Okay, new Nostriches! Yesterday I blew your mind 🤣 and showed you a music app or two that you could use your Nostr private key and sign into. Today, I'm going to show you a dedicated app for chatting in DMs, group chats, and Nostr powered chat rooms.

Check out nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk6ynf30t. You can download it on Google Play and on Apple's App Store.

Your Nostr app might have built in DMs, but DMs are kind of a mess on Nostr. There's an old legacy method with less privacy that major clients like Damus and Primal still use and then there's more private DMs that other clients like Amethyst, 0xchat, and others use.

Everybody needs a daily Derek 💜

🤣🤣🤣

NIP-17?

Shh. Don't confuse them with NIPs yet 🤣

Roger that, Chief Experience Officer!

Don't forget about Zapstore! 🫂

The real mind blower 🤯

Most of them are using Damus 👀 Zapstore don't help them.

PV Derek, Thanks a lot.

Do you have any thoughts about Keychat??

I don't like Keychat because their original implementation was to not use your existing Nostr keys and wanted to generate new keys, making things confusing for users. I wasn't a fan of this and haven't looked at the app since then. I can't give accurate thoughts on its current state.

I want to confirm with you: are you aware that the default DM end-to-end encryption in 0xChat and Amethyst does not provide forward secrecy and backward secrecy? If you are aware, you should clearly state this when making recommendations.

NIP-104 MLS will solve this.

Agree

GM Derek. Keep it up

Nice

Good info, thank you. Is there any way to post selectively, besides to a group? I meant like posting to a friend's list for personal posts?

#asknostr

yes should be possible

0xchat support posting moments to selected friends

Oh. I forgot about those. 👀 Thanks!

what you using for this? just nip17?

Giftwrapped notes to selected users

ah k makes sense, nice

I'm in the process of adding giftwrap support to nostrdb:

https://github.com/damus-io/nostrdb/issues/31

so soon damus clients will be able to process and query them directly from the database which will be nice. then I could display them with a special green lock icon in their feeds or something

Very cool!

Keep these tips coming!

what was the music app? I can't find it in your feed

wavlake was one

fountain might've been the other

Amazing app. Started onboarding contractors/team members to nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 incentivizing via lightning ⚡️ and cash for milestones and completions of job. Great work
