njump is a HTTP Nostr gateway that allows you to browse profiles, notes and relays. It is an easy way to preview a resource and open it with your preferred client. The typical use of njump is to share content outside the Nostr world, where the nostr: schema is not yet recognized.
njump currently lives under nostr.at, you can reach it by appending a Nostr NIP-19 entity (npub, nevent, naddr, etc) after the domain: nostr.at/<nip-19-entity>.
For example, here's a user profile, a note and a long blog post.
There are several reasons to choose njump when sharing Nostr content outside of Nostr:
njump pages are extremely lightweight and fast to load. There is no client side javascript involved. They are minimalistic with the right attention to typography, focusing on the content without unnecessary details. Furthermore they are cached, so when sharing a page you can expect it to load fast and without friction. It's the perfect tool to onboard new users!
njump renders everything on the server-side, so it is able to generate useful, rich previews that work on Telegram, Discord, Twitter, and other places.
Great Browser Experience
njump has no interest capturing users. On the contrary, it invites them to "jump" to any Nostr resource by picking from a list of web clients or, with a nostr: prefix, for native clients. It even remembers the most used client for each visitor and puts it on the top for fast, easy access.

njump pages are static so that search engines can index them. This means that njump can help others to discover great content on Nostr, jump in and join us! njump is the only Nostr resource with this explicit goal. If you care that a good note can be found online, use njump to share it. This will help Nostr to flourish and make it more accessible to everyone.
Share your own profile with a pretty NIP-05 inspired permalink: nostr.at/<nip-05>, for example: https://nostr.at/nvk.org or https://nostr.at/mike@mikedilger.com.
A profile shows your basic metadata info, assigned "outbox" relays, and your latest notes.
Quickly and effortlessly share Nostr notes on Twitter, Telegram, and many other "social platforms": just drop a link, and njump will render the note text using the preview image as a canvas, to maximize the sharing experience and utility. On Telegram, we have also the Instant View to access long content in-app!
View the most recent content posted to a relay by using nostr.at/r/<relay-host>, for example: https://nostr.at/r/nostr.wine
Some basic relay information (NIP-11) is available. We hope operators will start to make these descriptors more personal and informative, so users can have a way to evaluate whether or not to join a relay.
You know, we are all programmers, including our moms, so for every njump page, you can toggle the "Show more details" switch to inspect the full event JSON. Without installing other tools (like nak), this is probably the fastest way to access that infomation.
