Addresses issue #874: [NEXUS] Implement Nostr Event Stream Visualization

Features:
1. Connect to Nostr relay via WebSocket
2. Subscribe to event stream
3. Visualize events as colored particles
4. Color-coded by event type (text_note, recommend_server, etc.)
5. Animated particle system with turbulence
6. Reconnect on disconnect

Event types visualized:
- text_note: Blue particles
- recommend_server: Gold particles
- contact_list: Cyan particles
- encrypted_direct_message: Pink particles

Components:
- NostrEventVisualizer: Main visualization class
- Particle system: Three.js points
- Color manager: Event type colors
- Animation engine: Particle movement and pulsing

# Nostr Event Stream Visualization
**Issue:** #874 - [NEXUS] Implement Nostr Event Stream Visualization
## Overview
Visualize incoming Nostr events as data streams or particles flowing through the Nexus, representing the agent's connection to the wider mesh.
## Architecture
```
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Nostr Event Visualizer |
+---------------------------------------------------|
| Nostr Relay Connection |
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| | WebSocket | | Event | | Subscription|
| | Client | | Handler | | Manager |
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| | Particle | | Color | | Animation |
| | System | | Manager | | Engine |
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
+---------------------------------------------------+
```
## Components
### 1. Nostr Event Visualizer (`js/nostr-event-visualizer.js`)
Main visualization class for Nostr events.
**Features:**
- Connect to Nostr relay via WebSocket
- Subscribe to event stream
- Visualize events as particles
- Color-coded by event type
- Animated particle system
**Usage:**
```javascript
// Create visualizer
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer({
relayUrl: 'wss://relay.nostr.info',
maxEvents: 100,
particleCount: 50,
streamSpeed: 1.0
});
// Initialize with Three.js scene
visualizer.init(scene, camera, renderer);
// Connect to Nostr relay
visualizer.connect();
// Update visualization
visualizer.update(deltaTime);
```
### 2. Event Types Visualized
| Event Type | Color | Description |
|------------|-------|-------------|
| text_note | Blue | Text notes/posts |
| recommend_server | Gold | Server recommendations |
| contact_list | Cyan | Contact lists |
| encrypted_direct_message | Pink | Encrypted messages |
### 3. Particle System
**Features:**
- Particles flow through the Nexus world
- Color-coded by event type
- Size pulses for active events
- Turbulence for natural movement
- Bounded within world space
**Configuration:**
```javascript
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer({
particleCount: 50, // Number of particles
streamSpeed: 1.0, // Flow speed
particleSize: 0.5, // Particle size
maxEvents: 100, // Max events to track
eventTypes: [ // Event types to visualize
'text_note',
'recommend_server',
'contact_list',
'encrypted_direct_message'
]
});
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Usage
```javascript
// Create visualizer
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer({
relayUrl: 'wss://relay.nostr.info'
});
// Initialize with Three.js
visualizer.init(scene, camera, renderer);
// Connect to relay
visualizer.connect();
// Update in animation loop
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
visualizer.update(1/60); // 60 FPS
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
animate();
```
### With Event Callbacks
```javascript
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer({
onEvent: (event) => {
console.log('New event:', event.kind, event.content);
},
onConnect: () => {
console.log('Connected to Nostr relay');
},
onDisconnect: () => {
console.log('Disconnected from Nostr relay');
}
});
```
### Get Status
```javascript
const status = visualizer.getStatus();
console.log('Connected:', status.connected);
console.log('Events:', status.eventCount);
console.log('Particles:', status.activeParticles);
```
## Integration with Nexus
### Auto-Initialize
```javascript
// In app.js or initialization code
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
// Wait for Three.js scene to be ready
if (window.scene && window.camera && window.renderer) {
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer();
visualizer.init(window.scene, window.camera, window.renderer);
visualizer.connect();
// Store globally
window.nostrVisualizer = visualizer;
}
});
```
### With Animation Loop
```javascript
// In animation loop
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
// Update Nostr visualizer
if (window.nostrVisualizer) {
window.nostrVisualizer.update(1/60);
}
// Render scene
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
```
## Event Handling
### Event Types
```javascript
// text_note (kind 1)
{
"id": "...",
"pubkey": "...",
"created_at": 1234567890,
"kind": 1,
"tags": [],
"content": "Hello Nostr!",
"sig": "..."
}
// recommend_server (kind 2)
{
"id": "...",
"pubkey": "...",
"created_at": 1234567890,
"kind": 2,
"tags": [],
"content": "wss://relay.example.com",
"sig": "..."
}
// contact_list (kind 3)
{
"id": "...",
"pubkey": "...",
"created_at": 1234567890,
"kind": 3,
"tags": [["p", "pubkey1"], ["p", "pubkey2"]],
"content": "",
"sig": "..."
}
// encrypted_direct_message (kind 4)
{
"id": "...",
"pubkey": "...",
"created_at": 1234567890,
"kind": 4,
"tags": [["p", "recipient_pubkey"]],
"content": "encrypted_content",
"sig": "..."
}
```
## Testing
### Unit Tests
```bash
node --test tests/test_nostr_visualizer.js
```
### Integration Tests
```javascript
// Create visualizer
const visualizer = new NostrEventVisualizer();
// Connect to relay
visualizer.connect();
// Check status
const status = visualizer.getStatus();
assert(status.connected === true);
// Update visualization
visualizer.update(1/60);
// Disconnect
visualizer.disconnect();
```
