Nowhere encodes entire websites into URL fragments, which browsers never transmit to servers, making content structurally private and impossible to deplatform.
Key Takeaways
URL fragments (text after #) are never sent to servers per the HTTP specification – the server delivering Nowhere’s page builder files never receives your site’s content.
Nostr relays handle orders, messages, and coordination; relays receive only encrypted blobs from ephemeral keys generated per action and immediately discarded.
No accounts, no identity, no hosting – a site encoded in a fragment cannot be seized because it was never stored anywhere to seize.
Site creators can password-encrypt the fragment itself; possessing the link reveals nothing about its contents without the key.
Offline-ready: encode any site as a QR code and it carries a complete store, event, or drop accessible via the Nowhere app with zero internet.
Hacker News Comment Review
The single comment confirms the core privacy mechanism is structural, not policy-based: the HTTP spec prohibits fragment transmission, so the server has no technical path to log which site was visited.
