Nostr Web Client

Legitimately feeling bullish with the Bitcoin+Nostr+SimpleX combo.

3 of the things I use the most for comms and commerce actually work.

These freedom alternatives are actually better than the centralized/pwnd competitors.

Signal need of phone numbers always rubbed me the wrong way. They never fixed that, must be malicious.

Twitter still king, but Nostr works, it's very yonge but growing.

Fuck fiat. Bitcoin is the Barbarian at the gates.

Signal’s phone number thing is the weirdest model I’ve seen. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect from Facebook.

I really want to see a mac desktop app for SimpleX; I hope someone else builds it but it’s on my list

Ah, damn, I’m going to put a bounty for it! 🤯

Nobody has answered how the one device limitation is going to be fixed.

Like Signal does. At least that’s the model I have in mind.

It’s actually the exact same model that nsecBunker does. Hell, you could even have your SimpleX key *in* nsecBunker

Would this mean we’d have to use nsecbunker to use Nostr?

No 🤔

I’m not understanding the tech on this one. I’m a grug brain.

What’s the problem with limiting to one device? Are you saying you can’t transfer conversations to a new phone?

I use Nostr on 5 devices on a daily basis. It would be a seriously bad design to tell people they could not be logged in on multiple devices.

But, it sounds like Pablo and others have an idea for a fix for this.

I talked to SimpleX devs last month about a desktop client:

“yes, in active development, the release of the first test version is imminent”

yeah, I compiled and ran it yesterday, very early days, but hopefully I'm sure it'll be usable in a few weeks

Nice. It would be cool to see #nostr clients and SimpleX be cooperative siblings if outright integration is not possible.

Their Twitter account said desktop version to be released potentially as early as next week.
