over Nostr. Both players publish a hash of their move first; only after both commitments land do they reveal the cleartext, so no one can peek and play accordingly. The SM enforces the order: REVEAL inputs are rejected before both commits exist.
#badges — Mint + Transfer
Mint a badge from any image — the asset id is sha256(image_bytes), content-addressable by construction. Transfers run through a shared "Ownership" state machine that requires the validator to cosign before the transfer settles, blocking double-spends. Open the "ownership proof" panel on a transferred badge to see the cryptographic chain you can verify offline.
#scroll-counter — Counter, but the action is a WASM scroll
Same counter, but the increment isn't hardcoded — it's a WebAssembly module published as a kind:1227 event ("a scroll"). Pick plus-one or times-two, the custodian fetches the scroll off the relay and runs it on every TICK. Actions are now content-addressed bytecode anyone can author, publish, and audit.
#bet — Time-driven betting with oracle + payout scrolls
Two parties stake, the match has wall-clock start/end times, and the SM advances itself: the custodian schedules START_MATCH / CANCEL_BET / TIMEOUT inputs from a schedule table. Resolution is two scrolls — an oracle scroll that names the winner, a payout scroll that computes splits. Optionally, the custodian delegates scroll execution to a remote CVM scroll-executor over MCP-over-Nostr (per CEP-15).
#vote — Deadline-driven voting
Open a question with a deadline; voters cast kind:7501 YES/NO/ABSTAIN inputs. The custodian schedules a synthetic FINALIZE input at the deadline, tallies votes against a configurable threshold, and snapshots the result — no one needs to "close the poll" manually. Watch the countdown tick, then watch the SM transition itself.
#negotiator — Two parties agree on a SM, a jukebox spawns it
Alice and Bob exchange kind:7500 proposals over Nostr (machine definition + scroll source) until both sign the same one. The agreed bundle is then handed to a "jukebox" — a CVM/MCP server that spawns + custodians the machine on demand. The whole negotiation is on-relay; the jukebox tool call rides MCP-over-Nostr per CEP-15, encrypted via NIP-44 gift-wraps.
#nested — Parent SM invokes child SMs
A tournament parent SM uses XState's invoke to spawn two child match SMs (counter-style, race to 4). Alice TICKs match A, bob TICKs match B; each child's onDone flips a flag in the parent, and an always transition fires FINISHED once both children complete. The interesting bit: each child's nested state (count, value, etc.) round-trips through kind:30078 verbatim — getPersistedSnapshot().children is what makes it work.
