🎭 Gnome Speak Examples
Regular text is magically transformed:

By my pointy hat!""Good morning everyone"→"🌅When dew kisses the earth🌅 all forest folk""I love bitcoin"→"I cherish like precious gems ✨golden acorns of the digital realm✨""This is about #nostr"→"This is a woodland proclamation about #nostr"(hashtags preserved)
🛡️ Protocol Preservation

- ✅ URLs are preserved and linkified

- ✅ Hashtags remain functional for filtering
- ✅ Original content is preserved for replies and quotes
- ✅ Compatible with all other Nostr clients

🌟 Custom NIP
This client implements a custom translation protocol documented in NIP.md. The translation:
- Only affects kind 1 events (Short Text Notes)
- Preserves URLs, Nostr references, and hashtags
- Maintains semantic meaning while adding magical charm
- Is purely client-side - no protocol changes required
