i wish there were a way in Nostr DMs to say “are you on Signal? can we discuss there? here’s my phone number: X” and it could just push the convo over there if the counter-party accepts

until we have a good nostr-native DM-like tool

Wouldn't you need to find the other party your phone number to connect on Signal?

yeah, i do this already and would do it more, but it’s clunky. obviously would be better with npub exchange and some private relay to not leak DM metadata (and not waste relay resources)

Came across this last night. Is good step in right direction.

ah, that’s cool, thanks for sharing!

Use SimpleX messenger and you are covered.

looks pretty good! 👀

do you know if the team is aware-of/interested in Nostr?

I’m not sure if they are aware of Nostr.

What I see is that their underlying relay protocol is similar to Nostr publish subscribe.

That means someone should be able to reimplement SimpleX duplex channels over Nostr relays:

very nice! 😎
