Oof. I'm sorry you feel that way. I consider SimpleX to be far superior. And it has been independently audited. NIP-17 is no where near as private or secure as SimpleX which is far more robust as a dedicated privacy message system.

I am curious, why do you think that? Was it your NIP?

Yes it was his NIP. nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z and nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn and with NIP-44 nostr:npub10jcnehsxwrjepupvh602pl83up0dh3wv3fqfwv062smygqvpeuwsk03kag as well as some other people providing lesser contributions. NIP-44 was audited, but NIP-17 wasn't.

I thought it was a great idea and put initial GiftWrap support into gossip very early (9 months ago).

But NIP-17 DMs don't do everything SimpleX does. Neither is strictly better than the other.

Still I think NIP-17 DMs are good enough. They use ephemeral keypairs so just like SimpleX it is like there are no IDs. And I don't think forward secrecy is really worth it.
