# Curate

> Curate is a website for finding, reading and adding to DLists. A DList is a list that anyone can add to: one person starts it and says what it is about, and everyone else adds entries.

DLists live on nostr, an open network, so no one company owns them and any app can read them. Curate has no accounts and charges nothing. Reading needs nothing at all. To add to a list or make one, you connect a signer, a small program that holds your key and signs for you. The guide explains each part in plain words, one page for each. All of it is also in one file: https://curate.brainstorm.world/llms-full.txt.

## Guide

- [What is a DList?](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/what-is-a-dlist.md): A DList is a list that anyone can add to, and this page explains how one is put together and who decides what you see.
- [Finding and reading lists](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/exploring-lists.md): How to find a list on Discover, read its page, and open an item to see it as its list describes it, its tags, the event as signed, or what it links to.
- [Whose items you see, and how votes count](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/trust-and-votes.md): Your web of trust decides which items a list shows you and whose votes count, and this page explains whose web of trust Curate uses and how voting works.
- [Connecting to write](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/signing-in.md): Reading needs nothing, and to write you need a signer, a browser extension or a phone app that can also make your key, which Curate asks to sign each change.
- [Creating a list](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/creating-a-list.md): Make your own DList in Curate: name it, say what each item holds, pick its short name, check the preview, and publish it as a shared concept.
- [Adding, editing and deleting items](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/adding-items.md): Add an item to any list that declares fields, change the items you added, and delete them, including what deleting means on nostr.
- [Shared concepts and your own version](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/versions.md): Many lists can be versions of one shared idea, and this page explains which version you see, how to make and edit your own, and what withdrawing does.
- [For developers and AI agents](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/for-developers.md): The kinds and tags behind a DList, example events as Curate writes them, filters for reading lists from relays, and how to answer questions about a list.
- [Glossary and questions](https://curate.brainstorm.world/guide/glossary-and-faq.md): The words this guide uses, each in a sentence or two, and answers to common questions, from getting started and cost to deleting and missing items.
