What is the difference between the full version and the lite version? What is the use case?
Hi nostr — 0xchat-lite v0.1.0 beta is out!
This is 0xchat lite version, a new lightweight chat client built around MLS — and it’s a bit different from the main 0xchat app.
* Focused, minimal UI for essential conversations
* Separate, platform-native UIs for iOS and Android
* Circle concept: easily switch between multiple circles, each with its own database, relay & file server configuration
**Other privacy features:**
* Encrypted local database
* Encrypted media uploads
* Automatic group ID rotation when members or group info change
* Only connects to relays configured for each circle — no hidden connections
It’s still in beta, so feedback is very welcome!
Try it out and help build a better, privacy-first chat experience on nostr. 🫶

Discussion
The full version is feature-rich, including NIP-17, NIP-29, and MLS, making it suitable for larger groups and communities.
The lite version only supports MLS, which is better suited for smaller, more private groups — like friends and family.
