Releasing the new ContextVM website 🚀

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the brand new ContextVM website, now live at contextvm.org! This is a major step forward in our mission to create a truly sovereign, resilient, and open marketplace for computational tools and services.
This first version of our new site is fully functional and provides the core tools you need to engage with the ContextVM servers. Our primary focus is on making it simple to discover, connect to, and use ContextVM servers.
Discover and Connect
The new website acts as your gateway to the ContextVM ecosystem. The key functionality allows you to:
- Discover Public Servers: Find and explore publicly available ContextVM servers shared by the community.
- Connect to Private Servers: The platform is designed not just for public use, but to give you a seamless interface for connecting to and using your own private servers. Run a service on your machine at home and access it from anywhere, securely and privately.
Our goal is to break down the barriers of traditional networking. With ContextVM, running a service is as simple as running an app on your laptop—no public IP addresses, complex firewall rules, or gatekeepers required. This new website is the user-friendly portal to that experience.

A New Home for a Growing Project
As part of this launch, we’ve reorganized our online presence to better serve the community:
- New Pages: The site now includes a Blog (which you’re reading right now!), a comprehensive About page explaining our vision, and an FAQ to answer common questions. We want to provide clear, accessible information for everyone, from new users to experienced developers.
- Dedicated Docs: All of our technical documentation has been moved to its new home at docs.contextvm.org.
Openly Built and Ready for Contribution
In the spirit of decentralization and collaboration, the entire website is open source. It’s built with modern tools, including Svelte 5 and the applesauce Nostr library. We encourage you to check out the code, fork it, and contribute.
While this first iteration is stable and fully working, we are continually iterating to add new features and improve the design.
We Need Your Help! A Call for Designers
We are actively looking for talented designers to help us shape the future of the ContextVM interface. If you have experience in UI/UX design and believe in a more open, permissionless internet, we would love to hear from you. Your contribution can make a massive impact on the usability and appeal of the project.
